1982 Honda Goldwing, Gl1100, Interstate

My brother and I each bought one of these about 5 years ago as a winter project with the intentions of touring in Mexico for a few weeks the following spring/summer. We had done this a few times over the years. You will see a photo ofa Gl1000 Iwent thru and rode the entireHighway1 "PCH" from San Diego CA to Port Angeles WA twice. This is my third one and I know these bikes well. This bike was found in a shop behind a house in the country. It had belonged to an older man and he had removed all the bodywork to be painted however he unfortunately died before he had a chance to reassemble it. His family let it sit for years until they finally decided to clean outhisshop.

I went thru every aspect of this bike which I will detail. My brother fell and broke his shoulder and needed surgery which postponedour trip and then further surgery the following yearwhich ended histouring days and this GL has sat coveredin his shop since.

I wentthru and flushed every system crankcase final drive coolingsystem breaking system fuel systemforks. Replaced all fluids with full synthetic where possible. All filters are new as well as sparkplugs and throttle cables. I went thru the carbs using Randakk's rebuild kit. If you are a Collectable Goldwing Enthusiast then you are aware of who they are. If not go to randakks.com. Their kits use Viton gaskets and seals which is necessary for fuel systems using modern fuel. If youuse something elseyou're only looking for trouble. I had to source out Viton seals for otherareas of the fuel system which wasn't easy. I happen to live in Houston which is the center of the petro/chemical industry. Otherwise I don'tknow how you could do it. I also purchased Howard Hakasz' GL1100 carb repair guide thru Randakks. Howard is pretty much the leading authority on these bikes.Once these tasks were completed my brother and Itrailered the bikes to Harold Halasz' house who also just happens to live in Houston and headjusted the carbs this is another one of those things you'd have to be in thearea to achieve. Hedialed in the carbs on both bikes and adjusted the valves. They both purred which is just what you want with these bikes.

Although itsat in a dustyshop for years onceI began to clean it up it looked great. Any time I road it I got all kinna looks and comments. If you attend "WingDings" then you mightencounter something cleaner. Maybe! The windscreen is new Slipstream never even had a bug splatted on it. The paint bodywork chrome vinylall lookgreat not perfect.However even sitting in my driveway taking these photosI had people stop to comment.

Here's the downside. The bike sat covered in my brother's shop for aboutthree years until he sold his house and I brought it to mine about a year ago. NowI'm getting ready to sell my house. The carbs will need to be cleaned just cleaned. Asyou can see the battery was new and even though I kept it on a tender the battery fluidevaporated. I tried replacing it but nooo! So it will need a battery. The fluids are synthetic and should be good to go. I will include Howard's carb repair guide and a Clymer service repair maintenance guide.It still has the original tool kit and I have keys for all bags helmet locks glove box. The Electra Glide is not included.

I will assistwith shipping however arraignment is up to you. I have tried to tell anything I could however if you have questionsplease ask.
