As i've posted in another topic area, I've acquired a '73 RT3 in almost complete condition...kicks over, has compression, non-rusty tank, seat pan, and wheels. I'll be sporadically posting questions ...

I've mentioned it before, but I use the formula that you spend $300 on a runner (barely), put $1000 into it, and you have a nice bike that is worth $1200.

First of all, I recently acquired a '71 RT1, and plan on doing a nut-up resto/refurb on it, within reason. Most missing bits seem to be available on ebay, but not too many carbs.

In a word...yes....same thing will happen if the wire to one blinker gets disconnected (like if you're fiddling with wires inside the headlight bucket).

My take on this subject is that if the bike (or car or truck or whatever) was produced in fairly reasonable numbers, then the world is not going to be deprived of never seeing an original-spec vehicle ...
