2004 Honda Shadow VLX (VT600CD) - first bike. Great commuter and comfy for longer rides.
1984 Honda Shadow (VT700C) - bought this one in rough shape but running (barely) so I could learn to work on bikes. Now an optional daily rider.
1975 Honda Goldwing (GL1000) - current project. First total rebuild.

Re: GL1-1001653
I dunno what else to say. I also used one of Randakk's master kits to rebuild the carbs and she's back together and fires right up and seems to run great. I'm still tweaking her carbs trying to get the synch a bit more dialed in and I want to pick up one of the Emgo sets of early GL1000 handlebars that are apparently a perfect match for the original. Plus I need to find turn signal stems for the back and I NEED to find an OEM-style seat. The King/Queen one that came with her just looks awful and tacky.

Found a seat! I also found a NOS pair of the mounting bolts for the rear turn signals and ordered one of the Emgo GL1000 replica handlebars but those last two are still in transit.

Not much deeper unless you've got a forge going. Good job!
