Re: GL1000 75 from France
Thanks for your compliments. I tried to follow the curves of the saddle, to have a solid handle when using center stand, and to be able to carry a big bag.
And fitted on the bike. I'm happy it is finished, I spend my time in my workshop instead of riding . . .

Re: GL1000 75 from France
250 kms today, all is fine, except engine sometimes dying at idle when very hot . . . I have to explore it (air idle jet smaller, check there is no air leak at the intake, . . . ). perhaps I'll purchase a colortune to check the idle combustion (lean ?)

Re: GL1000 75 from France
Great photos!
I'm glad it's going well for you.
I like to see your old wing sitting there with all the plastic bikes around it. Great to see the Goldwing being a true classic.
