Sporting Style Wing

[Gregg]

I saw a couple of bikes on the site that have a "sport tour-y" look to them. One was a black 78, Corbin seat, low handlebars, built by "Tom", I think.

I'm thinking of going a similar route - bit by bit making it sportier (using that term loosely of course) -- perhaps Corbin seat, low bars, Progressives front and rear, Dyna ignition, and suitable rubber. Longer term, tossing around ideas of rear sets, larger front forks and triple trees, more modern brakes and if adventurous, engine work.

Any info on this bike and its mods? What kind of handlebars? How much was the bike dropped on the front forks (looks about a half inch)? Suspension mods? Engine mods?

Hello and welcome aboard Gregg, I hope you like your stay with us.

Did you mean the GL above?

That's the one!

I would have done that, but I haven't mastered the posting of pics ...

Totally sweet. If I had a few hockey socks full of money, I'd do the same, but add on a TWM Induction EFI system.
