Re: GL1000 75 from France
And talking about colors and seeing you own a Z, here is one of my past paint job (and handling mods) on a previous bike of mine, with unusual color (the high beams are not my fact, from an owner after me . . . )

Funny about color. You like bikes with blue. For me, it's a yellow thing. Following your progress with interest!

Re: GL1000 75 from France
Some news, about 200 miles done, first gas consumations are 29 mpg on secondary roads and 26 mpg on freeway (at 85mph) and traffic jams in Lyon. Engine didn't overheated but it was hot and the idle was hard to keep when the fan came in action. I uped a little the idle screw and added 1/4 turn on the mixture screw on each carb, to be tested !

Interested in seeing how that will fit. My luggage rack is ugly as sin.

Very nice. Amazing how much better these old machines feel when they get new "legs".
