Re: Dark GreenWing 1977
Congrats! Really nice looking job.
Whatever I suggest here should be given ample time for a moderator to delicately correct. I apologize in advance.

Re: Dark GreenWing 1977
Thank you everyone! Again, this was such a fun build, I learned so much about this bike and all of its meticulous parts. I am proud to be a NGW member and honored to be April's BOTM.

Re: Dark GreenWing 1977
Dang good lookin' unit, codyjames.
To commemorate the color I spent about an hour in Goodwill lookin' for a t-shirt the same color. I love it. No luck for me & a new t-shirt, though.

Re: Dark GreenWing 1977
VERY similar to what I'm doing with mine, at least for the color. I like how it turned out for you!

Re: Dark GreenWing 1977
What rear shocks did you use for this build, those look sweet! I wonder if there are some or similar ones that fit the 1100's

Re: Dark GreenWing 1977
You know, they are actually some pretty cheap shocks you can find on Ebay. (Probably not the best going cheap for suspension) BUT a little tweaking on the shocks and they work great!
