I still have a 69 Trophy and yes it did leak a little oil but nothing to be concerned about and never had any electrical problems for about 10 years then the wires up around the steering head began getting brittle and cracking and intermittantly losing contact. That is when I started rewiring then turned into a ground up rebuild, which is now sitting in the spare bedroom. It got put on the back burner when I bought my brand new TBA in 02. I do believe that the single carbs run better and are easier to keep tuned and running great!!! Mine would smoke the Bonnevilles that I used to ride with as well as a 1000cc Sportster!
