That belongs to Lars (aka "Octane"), a fellow from Sweden who is a pillar over on the Naked Goldwing site. That bike has gone through many iterations - and that photo appears to be an earlier one. I believe it is currently supercharged with a few other changes. It also sports a (in my opinion) gaudy "Gigante" script on the shelter covers these days.
He hasn't been active over there lately. Word is that he's busy prepping "things" for runs on The Salt.
<EDIT:> Aw shucks...
That picture was taken when I was still building it. Tires were replaced before she hit the pavement. I'm not that stupid.desertrefugee":2288xgrh said:I'm all for the rat bike/dirt look. To each his own. But, I would think they all have one thing in common.
They need decent rubber.

I like the look of yours. That shield is cool.[url=https://www.classicgoldwings.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=180165#p180165:5fz796d7 said:MobtownMatt » Today, 7:46 pm[/url]":5fz796d7]

Just paint it! It's not like you'll be looking through it anyway...or very often anyway. I almost never look through mine.
The haze is on both sides. Even if I didn't like the tinted look, you still see the haze on the outside.brianinpa":132mclp0 said:[url=https://classicgoldwings.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=180203#p180203:132mclp0 said:desertrefugee » Fri Sep 09, 2016 9:38 am[/url]":132mclp0]

That was my thought as well. Paint it from the inside and it will take a different shade than painting it from the outside.
