It's true.  Shocks are too modern, and also needs crappy steel rearsets and Dunlop K591's to be proper 80's.

Regardless, that switchgear wiring routing is giving my OCD a tic.

The auto-parts store coils on the downtubes was a common mod long ago, wasn't it?

And then I read another thread which referred to Oregon Motorcycle Products and found the answer to my question. Apparently it is still done!

I dig that completely useless front fender. It doesn't look strong enough to count as a fork stay. Lets call it a "water separator".

that damn dipstick.  :dawg:

me on mine in 03 at deal gap. this basically evolved into the LC after i killed the motor on this trip.  :devil:
note the downtube coils. sorry, no nasa approved dipsticks for me.  :taz:



thats fla steves daytona behind me and i think tom judkins 73 behind that.

how the fuck was this 17 years ago?  :whistle:



the seat on this was a shorty one that i added the fiberglass 'nose' to on the front. was on stock mounts with a subframe under the 'glass, worked pretty well actually.  Not cushy like that 400 though.

yes, sort of...actually, you bought 1 in the pic. the other one got replaced  that 2nd day after it shorted in the rain that night before. I bought the replacement from what is now that hellbender gas station at fontana. that year it was still a repair shop, and the tech had a boat with (of all things) a  460 ford motor in it, he sold me the coil off that for like 15 bucks.  :clap:

Strategically cut the part that would keep water from spraying in their face.
