[QUOTE="crusierlover, post: 180188, member: 3280"] It is definitely a 78.That is clearly shown on the frame plate left front side of the frame.It does have a luggage rack.Someone had put a vetter fairing on it.Since they did not come with one.It was laying on the ground.The brackets to mount it to the bike are still on the motorcycle so they will be thrown away.The fairing shell is ok on the outside, no windshield.I hate vetter fairings, this one will also be trashed.I drove about 135 miles to get this bike.I can tell by the way things were jury rigged it was naked originally.The signals look like they were mounted on the forks originally.The headlight ears are still there thankfully.I have no headlight.The original style on ebay are $75.I want to get a modern one with easily replaceable bulbs.Plus i do not like chrome headlight buckets.I have not written down the engine number to research it.It might really be a 1000 with1100 valvecovers.I was amazed after having sat so long, and the past few months outside that the motor turned over real well.I had put rags in the carb holes and it blew them out on both sides.I figure this will take me a real long time to get the bike right.I have seen hundreds of restomod naked wings.That is my preference too.
