Congrats! Really nice looking job.
Whatever I suggest here should be given ample time for a moderator to delicately correct. I apologize in advance.

Dang good lookin' unit, codyjames.
To commemorate the color I spent about an hour in Goodwill lookin' for a t-shirt the same color. I love it. No luck for me & a new t-shirt, though.

What rear shocks did you use for this build, those look sweet! I wonder if there are some or similar ones that fit the 1100's :drool

1982 GL1100 (restoration project?)

You know, they are actually some pretty cheap shocks you can find on Ebay. (Probably not the best going cheap for suspension) BUT a little tweaking on the shocks and they work great!
