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.

It's an '83 with the rear replaced. Top hints the front rim and oh yeah those little side covers. Only the 82 and 83 had them and it ain't black('82) imho.

Okay, just saw the lower side covers. One of mine is an '83 as well but I still have stock rear fender, grab bar and taillight. Your's has a much leaner/lighter look.

I had pictures up in the last XSOTM contest, but never put any here, and I just found this one which I though was pretty cool:

Thanks gggGary and deadchef, I've been working on it for quite a long time. But the seat is custom made of a piece of (3mm) sheet metal I had and a seat tailor had I stitched up for me. I attached the seat by using one of the old stock hinges. If you want I could send you some pics of the seat? / dave, Sweden.

Gorgeous paint job on the tins and the black on the block looks sweet. Is it power coated?
