Re: New bike 1977 GL changing up a few things
Road to work today and lost my keys, and thanks to this forum was able to hot wire the bike and get it home, by the way hot wiring on this bike is very easy.
Thanks again for the help guys.

Crash last year was not hurt too bad, dented the tank cover, smashed the tach, broke off the master cylinder one turn signal and one mirror. Putting all back together, the wife says to sale.

Going to look nice.
Whatever I suggest here should be given ample time for a moderator to delicately correct. I apologize in advance.

Repainted the sides again to change the stripes. This time I have a few clouds in the clear but it's staying that way.

The mirrors look like they have a lot of positional adjustment.
