Maddog13407 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 thought the R700 with standard hood got replaced with the Superdog in 78??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
57 bcr Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 thought the R700 with standard hood got replaced with the Superdog in 78???The RL/RS (Western) 700 was replaced by the Superdog,Matt.The Eastern R-700 lived on, but with a taller stance,much like the RS/RL 700 until I think '84.
