Nice.
A few old GL's around here for sale cheap. I actually know a mechanic who specializes in these old naked goldwings.
Thought about cafeing them before, but it didn't seem right, cause they'll never handle well. But this Bobber/Flat tracker look really sets the bike off.
I like it.

Man I like that. Great looking bike. Ya yo gotta wonder how the thing will handle ??

The motor on that thing looks bigger than the motor in Tim's Honda Civic!!

how do they handle? i can tell you this, when i was riding the tail of the dragon last summer there was a club there of wings, some of those guys where laying them over and scraping bags! most of them knew how to handle their rides better than most of the young bloods on better equiped bikes. that thing could be a exellent urban stop lamp blaster

honda gold wing is what bmw was working on, the first prototype gold wing had a bmw transmission in it! bmw gave up on a 4 cylinder when honda came out with the wing. wings almost make some of the best rat bikes!

BTW - here's the rest of the pics. This is just one awesome machine.

it is the first time i have seen one of those tail gunner exhaust on something, have to say as cheez as it is it does fit with this unit. alot of detail has gone into that, it may not be for me, i can say i do like what the artist did on the canvas.
