Why do some Trail Twisters have the headight in the center, the others offset to the right? Seems I've only seen the center version on 75's, not on 76's. Thanks!

That was used on the early production 75 TT but was later changed. I assume to either allow more direct airflow to the motor, or possibly for tooling purposes as the ST was offset. I don't know how many where produced before they changed to the offset light, but until I bought one I didn't know they came that way. I think the only other one I've seen was on EBay.

The early '75 T/T's with the centre headlight had issues with debris being sucked into the airbox, the offset headlight grill was a no charge upgrade.
