79000 miles. Registered in my name. In the last year, it has:New fan switchNew neutral sensor switchNew AGM batteryNew throttle cablesNew brake lines front and rearNew float bowl seals and float needlesOil and coolant changedNew headlightNew timing beltsRebuilt rear brake master cylinderIt has the stock exhaust, with no leaks and minimal corrosion. There's some surface rust on the frame, three small holes in the seat cover, and the body panels have a couple of minor nicks and scratches but it's a pretty good-looking bike from six feet.The front brake master cylinder and lever are from a 1994 Ninja. If you're familiar with old Goldwings, you know the brake lever effort is a little high. The new master cylinder works and feels like the brakes on a modern bike. It does have chrome head covers from a GL1100. However the engine serial number does show that the engine is for a 1978 GL1000. I also have a Vetter Windjammer touring kit for this bike. It's not currently installed on the bike. If you buy the bike you are welcome to take the fairing kit as well. I've been over mostly all of this bike, particularly the electrical system, and made sure everything is in good working order. It has no leaks, all the lights work, and it starts up easily. The only thing not working is the horns. It has aftermarket horns that work, but they aren't wired up. I haven't gotten around to wiring them in because I'm thinking about getting some stock horns for it. This is a nice, smooth, powerful bike, and it is surprisingly easy to handle despite its size. You don't see these everywhere, and this bike really turns heads.
