    That's a sexy lookin machine. I do understand the nostalgia that makes the older guys want to preserve these bikes but wow do they look good modded out. Huge engine plus giant gas tank looks mean

      haha yeah unfortunately I hate the gas tank, but I don't have the funds to restructure the backbone right now.

        Is that seat custom? Or did you retrofit one?

            Did you just slap it right on without any mod?

              haha no....it is definitely not a "slap on" and not an easy seat to mod to fit. this being because it has a plastic seat pan and the only metal is the tongue and small tab in the rear I used to mount my tail light. The reason I use this seat is because on straight aways and freeways I use my rear foot pegs and this seat is very comfortable in that position and allows me to straighten my back, otherwise it does not have much padding. I get back pain if I stay in an upright seating position too long on this bike. These seats are hard to come by at a good price in like new condition like mine was.
