I am going to adjust the location of the grips, buttons, and brake/clutch levers. I want to set them up for the best ergonomics, I had them arranged next to each other in these pictures. You dont get to use the best part of the lever when they are right next to each other. I also like a little room between the buttons and my thumb so I will separate them from the grip as well.

Looking for a good reference on a used/new fork stabilizer and a combination rectifier/regulator.

I have an old HD 5.75" headlight and mounting cover that I may use. Pics to follow shortly.

As I mentioned in earlier posts, I will be doing an aluminum paint on the false tank sides, old bomber style leather on the false tank access door, and the same leather for the seat. I want a minimalist gunfighter-style seat that will handle a second passenger (for short rides). Any suggestions for a good seat pan to start with or a good custom seat person?

So, I have been away for a while. Got tied up with carb issues, took a break from the build when the carbs beat me down (infamous idle circuit problems), and got away from posting.

Bike is done with exception of passenger pegs and exhaust mounts. I will throw some pics up to show where I am. Will get some details on the bike posted shortly. Sorry for the delay. Enjoy.

Man, was looking at buying a 1975 GL1000 today and searched for some inspiration, and just saw this post, then saw your bike on eBay. Such a beauty. Good luck!
