its a 1979

[TheCafeKid]

Ahh, well its got NOT 79 forks and wheels on it then. Still, essentially the same. Only thing that tipped me off that it wasnt a 77 was the rear master cylinder.

[TheCafeKid]

Well, do yourself a favour and DONT cut the rear of the frame. Made for a bitch in finding a premade seat for it
I ended up having to make my own

ANYTHING will pretty much work, as long as its designed for the big fours. your width at front will need to be about 8 inches, and widen out to at least 10 if i recall correctly. I did all this over the winter last year. The problem you are going to have now is that the seat you're looking at there is 28" long. You cut your frame, so you've lost all the support back there for it, unless you weld some struts up or something, Or you could attempt to cut that seat down in front. But then it might be too wide. This is why i ended up making my own, so i had it fit EXACTLY.

Here is an EXCELLENT place to visit for this stuff if you'd like a different kind of seat, rather than the old bump stop cafe type thats been done to death.
