I see the taillight or the seat has been changed on that one-- which is it? It appears to be a 80-81 Special with an earlier model taillight, does it have an earlier fender as well?
quite honestly i have no clue. from what i understand my gf dad had one and said it was all original except the handle bars. but im new to these style bikes. i took off the sissy bar also that it had.
