Cincinnati area LD. Figured I would post it up. Doesn't compare to some of the beauties I have seen on here, but she is a great, quick around the town scoot.

Guys/Gals,

There are some outstanding bikes here. Super nice stock bikes and creative customs.
 
OK, back in post #7, I showed my wife's GL and my son's GL. Now it's time to show my GL.

Yeah, the GL on mine comes at the front of the model, but it's still there. :p

thats a fine 850gl i have the same bike, year and every thing. wish mine looked that good. repainting her now. can i have your left hand controls. :D when i hget her all done ill post pics.
 
I really like it actually. I did it mainly because I painted the exhaust and didn't want to worry about it peeling off the headers. I shouldn't but I did it just in case. Also I think it look's awesome.

$350. Probably twice that in parts just to make it tuned and reliable.

Why are the handlebars uncomfortable? I'm new to riding and haven't been able to get mine running yet, but I imagined that the tall handlebars would be far more comfortable for distance riding.

The position is OK if you're sitting up behind a fairing or not going very fast, but the angle forces your wrist into an uncomfortable position to operate the controls. At highway speed without a big fairing, you'll want to have a forward lean. I find Daytona bars or lower to be about right for that.

+1 on this. the angle on those bars hurt my wrists and at highway speed with no fairing i was blown all around. On cruisers they work better because of the lower sitting position I think. I put superbike bars on mine and I really like them. I can sit fairly upright around town, and I can lean in when I'm on the highway. On bikebandit.com you can get just about any style you want for about 20-30 bucks.

He wasn't riding, just wanted to sit on it. I'm too afraid to even take him around the block. ;)

Loving my bike <3

Pretty bikes and pretty girls are the best! Your boy will love riding with you. My six year old's legs got long enough to touch the pegs and he worked to be able to put all his gear on all by himself. He was so excited when I was finally able to pick him up from school on my bike. My 4 year old is chomping at the bit, their mom is always terrified but she likes to ride too so can't argue.

Here is my other one:

Bars have been switched on both to the "1000G" bars. Buckhorns are tucked away for the purists.


Yes I do ride it and it does get dirty.
