1980 NGW Bagger - Intro

#1

Post by red91sho »

Been working on a 1980 standard for a couple months. Picked it up 2 summers ago ($600) and slowly turned it into a bagger. It came with a bunch of extras not on the bike - windjammer 2, top box, and 2 shoei bags that became the reason why I went with the bagger idea.
2 more posts and I can get some pics out...
Been lurking on this site looking for ideas and have def seen some good ones! Thanks!

Nice looking wing to get your start on. Don't discount the miles since a lot of these old girls weren't ridden much by the original owners.
