Re: GL 1200
Always nice to bring these old machines back to life; & some times surpass original designes.
Have a 84 standard with stock shocks, question;
Will progressive springs, & dampers fit?
shocks use same progressive seal kits to rebuild both; springs are available, don't know about dampers. But if both will fit with seal kit, would be a big improvement,& cost effective.

Re: GL 1200
I'm going to have to post for Miro. He's been busy with a 750f he just bought. He was out for a trial run yesterday morning, it sounded good. I think I saw him in the evening too. Probably still on the test ride. Come on Miro, back to the 1200. He has good plans for it.
Whatever I suggest here should be given ample time for a moderator to delicately correct. I apologize in advance.

Re: GL 1200
Miro I'm REALLY digging the way your tail piece is shaping up - I like how much of the rear tyre is exposed, going to look really good
