Panhead changes: Tapered pinion shaft and gear and oil-pump worm gear for this year to reduce gear noises. 3 frame types: Wishbone without horn mount; Wishbone with flattened downtubes-no horn mount; Straight leg with "T" mounting bracket. Jubilee trumpet horn is introduced, faster acting throttle, round check balls in oil pump, nonsplined shifter shaft and lever, new foot shifter w/optional heel lever.

Black hard plastic saddlebags could be ordered, and winged fireball emblems were placed everywhere.
