Nice paint job, love your seat.
How is the comfort on this seat, does it hurt your bud???

EX A FREAKIN LINT!!!!!
Nice Job! Nothing like stock from the day. I had a green 76 900 in late 77, it came from a dealer here in Western NY.
I still remember hating stock then! And pouring paint stripper on the perfect gas tank!. Then cutting the stock pipes off, just past the mounts at the rear peg! To make it loud. Before I could afford the $149 chrome Kerker! And the $19.99 ABE bread basket air cleaner! Oh Ya', I could not get the stock air box out! So I cut it in half with a saw!
OUCH! 90% of the Old Guys on here most likely did the same.
You should have got it up a week ago. Could have nominated for a BOTM!
Looks Great!

Went thru 25 of these in 40 yrs.
I SOLD OUT! THE KAW BARN IS EMPTY.

Starts everytime!

NEVER to late for a Bike of the Month !!!!!!!!!

I would never saw out a stock air box LOL

Or run open headers

Or velocity stacks without a air cleaner

Or a fat tire that rubbed my chain

Or chopper handlebars

The list goes on Ahhh To be 16yr old, few tools , and stupid
