i figured i would post some on here of what my 79 looks like as of now...





the tank is getting stripped it just a spary can job... im alsom looking for a differnt exhaust due to the emgos are a no go and really disliked the way they looked and would prefer a 4 into 1 anyway...so for now the no mufflers for me till i get some money up to buy a set of speggetis or somthin... it all built on what i got. i dont have alot of money so im trying to get the look i want on a budget...thanks again for all the help so far

Hey! Looking good there Dutcher. Real comfy looking seat, and you got'er shined up nice. Got rear shocks in the plans? Persistance and attention to detail doesn't cost much; bonding so to speak.

Lookin good!

i got shocks but dont like throwin my lag over her like a damn stallion...it sits way to high for me with the stock rear shock set up... i put 1 shock on the right side to see if it will lower it... but it looked kinda goofy. im in the market for some crf150 shocks on each side or sothing along those lines. still torn between cafe or bobber (with class of course)

Look for HD shocks. You can get OEM HD one cheap a LOT of the time, and they are about 1" shorter than the stock. IIRC, they are a "bolt on" fit.
Good looking bike, so far! will be nice to see what you decide on for a "finished" product! (AS IF WE EVER ARE DONE CHANGING THINGS!)

Hi Lee,
try a few swapmeets, I got this pair of Triumph mufflers for $30.



I like the way they look and they sound great.
A swapmeet can also be a target-rich environment for used shorter shocks.

no swapmeets near me....but being in iowa there are farmers swapmeet and auto swapmeets (i do go to those)

Hi Lee,
Saskatchewan's motorcycle swapmeets tend to be small affairs with not much in them beyond Hell's Angels prospects buying and selling stolen Harley parts.
Our CVMG group has lately been carpooling to Red Deer AB for the CVMG-run spring and fall swapmeets, which is where those mufflers came from.
