Interesting, fitted with RZ350 forks.  I wonder how he fit them in the triple clamps?

Why would you replace the 78 seat with that?

My thought too. The best part of a '78 and what makes a '78 a '78 is gone. At least it's still Crystal Silver.

It has Daytona front brakes, so I'm gonna assume it has Daytona triple clamps.

Aren't those Daytona wheels?

And the paint is in great shape for 40+ years old.

Those aren't Daytona brakes. It has RZ350 calipers and RD400C/D/E rotors.

My thought as well.  The distinctive seat is an important part of having a '78.

I do have a spare 400e seat and a brand new seat cowl, so it seemed like a great deal to me!
