Welcome Bryan, an introduction would be good on the Welcome page and then keep us updated on this thread as you find ways to improve a 50 year old motorcycle.

Re: My 1983 Gl1100
Hey, Fred! That bike is only 40 years old.
I'm sure it's as reliable and fun to ride as many 30 year old bikes - because 40 is the new 30.
Interesting location for the front signals. And I'd like to know how you routed the clutch cable with those bars. Did you go with something shorter, take on a hydraulic clutch conversion, or snake things through some place that's not so obvious in the photo?
