[61_FL_Apache]

I have had both. I would prefer with out. My 65 was easy to work on with out that in the way. But the 61 has given me a place to mount the bags in the rear. I have them where the X meets the rest of the frame and that worked perfect.

Also with the X you will have tortion suspension in the front. That also adds another crossmember where the adjustments are. I had a little tough time getting my tranny out with that in the way.
