Almost embarrassed to post these after seeing tangerine's finished pics, but since there was no Steelers' game this Sunday, I spent some time in the garage working on the 78. I still don't know what direction to take with this bike. When I got it on trade it had just about every late 70's doo-dad added to it, "grab-on" bars and foamy grips, chrome backrest/luggage rack, crash bars with highway pegs, king/queen seat and for some reason, crap EMGO pods...I have a Dunstall fiberglass Cafe seat that I was going to use on my 76, but decided not to, so I was going to use it on this, but I'm still up in the air--I also have drag bars that are going on it, but don't know how far to take the cafe look on this bike-as it is big and heavy.
In the meantime, I am cleaning the swingarm/back of the case, batt. box, etc. as the PO allowed battery acid to drip over everything--so I am on the cleaning phase..some pics so far:
ugh--acid everywhere, but no structural damage
a bit cramped--would help if I built the bench I have sitting in the carboard box..
a very prelim. look--lots of pieces to come off if I go with the Dunstall seat..
