This is not a discussion thread and not about Superglides. I wanted it to be mainly a technical thread that I lead and if anyone wants to contribute do so but with Respect and strictly on the topic.
well now you've pissed off another of the most knowledgeable people on this forum . good luck with this thread that will be mostly you posting stuff to yourself .
1977-1979 FXS Lowrider factory seat style called Hi-Low seat as pictured below. I am working to re-produce exact heat formed seat cover to restore many torn out seats.
I'm up for one of those seat covers , if you make them send me a PM. Thanks
Here's my new to me 79 Lowrider , I paid too much but I wanted it and there hard to find, really hard to find. Pic is a mock up heads were removed 15 years ago and then the owner died I bought it few weeks ago from his brother plans are to clean it up arun it , I dig stock bikes so I will not mod this bike beyond a carb and pipes. Any thoughts on black wrinkle paint? The engine paint is shabby I need to touch it up a bit.

What carb and pipes are you running? Can you show us pic from the other side?
i know the late '78 aka 78 1/2 also came in black because that's what i had . the original photo is a bit dark if my memory is correct the actual bike was lighter than this . also if memory doesn't fail me this is the same colour as the '77 . not sure about '79 except i think there was one with the same grey with a black panel on the tank .
and biczeq do yourself a favour and don't **** off johnjzjz , he knows more about the bike you're asking about than the guys who assembled it at the factory .
post pics of what you've got and ask specific questions and you'll get better responses .
My 1979 FXEF was the same grey color when I got it
