Very nice JVA, very nice! Happy Rider, huh?

its lovely I am so much happier just having the power to do what i want too and i have notice i slowed the heck down with that... now i am a cruiser, even the guys i normally ride with are like well u are riding a lot slower than before it looked painful before always tucked and crouched trying to get the bike to go somewhere.. That is just cause i didn't like the deceleration on a hill so id ride faster on the way to it so that i had momentum with minimal deceleration. Lets just say that the gz wasn't for me as far as getting somewhere but as far as a daily commuter id still be riding it if i could afford insurance on both!

One word "WOW". That is something I would never have tackled. You are to be congratulated on your efforts and a successful end to a long labor intensive project. You definitely put new life into an old bike. :2tup: :2tup:

if you look in the album labeled 1976 gl1000 u will see my next project its a really really hard project Even i have to give it a rating of 9 outta 10 wrenches!

That would be the one in the trees ?? Oh my.

Indeed it is from what i have been told its been there un touched for 17 years and hasn't ran in almost 30... hence 9 of 10 wrenches

I can't remember ever being that ambitious. Maybe in a previous lifetime but not this one. Do you plan on doing it up in the original naked bike appearance?
