    Finished?

    Bought the cover from LYseat on eBay for 59.95, and then took it to a local upholstery shop that had been recommended, with the seat pan that was on the bike, and thats what came back. The seat on the bike had one of those saddle humps like some of the later bikes so it may not have been...

    Finished?

    I posted to sell because I was moving from Florida to Washington. At the time it seemed like the thing to do if I could find someone interested. Too much work for the only one who showed up. Anyway, glad I kept it. The Harley is gone, but this may be a keeper. The tank was just a surprise. I...

    "somebody help me"

    I appreciate it but I suspect I can manage. Just needed to know, especially the plug under the tank. If that doesn't need a home then me and my little meter should be able to sort this out. The ignition key was not where it should be ion a '75, and a lot of stuff was not on the bike when I got...

    "somebody help me"

    OK, I don't have a matching plug on the instruments, so I can work that out. Not much left to do but put in gas and a battery.
