I notice you have a 78 1000, I'm not a big fan of those controls either, I like the slightly newer 82 and up, I have your gauges with some flatter bars, the 82 L controls and more modern mirrors.

I actually like the looks of those bags, and if you bobber your bike, you might not want to hardtail it, unless you've rode a lot of hardtails and don't mind the lack of suspension, otherwise you might regret it. Good luck with your build.

Thanks Man. I put alot of work into this bike. Bought it last year from a old farmer that just keeped it in his barn for years. I had to do alot including a paint job, carb rebuild and all. Had to weld a plate for the new saddle bags I bought to the frame. the bags are Just throw overs But I mad it work. This bike run so smooth in the end. problem now is I bought mac pipes (4-into 1) and having problems installing. But will figure it out

wow thanks! i will start searchin for some of those, as they are close enough they may just plug right in. and i need a new throttle as mine is missing the second cable, so i got one and opened it up and saw that it doesnt seem that i can hook the second pull back up correctly it may be broken, and my clutch perch has a stripped mounting hole and i dont feel like drilling out and installing a longer bolt with nut. rather have a nice one. and ty for the picture :clap: i have been going through this thread for hours ...I notice you have a 78 1000, I'm not a big fan of those controls either, I like the slightly newer 82 and up, I have your gauges with some flatter bars, the 82 L controls and more modern mirrors.

Hmmmm... this is the best I have... custom dash with my Acewell gauge:
And the best shot I have of my 'bars and controls after installing the Acewell but before making the dash. Right control is stock, left control is off a later GSXR600 from memory which gives me the choke lever there. 'Bars are medium braced motorcross 'bars and I love 'em.
I also have hand guards on there and have since replaced those horrid cheap rubber grips with old style foam ones which I find much better on the hands.

Wow. Thanks a lot. You have don't a great job there. I really wanted to get bars just like that and was thinking the same thing for the choke lever there!! Seen some of those years on eBay. Great. Do you have a build thread for your dash and guage? What brand bars do you have exactly? And model?

Ebay has thousands of them, most quads/atvs use them, I think they look appropriate on a scrambler or enduro style bike, but look a little out of place on most street bikes. Looks great on Pete's bike, especially with the hand guards.

Thanks mate, I love how neutral they feel! Come to hand very easily and haven't given me any grief. I am however starting to think about trying some 'bar end weights as they may be a little more vibey due to the lower weight of the alloy vs. the stock steel.
The Acewell install and dash build are hidden in my rebuild thread... which is a little long
Start at post #2177 where I make the speed sensor bracket and go from there. Post #2217 is where I start making the dash.The 'bars are "Bike It" brand and they were listed as "Medium Braced" 'bars, and I got them locally at an after market dealer that I've had good experience with.
