With winter getting close I have the GL back on the lift after a 700 mile break-in period. Going to finish it up with new tires, fork seals and polishing the fork legs.

YEAH !  8)
The bike is looking good Johnie.

I purchased the Bridgestone as I liked them on the other GW I sold. Thanks for the tire recommendations.
