78 1000c project 2..i am crazy!!!!

[DannyMotor]

Chuck,
Seriously, that seats got to go!
I've seen alot of seats, some pretty damn ugly, but that is the most hideous, monstrous looking thing I've ever seen. I am laughing so hard tears are running from my eyes. You could stuff an elephant in that thing,
just think just how much weight the bike will drop when you remove it!
You could make a whole set of luggage out of it. There must be enough seat foam in it to make 20 normal seats! It took 10 cows to make it!
You could always use it as a floatation device for whole boat load of people, put an outboard motor on it and use it as a boat!
Enter it in the Guinness Record Books as the worlds ugliest seat!

Now that that's out of the way... hahahaha.

Steve..Add an upright frontal pole and some old handlebars and ride it behind the ski boat at the lake!!! Theres an OEM pan and seat trim under all that...believe it or not!!!!!

[Redneck]

Chuck you sure you did not buy that seat off of Crazy Carlos. Last time that seat was seen was in a box on the way to a dumpster.



Just saying is all.

Sorry Chuck, I just couldn't help myself, I'm still fighting back tears.
How in the world does that seat pan support all the weight? You even got a grab rail on it, all in all it's not a total loss, seat hinges, locks, trim and a grab rail are getting harder to find these days.

Steve..I dont have a clue as to how the PO got it all stuffed on there. There was an identical one on Ebat last week listed for a 1000..saddleman seat .

Chuck, I think you need to take inventory in what you'll be needing for this project. I'll hold off sending the package I have boxed up ready to go you until you do as I might have something you'll be needing.

Dale heres a partial list of GOOD used stuff i could use. As far as tank and side cover badges go, I am gonna buy new.

Upper half of the airbox that holds the filter
Connector tube between the 2 airbox halves
Tube bands ( clamps )
Handle bar top clamp bolts
Fork wipers ( dust boots )
Headlight mounting bolts that go thru the ears to the bucket.
Plastic cover for the ignition switch

The rear master cylinder rod wont move at all, so untill i get into that and the calipers and frt masters, I wont have a good idea as to what I will need for them.

You won't like the new replacement handle bar top clamp bolts that Suzuki sells.
Better to polish what you currently have.

Connector tube between the 2 airbox halves {have in your package}
Tube bands ( clamps ) {have 1 in your package}
Handle bar top clamp bolts {should have}
The rear master cylinder rod wont move at all {I think my old one still moves}
Headlight mounting bolts that go thru the ears to the bucket. {might have}

Looks like a great project, will be following the progress of this

[chuck hahn]

Got the connectors on the wiring harness all nice and shiney and patched the rest of the scotch lock holes from whatever the PO had wried into the rear end. Used blac liquid electrical tape on all the spots. Looks a bit unsightly but at least I didnt have to cut any wires and I know they are sealed well.

Didnt get much done this week on her. I did take the calipers off and got them on the bench along with the front master cylinder. I need to get to harbor freight and get a pair of circlir pliers. Today the lion share of my time was spent on the skunk that i am gonna be keeping. Cut a muffler off a bad header and transplanted it to a nice header and welded it all back together to remake a good number 3 header and muffler.

[chuck hahn]

Havent done anything lately..kinda setting back to see what happens with the title issue..then I will get back to it.
