Who built this one? GL custom in Oklahoma
I keep an eye on the custom builds on here, but if this one has a build thread I must have missed it. Lots o' rake and a single leaf spring rear suspension:

Re: Who built this one? CL custom in Oklahoma
Yes, the leaf spring seems familiar but don't think it was on this bike. But this is very original.
Bikes at present:
83 XL 600r with a 2004 XR650L engine
And a slightly worse for the wear BMW GS adventure bike awaiting repair
83 GL in process

Re: Who built this one? GL custom in Oklahoma
that is certainly an interesting way to strap a bike down on a trailer.

You are correct and thanks! The other Goldwings here out-voted me on this bike.Track T 2411 wrote:I take it this bike is on the way to your home? We want lots more pics! Congrats!
This is likely going to be a long-term project. Should be fun!

I agree. If that was delivered by a transport company I would not be pleased with the way that was tied down.dontwantapickle wrote:that is certainly an interesting way to strap a bike down on a trailer.

Re: Who built this one? GL custom in Oklahoma
that and how they ran the straps over it. especially the one over the front tire. I'd be surprised if it didn't bend the rim.RAT wrote:Side stand down ?
