I bought some low bars and flipped them over. I rerouted the throttle and clutch cables and they now have a straighter run than stock so that's a plus. The only potential problem is the brake line. There is only one orientation of the handlebars that allow the brake lever and master to slide onto the handlebars fully and it places the grips at an odd angle. I would like to test drive this arrangement before Friday but I haven't got time

The bike has been de-Vettered. It is nice to ride a bike with a fairing but it does make the bike heavy and ungainly.

I had the seat from the '79 upholstered and I will use it on this bike for Port Dover. I have to do something with that trailer wiring though. The poor bike having to drag a trailer all over the place. Just buy a car already...

More ugliness has been removed; the seat, fender with tail light, bag frame with turn signals, turn down exhaust tips, passenger pegs and trailer hitch

The Samsonite bags are easily removed from the frame with a key. All three bags are the same and it is a well designed mounting system

I'm not sure what happened but I bought another Goldwing ; a '78. It has Samsonite bags and a trailer hitch. I'm going to try to get it ready for Friday the 13th in Port Dover. It's going to be tight

The T-nuts have been Bondo Haired onto the seat pan
