Here is the pic. Maybe. The ride is better then I expected. Needs a shine and a few adjustments then nothing but good

Good looking bike. 1 question if you don't mind me asking - what kind of pipes are those? I'm getting ready to start a '74 850 project and have been looking at different pipe options, but only seem to be able to come up w/ the stock options.

Looking good. That seat colour works with your bike.

Thats them, orderd through motopartsinc.com in Edmonton.
Seat color was a risk but I love it. Can barley go for a ride without someone wanting me to pull over to look at it. Any comments on the black bars? I love the black, it grows on you, but second guessed drag bars.

It's a pretty bike. I've considered black bars myself as I've had a history of getting corrosion on them. I live near the ocean. You have shwon me they could look pretty good.

Bars are really hard to see in that picture.
You probably want to go into town, and find a up to date Jap Bike store,
With a full spares department, a clean workshop, and kean young mechanics.
And ask them if theres a Grumpy Old Bloke out in the Hills, who knows how to fix Real Motorcycles.

Great looking bike...always enjoy looking at a non stock bike...adding your own touches is what putting a bike together is all about in my opinion...(once youv'e got the engineering right!)
I have an 850 1973 mk2a, but I am not happy with the big square standard back light....what is that light you have there? Can you give me details and another photo or two?

Great looking bike, I really like the contrast between the brown seat and black tank, great job of personalizing a Commando.
