A thing of beauty.........75 Wing

1000ccs and it goes 100mph??

WhooHooooo!!!!

1,000cc..and will do 90-100mph all day, smoothly and effortlessly..

Long legs and pretty smooth. Enough power at a reasonable engine speed to make it go well.

Its slower to roll than some other bikes; probably a bit longer wheel base. But that's OK with me, its kind of my speed.

The PO of mine must have been vertically challenged. Not only are the forks up in the trees about an inch, which is fine, but it has 'lowering' shocks. Blah. I'm thinking a really nice set of shocks with a piggy back reservoir and about an inch longer than stock. Any longer and the wheel will be in the ground when up on the center stand.

All that plastic on Jeep's GL... yikes.

they used to lower the forks for handling purposes back in the day..said it made it more nimble in corners.

I pushed my forks up about 3/4" and it does indeed handle quicker, and it visually levels the bike up. The front end sits a bit high to my eye in the stock position.

Agreed, it does to me too.

Even with the folks raised an inch or so its still not what you'd call a quick handling bike. I'd have to check the wheel base but it seems longish. I'm thinking an inch taller shock would be a good addition too. But it can wait until I redo the front suspension too.
