Good Afternoon wingers. I have an 82 interstate that looks beautiful with all the fairings and the hondaline bags, but I have been looking at pics of naked Gl's and I think they look pretty sweet. I know there are a couple of advantages of going naked, better fuel economy, easier to handle at really low speeds. Are there anymore advantages to this?? I think I might just take front fairing off and have it half naked. Any tips or comments are highly appreciated especially from wingers that have gone naked or own a dressed and a naked.
I put a plexifairing windshield on my '82 GL along with hard bags and a trunk and loved it. The plexifairing windshield was the best windshield I have seen or used for keeping the wind off. The bike handled wonderfully set up like that. It was completely naked before.

i have a couple of GL 1000's which i have taken the large Vetter fairings off,like the look ,like the handling etc. Hate the wind,at 60 + years i want a wind screen,something more compact than the big Vetters

That's very naked in comparison to a 'Wing. But it has purpose.
I had a GL-1100 standard for a while, and that bike was a hoot and a half!! Losing the fairing and weight from the accessories really transforms the handling of the bike.
:ROFL:i have a naked '79 but it's far from running right now and an '82 interstate too. Only thing is I need to ride the '82 while i work on the '79 that being said I need to finish the work i got left on the '82/
