Here's on from the other day, out with my wife for a rip.


What kind of seat and fly screen is that? I love the way it looks!

The seat is one I built, picked up a spare stock pan and went from there. Just about to redo it again, needs another layer of foam. I lost a bunch of weight this year and my ass doesn't like it anymore lol. The fly screen is a stock triumph bonneville or thruxton, got it cheap on eBay and painted it to match. Glad you like.

Its a great look. Love it. Great job on the weight loss. After dropping 90,  I quit smoking and gained 20. Time to get after it again.

So, the strategy is to lie to people you are asking for help?

I think I'll be busy going for a ride.

Good luck!

It's amazing how much quicker my 77 gets up to speed since I lost 35 lbs, haha. I don't know if it goes any faster, but it is way more snappier off the line and it pulls harder than ever.

They are new OEM. Tracked down 4 pipes from two sources. Not cheap, probably never find a set. There are aftermarket however.

I switched pretty soon, it was easy to take down. The rear tire was so fat(flat), and the rear shocks where so burnt out, the plywood was next to the rear tire when I got it on to the center stand.

My little 77k, clubman bars and 4-1 exhaust. My first bike so I'm biased to love the 77-78s!

That's me and my bike Photoshopped into the ad. I edited the text because mine has a 4 into 1 setup on it. The ad was originally for a '78 as well. The original ad is above it.

New to the forum & just got my first bike this summer, 750 K7 pictured below. Anyone have recommendations on where to get a new seat cover? I've searched on eBay & a few sites, but can't find anything that seems quality.

GV, your bike looks awesome!


Now with new Carpy exhaust...
