Hi, all! Just joined the board, as I'm going to be digging the 79 SF out of the basement and refurbing her for mounting the California Friendship II I just purchased. I do believe this will make a nice strong horse for the sidehack.
I bought the SF new in 79, put about 60K on it, and sold it in 85 to a deadbeat who never paid me what he owed me. I repo'd the bike but never got the title back until about two years ago. My stable is full of other bikes (the avatar is my daily short-hopper: a much-modded 98 Trident) so I had no plans for the SF until I stumbled onto a deal for a well-used hack.
Was turning wrenches professionally back when I bought the 1100, so it already has 2-into-2 Jardines, K&N pods, White Bros. coils, air rear shocks, and some other goodies…
I'll probably be asking about part sources, etc., but may be a source for some minor tech advice for others as well.
I think this is going to be an interesting winter project!
