Newbie Question

#1

Post by Pappy »

Hey All,

Love what I see so far. I have been tossing around the idea of stripping down and "bobbing" (sort of) or converting to "cruiser" (similar to the awesome Wicked Wing) one of the bigger GLs (like an 1800). I was wondering if anyone had tried this, what results, what limitations, etcetera. I know the frame is strange-looking but I imagine some of it can be modified.

I hope there is encouraging news for me out there...

Thanks.

Hi and welcome to our message boards Pappy

The only ones I have seen... :)

There is a potential to customize this bike and build a naked
bike around that powerful six-cylinder engine.
