Has been a bit cold in the garage again to get much more done on the bike, but figured I’d post a few more pics to keep people interested. The seat is still just resting on the bike, not mounted yet.

Got a bit done on the bike this morning....
Switched out the shocks as the bushings finally showed up, got the front fork back to approximately stock location, and mounted the Kerker 4-1 header. Gotta change the plugs and do an oil change next, and hopefully find a decent muffler to run on the...
Scott, I do still have the stock seat pan and seat cover that the previous owner gave me in a box of parts he had taken off the bike. There is no stock foam as that is what the previous owner trimmed down and covered with a t-shirt... which I couldn't get off the bike quick enough haha.
My seat arrived today. After setting it on the bike, I’m wondering if brown was a bad choice and I should have gone with black? I do intend to paint the tank, so maybe a colour that compliments the brown seat will fix that. Thoughts/suggestions?

Thanks for the feedback and suggestions Teazer!
What do you think of something like these for the tail lights? They could be mounted to the plate that is already on the bike, and the plate could be formed a bit to follow the contour of the lights. (Obviously remove the lights from the plate...
My shocks arrived... but they are missing the bushings >:( so I am currently waiting for those to arrive so I can install them. The seat should be here soon, and over the weekend I also pulled the trigger on a NOS Kerker 4-1 header. It does not come with a muffler, so I have been doing a bit...
Sure is quiet in here... but may as well update!
My new rear shocks got here today, also have a seat in the works which will help get this bike going in the right direction.
Trying to decide on signal light and tail light styles to get those replaced ASAP as well. Hoping to also replace the...

Here’s a few more pictures of the Merc!

Thanks for stopping by to check out my build! I have been browsing around here for a few weeks now, and couldn't wait to start my own build thread!
After 10 years on and off of owning bikes of various styles, makes, and models of bikes I have come to one common conclusion... not having a...
Thanks Cookie! That is my 1928 Model A in the background there. She’s running an all ford power train... 351 Windsor, C4 transmission, and ford 9” rear end, 4” drop axle w/ hairpins, bias ply wide whites, and a blast to drive!

Just picked myself up a ‘79 Suzuki GS750, and having a great time already! Have been doing as much image searching and research as possible to get a good solid plan before jumping into action. The previous owner had started doing a bit of work to the bike, like stripping it down a bit, adding a...
Nice! I just picked up a '79 of my own and planning out where I want to start on it. I'll be posting it in the introduction area shortly, but wanted to ask what rear shocks you have on the bike, and the eye to eye length if you don't mind me asking?
