gl500 bobber project

So i decided to go ahead and start a thread on my gl project. I still have a lot to do but im ready to ride so its just a matter of time.. I got this bike last year for $300 from a buddy of mine.. It still had all the fairings, trunk, side bags everything pretty much. I striped it "naked" and gave it a rattle can paint job for the summer and started working on it over the winter when i had the time and it wasnt freezing outside. I cant find my before picture at the moment but i will post when i do..

Here she is thus far with new paint on the tank and the frame i just sprayed an area of it to get an idea of what it will look like..





The before pic of the engine.... It will be flat black with some blue lines throughout



Playing with some tape.. the tank & fender will end up gloss black with blue lines, and the frame will be blue


My shock replacement and huge battery box



Ill keep posting as the build continues... Im always up for any tips or suggestions

Got a bad cough? drink a bottle of laxative.. tomoro you'll be to afraid to cough!

I really dig it... the blue and black combo will look really good.  I love the lines you are tinkering with.  You have a great start... Keep us posted, I am very intrigued.
