 *ha* I've been reading a while  "pictures!" seems to be a motto

and the FAQs are great, thanks kghost -

hi John - I'm in the People's Republic of Ann Arbor...  want a luggage & back rack? fits a '78 750F  ;)

I pulled the ho-made aluminum risers & *!slotted!* screws holding the bars on, put 'em back where Honda wanted them; the saddleman seat is stripped down in the basement waiting for new vinyl (new foam, or reuse?)...
but think I like it better this way regardless:
recovered the seat (lesson learned, should have bought a kit):
