Jim,
FYI, CD198L has the typical 250/6 door latches. Pre
1968 TR250 has a different commission plate than the
'68 models. They were still using the TR4/4A plates.
BTW, this is the 40th year of production of the 250.
If any of you cats out there with a 250 and an
interesting story...Please get them to me for the
6-PACK Newsletter
Cheers,
Todd Bermudez
