I always wondered where those all-chrome, post-1973 DL-1s were meant to be marketed to. My 1979 Rudge is virtually identically spec'ed to this (minus the taillight) - B73, front mudflap, adjustable rod stays as opposed to the US-spec wire stays, 21" frame, narrow bars, and DBU unit.
Would I be correct in guessing it has a fork lock as well?
It's been 10+ years and I still haven't heard any stories pop up out of the woodwork that explains these particular DL-1s.
