Yea, most of the people on this site are afraid of anything that's not original. If you wanna see some cool GL's and talk to some even cooler people, go to www.nakedgoldwings.com

Must have been posted right after I joined. Sorry I missed this one. It must be a blast to ride. I bet it has a lot of get-up-and-go. Nice job.

Its nice to see an old wing transformed into something that is cool to look at, and ridiable once again. Great job and all done on a low budget.

Never thought I'd see apes on a wing! Nice bike to ride and the price is definately right! Good job.

Looks fantastic. Hard to believe something Steve McQueen COOL can be had for $400.00. I bet your friend is kicking his a_s because of it.

Nice project, though drag bars would look better than the ape hangers IMHO.
