Topic: Another '78 K-Model

I am still looking for a stock seat ('77 preferably) if anyone has one available. I am willing to recover and foam if need be. I just need a good pan.

If you're willing to wait, I have a seat that can be "donated" to a resto once I receive my new cafe seat. All you need to do is pay the shipping.

I really appreciate the offer snowman, unfortunately I have already purchased one from another friendly member. I guarantee there are plenty of people here that would quickly take you up on that though. Cheers on the kindness.

No problem, good luck with the build.

I am having trouble with my front end. At between 35 adn 45 mph I notice a bounce in the front end that is worse when in a turn. The front tire is in great shape with no notciable high spots and the rim is in good shape. i have installed tapered stem bearings and rebuilt the forks. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Today I removed the fork caps and springs. Then I pumped the forks a couple dozen times to be sure there were no air bubbles in the lowere end. I believe that I will retighten the steering stem tomorrow on the off chance the bearings have settled.
