'75 winter project
posted this to the facebook site, so thought I'd post it here too. it's a pretty cool one owner '75 that I picked up as one of my winter projects here at the shop (also recently finished up an '83 cb1000c). did t belts, water pump, progressive front springs etc etc. the rest was just a matter of cleaning, painting the frame and swing arm and other sundry bits, and aluminum polishing. should be off the lift this week. i'll post up a shot of one of my personal bikes at some point. an '83 naked.

Mine is brown too, naked except for a clear windshield that it came with, I liked it and kept it. It has about 30 K miles on it.

Re: '75 winter project
dcardin, no the brown one is my cb1000, i was just showing kroosa the fairing on it. they use the same fairing on the gl1100 and the cb1000's. identical except mirror placement.
