1976 Honda GL1000
This well-respected and much sought-after Tax & MOT exempt 1976 Honda GL1000 Goldwing has recently been imported from North America where it has spent all its life – the climate is far kinder to motorcycles than ours. This and the fact it’s only showing 8917 miles and has been in dry storage for the last umpteen years have helped maintain its boyish good looks.
We have been unable to confirm this mileage reading. Please disregard it.
The single most important purchase for a classic restoration project is the bike to restore, whether it’s going to be a commercial venture or just a hobby interest it all starts here!
PLEASE CHECKOUT THE PICTURES…….. As you can see this bike has a few parts missing – start button and lever rubbers being the most obvious. The end pipe on the RH exhaust has broken off. It has obviously stood a while so the battery is flat, paintwork is faded & pinstripes are peeling, front brake isn’t working, chrome is peeling badly on the front mudguard and a bit on the rear, tyres are perished & seat cover is torn.
BUT NOW FOR THE GOOD NEWS……… The wheels are straight with nice clean alloy, good discs, calipers and working rear brake. The forks and yokes look straight but there is some pitting. The tail light assy is good as are the headlight and bowl. Instruments and switches look ok. The throttle is very loose. The paintwork is slightly faded but solid. The indicators are tidy. Both mud guards are solid. The engine is cosmetically clean. We have had it firing/running & revving briefly using and auxillary tank to feed fresh fuel through the system but the carbs will require some attention.
