I'm on a CA77 Facebook group, and I think some of those guys are members. I saw pictures there , them I got the magazine and was like, "I've SEEN these before"!

Crazy stuff.
1997 Valkyrie- Light Cutomization, but Too Busy Riding
1980 KZ1300- Bike's Haunted
1976 GL1000 (Yellow)- It Runs (Poorly) and Doesn't Leak (Mostly)
1974 Velosolex 3800- Better Than Walking
1972 CB750- Broke the Chain And Ate the Motor
1969 CT90- The Most Fun You Can Have on 90ccs.
1965 CA77 Dream- Needs a Full Teardown, but Complete

All advice I give is only valid until an expert corrects me.

...especially on an original seat...which, I notice, none of them have! Seriously, that OEM bench seat is probably a 20-miler at best. Very 'springy'...
