Michael,
I'm working on getting one going. It's a '75 GL1000 and it is by means
TOO big. It's not small either. The bike without ICE components is
actually reasonably light. I picked up a starter/generator shunt wound
motor that cranks out 18hp continuous and it should be plenty powerful.
My girlfriend and I commute together, so we're going to need the extra
horses for two riders on the heavier Wing. I was planning on having two
PMs like Dale suggested, but this motor turned up first.
The main issue is with the final drive. I'm planning on needing to put
some kind of reduction between the motor and drive shaft. I was hoping
to get a CVT worked out, but now I'm leaning towards a fixed ratio belt
drive.
The EV album page is several months out of date, but it's got some shots
of the bike.

So, has anyone ever done a gold wing? Or is that just TOO big of a bike?
