oh yes, its a piece of kit alright... i don't think there is a single plug/jack on the whole bike, a bunch 1/4" blade terminals under the seat .....but as i understand though, some folks love these Beezers ..

I see now that it was quite a stunner in 1969, but i just finished a cam pulse generator on a CBR1000rr and am really amazed at the power and smoothness of these newer bikes...wonder how the vintage rocket 3 rides...lets see!

I was kinda curious too...according to wikipedia
Gott mit uns ("God with us") is a phrase commonly used in heraldry in Prussia (from 1701) and later by the German military during the periods spanning the German Empire(1871 to 1918), the Third Reich (1933 to 1945), and the early years of West Germany (1949 to 1962).

who knew?

Many of the symbols we associate with the Third Reich held entirely different meanings before they high jacked them. Many were religious. Recently there was a renovation at a church here in town and a number of swastikas were bound in a beautiful mosaic that had been covered after the war. The church dated back to the mid 1800s.
