Is the timing cover different on this model compared to other '75's?

NY yellow bike is not a bad deal, the other yellow one won't be selling at that price without reliable race prominence.
The e-bay bike is hard to tell, but i think the starter has been removed and blocked off.

Take a quick trip out of the US and sell a kidney or half your liver.

That looks eerily similar to something else I've seen recently... can't place my finger on it...
You probably want to go into town, and find a up to date Jap Bike store,
With a full spares department, a clean workshop, and kean young mechanics.
And ask them if theres a Grumpy Old Bloke out in the Hills, who knows how to fix Real Motorcycles.

The better question is "did all yellow race replicas have kill buttons?"

Looks like a stock '75 MK3 timing cover to me. Mine is just like it.
