Well deserved BOTM - fine attention to detail!
Goldwings don't accelerate, they gain inertia.
1978 GL1000 - almost stock - needs a head replaced, parts are ready to install!
1979 GL1000 - Winter project/parts bike - custom "Busted"
1983 GL1100 Standard- raised from the dead and back to organ donor status
And the newest acquisition, 1979 XS 650F to be a sidecar tug.

Re: 1976 GL1000 with LTD wheels- year long project
Thank you all for the positive comments and as of today it is officially legal and licensed for the road. It has been a wet spring so far and another rainy day here, yet tomorrow is supposed to be sunny.
I have the licence plate on it and I am ready for an initial ride and test run. The bike seems to be running well with a few tweaks still needed on the dynamic timing check and a final carb sync. I think I will put a few hundred miles on it first and recheck these items after that break in period.
Bring on the sun... I can dress for the cooler temps!
