My hope is to get this one done in the spring. No heat in the shed makes things go a lot slower in the frozen tundra. My buddy does great photography, so no doubt we will have some great pictures of this bike, and mine.

Fixed up a mount for the new gauge…didn’t turn out to bad. Now that it is done, it can go off to get powder coated.

I like it but you headlight also needs work LOL. Nice fab work on the mount, as it integrates well.

Hahaha...Yes, headlight does need a little work. Was fun getting the old gauge off in one piece. I figured I would be back in there, so no point putting it back together only to take it apart again.
I figured this mount might be an easy way to integrate it, without looking like I was trying to make one from scratch.

Not sure when I will get them all hung, but they will get there. Moving isn’t fun.

Re: kick-stand too short. My 77 project bike leans way over too. I don't feel good about it. Nor do I understand why one GL1000 leans over more than another. The kick-stands are identical and the tire sizes are identical. Who knows?

Those panels look great in the sunlight. Wow, she is going to turn heads.
My 1977 BADDOG with a 16 inch Lester on back also leaned to far to the left. I put on a CB750 stand and now it is leaning just right.

Some very poor lighting, but got an idea of what this will look like.

The air cleaners are changing, but not pictured as of yet.
