The seat is a standard E1 seat that was recovered at a local shop. No foam cutting was done. It is probably one if not the most comfortable seat that I have ever sat upon on any bike.
That's a cut down stocker. Just sand blasted the chrome off to mostly the base then removed about 4" off each end. Shot it with etching primer then painted. It does about as well as the stock one did in keeping the engine clean. Hint: use a sticky back disc sander sanding disc to make the radius for your cut with a cutoff wheel hand tool, makes the perfect radius and gives you a line to follow. Hit it against a belt sander to clean the edges up and your ready to start the paint process.
i had the same bike- rode so smooth ,and the carbs are great- they are the only ones with a accelerator pump on the carbs im pretty sure- man those are good carbs, just dial them in right no sputters hesitation ect...
I got the same bike but dirty and rust, but I love it. Next video put the speedometer in the camera with fresh batteries.

Thats weird you have the 1980 E-2 side covers. The 79 E-1 has St Shaft on the side covers. Hmmmm

Good eye! My ST emblems were in bad shape so I used a set off an '80 I had in the shop.
