Hey all,
I just bought a very clean 1981 Special from an old guy who had it in his garage for 12 years. It started right up and looks like it will clean up great.! So far, just a new battery, plugs, oil, etc. The vacuum petcock is junk, so I'm replacing it with the non-vacuum style. The seat needs to be replaced or recovered. If anyone has a good seat that will fit, please let me know and we'll work something out. Has anyone tried one of those Saddleman seat covers I see on EBay? I've seen them for about $60, but I wonder how well they actually fit.
Thanks
Joe
