JJ, this is 76'. Weinert was Open Class champ in 74 so had #1 on the Yamaha in 75'. then won again in 75', but switched back yo Kawa for 76'. I think Howerton won Open Class National championship in 76'. all of that would make this pic from the 76' Trans AMA series.
those Kwackers had really neat 2- piece fiberglass tanks that were held together, in part, with pop rivets. Semics bike of the same year had those way-cool fork tube protectors which appeared to be some sort of HDPE stock which was either turned down or molded.

- Jimmy is sportin no.1, so is this 75? Looks like Kaw had gone to the leading axle forks on Jimmys 450, and the fiberglass tank too.

- this is the same track as the Moates pic. likely the same day with these two in 500 International class and Marty in 250 Support.

That's a neat artical about Phil and Lars!
It is a 76 - the 77s were blue
But they were very small to save weight.
1976 Model

Lars said his were made of steel, anyway.
This could be a '76, even a '77 model, I think.
Haslet Joe has a '77 on the stand right now, and it looks just like it. His has leading axle forks, but his manual says it came with straight legs.
New fenders installed by yours truly, and yes, they a…
It must be fast because the front motor mount was engineered for the extreme Greeves power. I believe MKA went to school was Charlie Greeves and will have something German to say on the subject. Martin "poking the bear" Brazil
anyone who ever went fast on a Greeves has my admiration!
1975 model?
Mark Pledger went plenty fast on one of these, for a while. David Greenhill also did his share of damage to Jap bikes riding a machine like this.
still needs a "Goodie Guard"
