Thank you Fred. I didn't even know about this as I have been away on a short vacation and just got back. It is an honor and I appreciate it.

A question. I notice that your bikes do not have chrome heat shields on the down pipes. I notice the same thing on many other beautiful restorations. Were these standard on new GL1000's? And, if so, why are people leaving them off?

Since the crome shields are down low in the stone splash behind the front tire, good ones are hard ro find.
