New (to me) '82 GL1100 in NE FL

#1

Hey all, as title states just picked up an oldwing. It's already naked so no conversation needed. Paid 500$ and it pretty much needs everything (front forks, rear shocks, carbs cleaned, timing belt, brakes ECT ECT). Pretty much planning on bringing it back to it's former glory and having a comfortable cruiser. This will be the largest undertaking with a motorcycle for me and I'm excited to learn some new skills.

Welcome from Wisconsin! I'm really partial to the 1100's myself, having been through several. Check out the New2me thread in ShopTalk (there's a link to it in my signature lines) for some great info on what to look at and where to start. Also, feel free to start a build thread and post lots of pics. We LOVE pics!
