Hey guys. Picked up a somewhat ugly GK that runs like a rabid dog for a great price. I'm gonna be de-kaying it over the next couple weeks. Main centerpiece is a Harley Daymaker style 7" that's going on the forks. I also have a weird trailer hitch attachment that I need to remove/cutoff. Anyway, hi everyone!

Hey there. Sounds like you have a plan. Good luck. The GK is a bike I've wanted for some time. I just like the touring stuff it has though. Apparently they have a lot more zip than the 850. Maybe someday I'll find out for myself.
Anyway, glad you joined. Have fun.Roger

Hey if you want the front fairing or the tail box, you're welcome to them!Comment

Ugly? I think it looks kinda nice... eye of the beholder etc etc etc....
Nice score either way!Comment

Thanks, I appreciate the offer. I have my 850 set up with Vetter Windjammer fairing and bags. I'm not as keen on the looks of these vs the GK stuff, but they function great. Oh, I also have a trunk that's a project for sometime in the future.Originally posted by ChunderMifflin View PostRoger

The GK fairing would take a bit of fabrication to adapt it to just about any other bike. The mounts for the fairing are welded onto the bike's frame, so the fairing simply bolts to them. With any other fairing, you have to clamp a sub-frame to the bike, then bolt the fairing to it.
