Hi all. This is my 75.
The seat wasn't made right and I haven't got a front fender yet but...I am trying to find some indicators.
I actually have 4 of them but they r on another bike and I can't recall where I got them.
The stem is solid chrome with an internal thread on one end, and external on the other. In the pic , the external thread has been removed (cut off).
Any help finding these would be great.
Maybe someone has them too?
They are 72mm X 43mm.

The bike doesn’t look like a 75. (78-79 faux tank, 77 muffler?) It looks great. I hope you aren’t going to ride it with the forks up in the trees that much. It looks like it will hit the radiator or the triple tree on a mild bump. Quite a few here ride with an inch up above the trees. Some have reported more, but most have clearance issues. You don’t want to find out in a hard lean. Think about a sharp turn with a dip in the middle.
Whatever I suggest here should be given ample time for a moderator to delicately correct. I apologize in advance.

I am glad to see that others noticed the faux tank was later.... but that is one sweet looking bike

I agree that it looks killer the way it's set up. I had my '78 - which is lowered an inch all around - even lower. But, even tho u ride differently on a custom, u still need to ride. I found the cornering limitations to be far too constraining. Since I took mine beyond show and shine bike night events (into the mountains) it was not practical at that height. I raised it back up an inch. Of course, if the intent is just a boulevard cruiser, nothing beats that low look.
