If you don't need the seat hinges or plunger and lock, I'd be glad to buy them from you. Possibly the seat too. And the front fender.

I would suggest clubmans, I still don't understand how they route the wiring through clipons.

Also, I think your forks might be aftermarket they seem really long. Good looking bike for $650!

'78 cb550K's and do not use internal wiring in the bars, at least mine didn't. You maybe limited on space on clip on's but they should work, plug and play. Clubman's should work too, but on my 550 they are angled down a little too much to clear the tank, and I wish I'd bought clip ons.

Yeah, the forks are aftermarket, he said he might still have em, but couldnt find em, so that needs to be added to the list also!

Those are probably clubman bars.

or Clip ons

Thanks, I might go with the clubman, the clipons are out of my price range atm.
