Re: UPDATE! COMPLETE! Teaser Pix more to follow.
Looks really great. I remember seeing some of your stuff over on the 1100F forum, and was looking forward to seeing what you would do to a GL.
I absolutely was not disappointed!
Great work!

Re: UPDATE! Some Pictures from North Idaho rides.
Hey, how are those rear shocks working out? Did you need to refill with oil and air, or were yours good to go? You may be on to something there. The bike is looking very sweet!

Re: UPDATE! Some Pictures from North Idaho rides.
Beautiful build. Great read, very thorough.
Thanks for taking us thru the process.
The out come is something I could easily
envision on a showroom floor as a factory
limited edition reissue.
Congrats!

Beautiful bike! Very similar color to one I am considering (I have a few). I'm going to have to go back and read the build.
