What fork gaiters are those? The ones on my bike are already starting to crack and come apart.

Few update pics. Cut the front fender. (Cb900) now I have a shorty style I've wanted.
This is the square light I'll use.
And my fuel pump going back on
And I put on my exhaust I wrapped. She's short. And will be loud!
Also nice butt!

Re: DEATHBYPIZZA's 1980 GL1100 Project.
so i figured out how i could mount my acewell after many many frustrating attempts. where i am planning on relocating the ignition i drilled a hole into the top triple and mounted it there! looks slick!
i threw the seat on to sit on it to make sure it was straight. i also cut a cb900 fender to a shorty one i wanted, it looks great!
the tires are shinko 705s

Hi Death by Pizza
Stupid question from the untrained...is the front tire undirectional as I am used to the triangle leading so the water is sprayed away...I am looking into these tires for my 1979 Gl1000 build. Is the front tire a 130/80-19?
The bike is looking good!

1978 Goldwing modified Cafe Racer (first out for 2017 and now dirty)
1979 Gl1000 Nasty Child Build
1980 Gl1100 running around naked (presently looking at me with a disapproving look)
