Thanks. I've been in the hunt for a vintage looking enduro knobby. I also have a 79 xs that should be back up and running in a few weeks. I hope everything else is ironed out in time for bikes on Meridian. Did you upholster your own seat?
Yes, those tires are almost identical to the old Dunlop trials universal that came on most of the old enduros. I did upholster the seat, but it was just a cover from Pit Replica, so not much to it. It is from a '72-'73 Kawasaki G5. One neat thing about that seat, I bought it from Rik Smits at his Boone County swap meet.
Great job!
ReplyDeleteWhat tire manufacturer are you running?
ReplyDeleteThanks OldMotoDude and ichiban! Jonathan, the tires are Shinko SR241 in 4.00-18 rear and 3.50-19 front.
