High all. New to the forum but not new to bikes. Been on twos as long as I can remember. It's been a while since I've had a GW. I've owned two in the past. A 97 Aspencade and a naked GL1000 I built into a cafe. I scored a really good deal recently on a GL1100 1983. I will be making it a naked Wing for sure. Granted I do want to keep the saddle bags. I've already pulled the fairing off. And currently looking for a headlight bucket I like.

I'm still working on disassembling the lil bits. I plan on going through the whole thing. Timing belts, valve adjustments, coolant, plugs, and carb rebuild just for starters.
