Hey there, folks! Just picked up a '78 Special last night. Had to drive about 120 miles to pick it up and then I rode it back home around midnight. It's hasn't been restored or anything, but it looks pretty clean! Runs pretty good, too. I had no issues on the ride home at all. Aside from running out of gas..But, yeah. hahah
My plans are to mod it into a cafe. I love the simple and clean style, so that's where I'm headed.
The first things that I'll do is probably just throw on some clubmans, change the seat, and possibly figure out how to make some rear sets. I'll end up probably just buying them, since I'm not a very good fabricator..
I don't know much about these bikes, YET, but I'm planning on learning as much as I can!
First things, first, though..I need to take a few pictures soon! And I need to do some basic maintenance to make sure she's in tip-top shape!
I'll definitely update this post later once I get some pictures. Hopefully it won't be too dark after I get off work!
