- Former '82 GL1100 "The Slug"
Prepping my '82 for sale this spring. I have wanted to get her fully painted for quite a few years. I have performed a rattle can paint job to hold me over in the past, but not a strip, sand, prime, color and clear paint job. I have replica OEM decals and all OEM NOS emblems and want to get her looking as new as possible before selling.
