This 1979 was my third Wing build and my first GL1000. It was a bigger bike project than any I had previously taken on. The recovery was documented over eighteen months as a Wing and a Prayer project. It's a light custom with an '83 front end, '78 style signals, low sport bars, CB750 Super Sport emblems, and CB550 Super Sport Shiny Orange paint. Front and rear fenders are chopped a bit.1979 Ginger Lynn
