1985 GL1200 Limited, time for a new project.
Starting with this, 1985 GL1200 Limited. Has 37,000 miles on it. I bought it just for the engine that went out on my last build, but I liked the 1200 frame better than the 1100 frame I had used before.

Haven’t been many build threads this summer. Looks interesting. Keeping the EFI?
Whatever I suggest here should be given ample time for a moderator to delicately correct. I apologize in advance.
