1978 Honda Gold Wing

GL1E4006702

Bought this basket case last fall and brought back to life over the winter. It gets ridden about 50 miles every weekend. Low RPM a little rough, but definately rideable. Could use a professional carburator rebuild. Previous owner must have done it himself. Right cylinder bank smokes when first started, but clears up once engine is warm. Number one cylinder has lower compression (145). All others are normal at 160 to 170. Right radiator wing is missing. I have the left one loose off the bike. I have to be honest and disclose the center stand mount frame cross tube has rusted. Any good non-dealer bike shop will be able to weld in a new tube. I have been riding all summer with no problems. I do not have a reserve price. Priced to sell quickly. Only asking for what I paid for new items. The bike is currently inspected and has a clear title. I reserve the right to end the auction early. Local pick-up only with cash payment. This listing below was all repaired, rebuilt, or installed this spring. New timing belt Front brakes - fluid replaced and bled.
