Hi, all. I'm coming to you as an ignorant noob, hat in hand, with my first motorcycle and a ton of capacity for learning (aka, I don't know anything).
I bought my 750 from an old coworker who told me it was a 1989. I'm not mad about that (it's very cheap and it runs) but it did lead to a few wild goose chases.
Anyway, he delivered the bike with the seat and rear fender assembly off because, he said, I would want to replace the low riding shocks it had with the stock shocks. That part was no problem. He gave me a literal bucket of parts along with the bike and went on his merry way.
Unfortunately, the bucket of parts, which includes the fender and some body bits (farings?), did not contain any of the nuts and bolts to actually put it together. I've tried looking at online schematics of the assembly to see what I need but I'm lost and most of the bits I'm missing seem to be out of stock everywhere. Since I have NONE of the nuts and bolts I can't even take some to a hardware store and sift through their bins to find matching ones. Knowing where to get a replacement seat and the stuff for mounting that would be good, too. If I need a more specific model number, I need some guidance on figuring that out as well. Thanks to coronavirus, my buddy is unable to get the title out of the bank to send to me yet if it would be on there.
Can someone please take me by the virtual hand and point me to how to get this stuff?
