beautiful bike man.

That is a nice looking machine!!!  Very cool!!!   I just got a 76 super sport also. I love the cafe look and want to go the route as well,but my bike has the 5 spoke stamped aluminum wheels(compstars???) did you swap out to spoke wheels or was it already like that?   I ask because the buddy that gave me this bike has a bunch of spoke wheels i can use,but i dont know if the brake system will bolt on or not?

  Those wheel may be Fugly but have there benifits.

[Daddyman]

Those are the wheels that it had on it when I got it.  This bike came to me from a trade deal that my father made.  When we picked it up it was just like you can see it in the pic's above (yellow).  I had the bike for about two years and didn't do anything with it because I didn't have a title.  Cool thing is that I found the registration from 1991 under the seat and was able to contact the original owner!  He was really surprised to hear about his bike.  He agreed to meet me at the DMV where he lives to see if it was still in his name and it was!  Lucky he let me keep the bike and is eager for a ride on her again once its road ready.  He told me stories of the bike for about 2 hours DMV!! of course, but never mentioned changing the wheels.  He did however put on a wind jammer  which was missing when I got it along with the headlight and some other things.  He said if he wouldn't have gotten in a fight with his wife about cleaning out the garage the day someone made him an offer on it, he probably would still have it  today.   Lucky Me!!

Man,I love your rear lighting setup!! That looks great!!!   Can you get away with that tag in there?? I would get pulled over haha                    Looks good man,real good!!

[shinyribs]

Hey Daddyman    does it feel comfortable riding with those short handle bars? I picked up a set up drag bars but i am 6"3" and am afraid i wont be able to reach them? How do you like yours?

[Daddyman]

I like the bars, I'm 5' 10" and they feel great, but I like leaning forward a little.  When I ride my shadow the wind feels like it's goin to push me off the back.  But on the CB the wind doesn't it holds me up a little, I like it.  I am going to put a light on the license plate and see if I can get away with it.  

[shinyribs]

Im glad to hear that about the bars.  I'd rather have clamp ons like yours though   but i will work with what i got.    i hope the tag idea works cause it look great

[Piute]

That was my paint area,about all I could do on my own,had to be clean,Brother in-law did the engine stuff when needed or had the cash,think I was  bucking hay then,.

[Re-run]

Just to clear it up, the 75/76 F bikes came with spokes. 77/78 had the comstars.
I think the 76 A had comstars too.

[TOOLS1]

The 76-77 A's had the aluminum rims with spokes. The 78 A had the comstars.
