79F pics?

[newmaac]

Hi folks, I have a '79F partzer that has been majorly modified.
I ride an "80 Special, so a lot of the parts on the Standard are worthless to my bike.
I am thinking about selling the seat but I think that It might have been altered at one time.
On the stock 79 Standard seat, is there a brake light, flush mounted into the back of the plastic section of the seat?
I looked at the picture postings, but could not tell.
TIA, Mike

The 78E and 79F standards had rear lights mounted on the rear fender. Check out the pictures section of this site.

Re: 79F pics?

I'll bet your partzer is missing the plastic cowling at the rear of the seat and you have that gaping hole there and can't figure out why it is there. Right? The cowling was there to cover the older position of the "black box."

No, actually I do still have the cowling intact, but there ia a brake light mounted INTO the plastic cowling.
The Bike had been lowered, and the rear fender removed, but I could not determine if the brake light was stock.
It sounds as though the PO placed the light into the cowling when removing the fender.
It looks well done, that's why I thought that it was stock.
Anyone have an interest in a customized Seat/cowling?
