Howdy, From central west Michigan.
I am 59yrs and counting, and have been a motorcycle mechanic/heavy truck master certified mechanic since 1977. Recently got back in to bikes after a 24yr hiatis. Three weeks ago I bought a wrecked GL1100I that runs. Had no structural damage but the plastic was damaged. So being old school, I stripped it, and did a drop & chop. You can see photos of my 3 week build at
