Worst part is that mechanically, it probably needs everything.  At least the cosmetics look good!  The sulfur yellow seems to be a love/hate thing, but I'm on the love side. Would be cool to have a 76 GL1000 in the same color as a pair. :)

Good luck with the resurrection!

I never would have picked out but it's growin on me. Without a doubt it needs total rebuild but some of the original finishes are outstanding. Such as master cylinder , rear caliper

:o Oh man.  Every one of those I've ever seen has been faded out.  Mechanic's dream right there.
