    +! on the SG. The engine covers do not have black circles, and the foot peg brackets do not have black framed indents.

    Definitely the special model though.
    Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

    When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

      It is an '80. Good eye. 1100SH, then? I would love to take it riding, but the ice is an inch thick on half the roads at the moment. Doesn't seem like a good idea right now haha. And yes, it really does shift like a tractor, and it has never had any trouble holding gears at full throttle. Depending on the weather, I will try to pull it out and get some pictures of the other side tomorrow after work.

              Don't know what the seat is off of but it sure isn't the right one. Otherwise your bike looks great.

                  Oh yeah... I forgot to mention. The seat is on backwards. I pulled the battery to protect it from the cold, and just set the seat back down. I didn't realize it was on backwards until after I had taken the pictures. It has either been redone or replaced, but I like it. It is quite comfortable.

                      It appears you have a Sargent seat. You'll probably find their little tag if you look for it. Below is mine. It looks just like yours.
