Below is a previous thread on the Eye-talian HDs.
HD Ameracchi

Here is a brief description and photo of my '69 350SS from the thread.  It has been in the family since it was new and I have owned it for the last 15 years.  The '69s are a bit unique due to their place in the model history.  I am not sure what you know about these HDs already, but I would be happy to help anyway I can. waytogo

Here is a picture of my '69 Sprint 350SS.  My father bought it brand new in '69.
The quick stats: 350cc, single cylinder, pushrod, dry clutch, 6volt, 4spd (right foot shift; 1 up, 3 down). 
It weighs around 300lbs and puts down an arm-wrenching 25hp at 7000rpms. 
An absolute blast to ride (when everything is working).

Everything is not reversed.  The clutch, front brake and throttle are the same as on our Ducatis.  The rear brake, shift lever, kickstart lever and side stand is different than post 1975 bikes.  But this was common pattern on European, British and even good ol' Harleys before the US government mandated a standard pattern in 1975.

I warn you that owning a Vintage Bike is a whole different animal.  Doing 65 on an old bike seems like doing 100 on a modern bike.  You'll need to drag your feet and down shift to stop it.  Parts may be hard to find.  No o-ring chain so that will need attention frequently as well other unknown issues.  You'll end up down shifting when you want to brake.  You'll get brain cramps trying to remember where the reversed controls are.  Hope your not dyslexic.  But other than that it should be big fun. 
I vote, buy it! waytogo
