    Blue 78 1000C in Texas

    SO...LOL. I made the trip to Denton and fetched that free blue C model. Its a complete bike minus the rotted tank and seat ( which i will get pics of later ) and molested mufflers. Other than that its all there. Guy told me its been outside since 97. Surprisingly twisted the throttle and carbs are free. Engines stuck but that was slated for a full rebuild anyway so no skin off my nose.

    All the hard to find parts are there..unmolested wire harness, complete airbox, great front fender, chrome on signals near perfect, you get the jest. Total gas was 35 bucks when i filled up to leave. I have named her too...introducing the DIRTY HOE.

    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

                  Not much savable from tank and seat. I can get the gas cap off and for grins take the cover off the sending unit for a peek. Seat grab rail is pretty darn good actually. I can mend the seat trim easily enough too.









                  Some OEM tools and some thrown in allen wrenches. Missing the screwdriver handle and 12 MM wrench for sure.

                      Yikes. Is that the remnants of a tank seal job I see?

                              Funky. That tank is a good garage wall art piece.

                                      Through all that...I still managed to notice the single front disc.

                                      Lots of work but hey...you got time, right?

                                          The 78 C models were wire wheels and single disc. Its correct.

                                              I have a set of mag rims and the 79 tank and tail cowl. My plan is to do her as a red Cooley clone.

                                                  Chuck, if you decide to sell the wheels give me a holler when the time comes. I might be interested.

                                                      Will do. Rims and hubs will shine up spectacularly. Buff them when you cut spokes for the new ones. Spokes now are pretty well rusted beyond saving.

                                                      NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.


                                                      I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.
