1980 GL1100 First Ride

Today I finally rode the 1980 GL1100 "Pig"

It was just a short ride because I still don't have the Handlebar grips installed, and it is hard for me to use the small throttle tube.






I shortened the front tubes 2 inches and the rear shocks also 2 inches.

With the solo seat I now can comfortably touch the ground.

This is my first 2 wheel Goldwing that I can ride because I am only 5' 2" tall.





The bike rode and handled as good as any I have ridden. I am happy with the final results.
