Congrats! While you might not have 'customized' much, you've done some really great detail work, and the bike looks wonderful!

Re: 1981 GL1100 Standard-detailed refresh and mechanical update.
Thanks fellows it is always nice to have positive results and feedback on these hobby builds. As Whiskerfish noted there are many amazing builders and members on this site and I am happy to contribute where I can to the community.
I am just finishing up my friends 1972 CB500K1 frame with a CB550 four motor in the bike. I just finished painting the tank and side covers and that is a humbling experience. I shoot outside and my painting skills are self taught, so lots of mistakes.
Still have a few more non Wing bikes in the garage awaiting their turn.
