Excellent report, I'm a newbie starting my first build from a 76 non runner. Could you please give me information on how the one rider attached the panniers to his goldwing. What year bike did he order and adapt to the wing. Thanks

Sorry for the late reply postup, but which bike are you asking about? Backwoods fire bike? Purple haze 1.0? Pride ride 1.0? Or the mashup of the colorful pride ride with the purple fuzz back end?

After putting the bikes into storage, what did you do with them after that?
