It looks to me that the rim on the front is the same size as the wheel rim on the back. 2.50 x 17 maybe? Ive got a question; if the rim is the same size, did you have to get a different size spokes for the front rim to fit the rest of the front disc brakes and such? And what size were they? I want to have the same wheel rims on both the front and back of my bike (where the front is not bigger than the rear), however, I would need to have a very specific length spokes to make that change possible. What length is that, and where would I purchase them?

Thanks,

I just bought a 76 gl1000 off craigs list and am heading home this weekend to go through everything on the bike from start to finish to get it running again. It’s been sitting for 2 years and so I’ve got my work cut out for me. I’m 23 years old and this is the first motorcycle I’ve ever bought. I saw pictures of this Bulldog Bobber, and showed my dad who was totally excited. He’s owned a Honda before.

Once we get the Gold Wing back to operational, I’d really like to bob it out like this one. It looks amazing. I’ve shown this picture to other people and most everyone has the same response; “THAT’s a Gold Wing?!”. I’m excited to say that I am proud to be a Gold Wing owner and am excited to start the process this coming weekend of changing it from not running, to operational, to bobber.

I’d love to hear more from you experienced Gold Wing owners and from Lars himself about the beauties of owning a Gold Wing and any suggestions you might have for making the recovery process and bobbing process smoother. Much love for the Bulldog Bobber!

Hi folks!
I’m the guy who build it.
Thanks for all your kind words.

The seat is a modified Triumph Speed Triple seat.

The bike has since, been “slightly updated” with a
Magnacharger supercharger and a Weber carb.
It’s seriously flippin’ fast!

You can see/hear it here:

process of the build is on:

Again: thanks !
