Jim,
I do not see in the description where they are advertising this as a
factory 100M just as a BN2 with the bigger carburetors, and therefore a
possible a Le Mans conversion. If they knew it was a real Factory "M",
trust me they wold advertise it as such. There is now too much of a price
difference to not find out for certain.
Cheers,
Curt
