Thanks Steve, and thanks for your help, it's always appreciated    

Yes Steve the shifter is correct for 1973 it's a frame mounted shifter. In 1973 Apollo's only have the frame mounted smaller shifter. The interesting thing is that in 1972 and in 1974 they used both the smaller frame mounted shifter and the larger shifter. I have discussed this with Apollonut and we seem to have noticed that the later 72 and early 74 Apollos have the frame mounted shifters. I am thinking Ross probably made a run of frames with the frame mounts in late 72 for the 73 year. They probably put some out in late 72 with the small shifter and then used the over run into 74 as well, because the later 74 bikes revert back to the large shifter again .  

Hey DT I didn't mean to correct you, I think you just responded as I was typing my reponse
