Interesting to see telescopic forks on your VT2. When I purchased mine, that wasn't available. Must have a earlier version?

Yours also has a spring like the VT1. Maybe they used leftover forks on yours. Compare date codes on the motors...

Ron Kimball told me that my VT2 was one of the first VT2 made. Good idea on motor date code. Any guidance on decoding the motor?

No, that is the original engine. Being a teenager, it could of been 1972 when I purchased the VT2. I remember seeing an ad in the Farm Journal advertising for an extra $10, I could upgrade to a 5 hp engine with alternator and headlight/taillight.
