1978 Honda Gold Wing

GL1-4057728

Clear

Purchased about 3 years ago and was not running at that time.   Have done a lot to it and have been using it myself, but just am not riding it as much as I should....have only used it once this Summer and only a few times prior to that, so passing it along to someone else who will ride it more than me.  Runs good.   Shifts through all gears as it should.  Sold with no warranties or guarantees.  Has an aftermarket seat and rack/backrest. Have replaced all belts and hoses.   Installed new Dyna high-flow coils and wires, bulbs for signals and gauges.  Also, installed Dyna pointless electronic ignition.  Replaced thermostat, spark plugs, fuel filter, rear shocks and radiator completely tanked and cleaned.  Rebuilt and balanced carbs, changed all fluids and new valve cover rubbers and washers.  Has a new battery and I replaced worn wires.  New brakes.  Have done a lot of little things that it's difficult to remember all so if you have any questions, please email. Bike is definitely not a restoration or a concourse, but runs and drives well.   Cruises down the road with no issues.  Smooth and comfortable. Comes with the owner's manual and tool kit.   Also, have the crash bars that came with it and will include those in sale.  Did a compression check when I first got the bike and repeated the test for this listing;  here are the numbers:   Cylinder 1 is at 140.  Cylinder 3 is 140.   Cylinder 2 is 149 and cylinder 4 is at 150. Local pickup or buyer can set up their own shipping.  There are many reputable shippers that Ebay is affiliated with. Thanks for looking and happy bidding!
