Here's my '75 Bobber.

Nice Ride!

noce looking bike ...really like those shields they really block the wind ...had one on a naked 79 bike ...like the old style motor guards too ...great look

Thank you...It's in work in progress with a list of things to do.....I changed out the sealed beam and put a fairly decent LED into the head light. Much brighter light and it's drawing 7 less amps.

:good: LED
I do query your 7amp savings though as I would hope that you were running a 55/65w headlamp which is only 5-5 1/2 amps. A 100w bulb would draw 8 amps approx but most people don't fit that high wattage bulb in motorcycles.

The LED bulb I used draws 2.9 Amps from the system.

Here are my testing results with a 12/24w LED bulb.

I am not one to name a bike, but the wife name this one for me.

Here is the Rust Bucket

My 1987 GL1200 Interstate

That's the shiniest rust bucket I've seen yet!

Looks real nice Brian!

When I bring something home, I'm more likely to get a new nickname than the object.

Whenever people ask the name of my bike, I usually just tell them "Goldwing". :hihihi:

But after riding the '81 1100 Standard around, I decided to name the '81 "Peppy" and the '82 is now know as "The Slug". :smilie_happy:

Good looking Rust Bucket, Brian

After uploading the picture of the 87, I realized that the picture of my 81 1100 hasn't been updated since it's metamorphosis to an 81 1200, so here is a picture of my 81 1200 in it's current state.

Very nice Brian. :good:

 

[mcgovern61]

I suppose I should of added the '81 Standard way back when! Now I just need help deciding if it should be with the windshield and aftermarket items or just the OEM Standard?

 

[slabghost]

Personally I like it better with the aftermarket stuff. Sellers sometimes go way overboard on aftermarket junk to the point of making their bikes unattractive.The first pic looks great to me.

 

[chilidawg]

I dunno, that second pic bought memories of my blue 82 in 84 flooding back.

That reads like someone is giving in to MBS!!!!

You know the old saying, "If you can't sell it.....ride?" (Maybe it isn't such an old saying.......) :hihihi:

As long as I still have the bike, I am going to keep riding it. Right now, it is taking the place of the Slug while I work on the electrical upgrades.

I do ride it with the windshield and backrest so I suppose this would be the more correct picture (except it now has OEM valve covers, timing belt covers and radiator rock guard.)
