i traded a cb750 chopper that was about half way done and a old trailer for a 77 gl1000 and rode her 283 miles home.That was my first ride over 20 miles since jan 26 1988 wen i crashed a cb450 and was ran over and drug under the tards car for 85 feet. After the first 10 big rigs and 100 cars blasted by me i calmed down and had a fun ride home now to make her look as good as she runs. ok this is what i had and the gl1000 i traded for http://www.hondachopper.yuku.com/topic/ ... close.html

Now does a lighter take away from nekidness? I seem to remember a cup holder was a heavy hit.

ah, screw cupholders, I epoxied six 1/2" neodymium magnets to the bottom of my stainless travel mug. sits nice & stable right there on top of the shelter lid.

and they're recessed enough to still utilize the foam padding on the base for coffee tables, et al...

Maybe if the lighter is mounted, say down by the seat, sort of a jockey lighter, you could remain naked. I figure mounted anywhere, cept by the the speedo would be okay.
