Introduction of myself. I own a 1983 interstate, spent all summer chasing Gremlins, put 10,000 miles on it since June, and now ready to make it mine. Don't know what or how so I'm researching for ideas.

Re: Hello from Kansas
Welcome to the club, and good luck with your project. You will find that there are as many ways to "make it yours" as there are members. Lots of ideas and inspiration here, regardless of what you plan to do. Lots of helpful folks too.

Re: Hello from Kansas
Welcome from Wisconsin! Having put 10k miles on over the summer, I'd say you've got a good start on 'making it mine.' As said above, there are lots of ideas throughout the forums. Pull up a chair and sit a spell!

Current Rides:
'Grumpy' - '81 Standard, now fully dressed.
'Layla' - '81 Standard w/dealer installed fairing and Hondaline bags.
'Scarlett' '76 'Survivor' nekkid as a j-bird!
Under Construction:
The 'Jalopy' '78-'79 Mash-up
'Quikie' '81 gl1100I back on the lift, project with the step-son!
In The Shed:
'81 gl1100I barn find aka "Josie, the farmer's daughter." (almost comatose build)
'77 gl1000, roller parts bike.
'82 gl1100I, 'Old Crusty' titled roller parts bike (free!)
'82 gl1100I, My first 'Wing, and an expensive lesson!

Re: Hello from Kansas
Welcome. Enjoy making it yours, but like was said before sounds like you've already got a great start given the miles ridden.
