Well, the bike will be coming home within the next week or so, so I figured I should begin documenting my restoration/rebuild. It's allegedly a GL1200I (not sure though), and it has been sitting outside for quite some time. I fiddle with it occasionally at the shop it currently sits at, so I've begun building a list of things needed. . .
As it sits now:
Things needed to be bought:
Clutch Master Cylinder Reservoir/Choke Lever Assembly (Left hand control cluster replacement, possibly)
Tires
Brakes
Oil and Filter
New Bulbs and/or fixtures
Chilton/Haynes Manual for offline perusal
Other suggestions?
Possible options during rebuild/restore:
New cables and lines from a local industrial supplier (We use this company for our custom bikes)
New assorted control panels for inner fairing
To be done in time:
Full engine tear-down and rebuild
Full repaint of all panels, boxes, and fairings
Powder-coating/Plating all rusted chrome components
I would greatly appreciate any input or suggestions you all will have. I feel this poor bike deserves to be put back on the road again.

As you can see, she's fairly complete. . .
