Hello everyone!

Currently working on a 1981 GL1100. Bike has cast wheels from a 1983 GL and I am in the process of stripping it down form a fairing,saddlebag,rear trunk touring bike to a low slung cruiser. I stumbled on to your Forum looking for ideas. All I can say is, Great Ideas, and excellent Forum!

Sincerely,
Dynotech
