Ref Sloppy Link:

My bike also has rear foot pegs. Doesn't make sense with a solo seat. Mine (Serial #121190) was last registered in 1977 with 10K on the spedo.
You will notice the brazed on brackets for foot rests, so why? There are a lot of discrepancies just because of the way they were built in batches.
So be careful on the advice you get. For example my P-11 Ranger has skimmed front and rear hubs which people will say is wrong however the
Serial number 128691 was very early in the production run so I have to believe they used what was on the shelf left over from the P-11A run.
This bike has only 3K on the sped so I seriously doubt some one would change out the hubs. Bottom line unless you have lived with a bike from the day
it left the factory you don't know what has been done to it. Another example: The P-11 came with alloy front fenders however they cracked and dealers replaced them with steel (which explains why mine has those). Walridge's has the alloy replacement fenders, don't ask me how you keep them from cracking.
