Not a GL1000
I found this 1974 Honda XL350 hidden in a basement.
Had been there for 40 years.
All the lights and gauges had been removed, knobby tires and large sprockets installed for riding in the dirt.
Not much riding had been done but it had never been cleaned or maintained.
Motor out of frame restoration with powder coating frame and other pieces.
Tank bashed in.
New wheel and head stock bearings, brake shoes, etc, etc.
No timing belts to be concerned with.
Not a 10 point restoration but pretty close.

Re: Not a GL1000
It looks like your ready to go there with your GPS mount and rear carrier in place.
Where are you hiding your snow??? I know that you have some around somewhere at your place.
I really like that points cover too, I think I can almost see my reflection in it!
Great job Sandy it will look great at the April show next month!
