After exactly1 year after its low-budget purchase on craigslips, my 1978 Supersport build is finally finished. The best part was the fact there was no down-time; each change and addition only took a bit of wrenching of bolt-on parts.
It started from an original running but ratty 78 Supersport (in black, of course) immediately added tires, battery, chain, gave it a good cleaning and put some miles on it. Then I luckily found an Action 4's exhaust on eBay (which immediately got polished aluminum ceramic coated), with a new Supertrapp muffler to cap it off. Norman Hyde handlebars gave it the "right" riding position. Changing to a smaller rear sprocket gave it taller and better cruising feel. A vintage Vesco Rabid Transit fairing was sourced and everything painted black. An unknown brand saddle was the next piece, and then a couple shiny parts were blacked-out, and I'd say its done. Built to ride, and it gets it.
