Motorcycle Repair: solo seat, adjustment screw, bill silver


Question
I have a 1961 CA77 that I would like to find a solo seat for it. A guy sold a remake on e-bay, but I didn't buy it. Are there any of these solo seats availabile? Also the horn on that bike isn't very loud, is there any way to make it louder?
                     Thanks!

P.S. I purchased a key for my tire pump on my Dream from you a number of years ago.

Answer
Solo seats are very rare over here in the US due to the fact that they were never really sold like that for the US market. There is more than just the seat to make it work. The whole mount system underneath needs to be there, too.
Apexcycle is the only source at this point.

The horns can be disassembled and cleaned inside. The contacts should be nice and shiny. Remove the cover and you can access the insides for service. There is a small adjustment screw with a locknut that can be adjusted to change the pitch of the horn. Otherwise, you will have to buy some aftermarket horns to make more noise...

Hope you are enjoying the 61 Dream, as the early ones are scarce now...
