 A naked 1981 GL500, story here.
 A 1982 GL500 Interstate assembled from several parts bikes. The frame and many parts are from the original GL500I that I purchased new in 1982.
 A 1983 GL650 Interstate purchased in 2004. It needed some work but after a light restoration it's not too hard on the eyes.

Before (but after getting rid of all the surface rust and scrubbing...):

And after:

This week I'll have my new rear fender, tail light, and blinkers. I'll have to repost because it'll look a lot different....
If it wasn't for physics and law enforcement, I'd be unstoppable.....

 Not much to see ripped up seat, mess of cut wires, no side pannels, and mud.
 New carbs, forks, exhaust, mirrors, handle bars, headlight, marker lights, grips, gas tank, side panels, sissy bar, rear fender/ tail light, seat, master cylinder, speedometer, tach, front and rear rims, and left control switch.
A lot better but never finished.
 This is my brothers bike that I painted for him. I do a lot of work on it. And it gets a lot of my second hand parts.

Bear, I like the bike, but I think it's too busy for me. Maybe you should strip it down a lil more.

Johnathan, it looks as though our bikes will end up looking very similar in the end . I really dig the whitewall tires, and I put a visor on my headlight yesterday! I like how you shined up your paint a little as well. My fenders will be here at the end of the week. I can't wait....
