1976 GL1000 Resto

#1

Post by mhynze »

Well I am thinking I am going to do a stock resto on this one... Likely sell it... after I break it in, but who knows.. i tend to keep things

The only history I have on the bike is that A large military woman owned it, It was dry stored in a heated barn since 1995, it felt the sun and wind over its body for the first time in 20 years today, it kicks over, the front brakes aren't working, and looks unmodified other than the luggage rack.... which was wood on it :-D

that A large military woman owned it-----hearing that is a first as a selling point.
