[QUOTE="westgl, post: 47562, member: 2025"] I have a 99' GL1500SE that I would like to build it into a Naked bike. I would like to Maybe put a short to medium height, Memphis slim windshield on it as these can be removed in less than 20 seconds without any tools. I could go from fully protected (windshield installed) to Naked (windshield removed) in less than 20 seconds without tools. Here is a pic of my 99'SE it has 45K Miles and runs & handles Great I have gone through it rebuilt forks and put progressive springs & synthetic fork oil, I would go with Progressive coil over Rear Shocks on a naked, & I replaced Brake pads as front forks were leaking when i bought the bike and had ruined the pads. I would hope to drop about 150-Lbs to 200-Lbs as this would make a GL1500 more interesting to ride. to me the stereo's on the 1500 are Crap, I dont need it. I would like to get it light lean and mean. Every part of a bike responds better to LESS Weight, ie: Brake's, Handling, Suspension, Goals: 1. Light, 2. Low (weight), 3. Narrow, 4. short Stainless Steel Brake Lines would be nice on this project as well. [/QUOTE]
