Vehicle Detail

Up for sale is my 1979 Honda GL1000 Goldwing. The bike was purchased as a simple project a while ago and we simply do not have time to get to it. It has resided in So. California since new and has been garage stored, as you can tell by it's condition. This beautiful Honda has never been abused, neglected, dropped, or damaged. All paint and chrome are OEM original and in great shape. From what I have been told, the blue color is very rare on these GL1000's. We purchased the bike as you see it, with all of the boxes, front air dam, radio and speakers, etc. removed and been in storage. We had the seat completely restored about a month ago and it is perfect. Mechanically, it has not been run in about 5 years, but has been stored inside out of the moisture and weather. Unfortunately, the starter clutch is bound up and when you put a battery to her, it will only engage about one in every 20 tries. I hear that there is a simple way of freeing it up, but I simply so not have the time. I did check the plugs and they look just about new and show that the bike was running very well when last started. Oil looks clean. The front calipers are tight, bu do work. I removed them and swung them over the fender to make it easier to roll. Gas tank looks great inside. The chassis is very clean and free of oil and grease. As evident from the pictures, the previous owner took great care of her until sh was put into storage. I don't think it will take more than a new battery, fix the starter clutch, and a little service to have her back on the road. I am sure a complete but simple going over and you will be cruising the road again. Comes with all of the accessories pictured. I have a clean California title. Last registration was 2010. If you have been looking for one of these to tinker with and enjoy, this is the one. Most of these after 34 years have been repainted, torn apart and put back together wrong, damaged, abused, etc. This bike is purely original and very well preserved. Don't miss out on the really unique and classic old Goldwing. We will miss her.....
