When you get your 79 special done, I will trade you my 80 special for a bike swap!

The 79 isnt a special and it will be a while before i give up either, one to ride while i strip the other down to the bone. Going to get them both started and then decide which one to redo first...

I kinda like the flame job on the standard tank, green would've been even sweeter! Good luck on whichever way you go with 'em and enjoy, these machines are extreme fun!

If you look at the last post on the first page he says it is a recovered stock seat.

I guess I'll have to find someone that wants a nice '80 seat in trade for a nice '79.

That would be to difficult to make a 79 seat fit an 80. It would be better just to have your current seat redone to the way you want.

Oh I didn't realize they changed that around between the years as well. I like the style of the pan on the '79 and it looks like the seat cushion itself is more narrow which would be nice for my skinny legs. I seen some pans/seats on ebay and the other linked site posted in the beginning of the thread but the ones with that curved back (like '79) had a flat seat with almost no cushion. I'll keep looking around.
