Customization Plans:
Get frame shot blasted and repaint
Shorten tail and take of ridges of mudguards and shape the front one at front and rear.
Fit straighter handle bars - have found a few we like so far.
Sort out lights - they are all massive! Probably end up making LED units like I have for my Classic Mini.
Paint - few ideas, latest one being a land rover metallic green (looks almost like BRG) with possibly OEW or a beige.
Find and fit wire wheels
Other things:
Rebuild carbs
Clean engine block
Rebuild Brakes
Sort Electrics

Hmm nice light flat 4 and flat 6 engines do Goldwings have a reverse gear on them by any chance?

Find and fit wire wheels plans sound cracking, i think the almond green that they used to do mini 35th anniversary's in would look brilliant next to cream/OEW clip on bars are the way forward!! |

Probably but you would be wasting your time.
If you look at the drive shaft you can see that the engine is not designed for the load a car shell would place on it. That's my opinion of bike engines in cars in general as well.
