1979 Honda Gold Wing

Clear

OK, HERE'S THE SKINNY. I BOUGHT THIS BIKE CHEAP TO TURN IT AROUND AND MAKE A PROFIT. PROBABLY NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. THE GUY I GOT IT FROM SAID IT RAN IN MARCH OF THIS YR AND THAT IT NOW DIDNT RUN AND NEEDED A BATTERY AND FOR THE CARBS TO BE CLEANED. SO I FIGURED I WOULD BUY A BATTERY, PLUGS AND PUT NEW GAS IN IT AND IT WOULD RUN. WELL I DID JUST THAT AND IT HAS STARTED BUT DID NOT RUN WELL. HE WAS RIGHT, I BELIEVE THE CARBS NEED TO BE CLEANED, AND I DONT HAVE THE TIME FOR THAT, SO I WILL HOPEFULLY BREAK EVEN ON THIS BIKE, NO RESERVE. IF YOU HAVE THE TIME AND KNOW HOW, THIS COULD BE A DESCENT BIKE TO GET INTO FOR NOT ALOT OF MONEY. ALSO, THE FRONT BRAKE DOESNT WORK, GUY SAID IT NEEDED TO BE BLED, DIDNT EVEN MESS WITH IT, PRIORITY WAS TO GET THE BIKE RUNNING. IN ONE OF THE SIDE BAGS IS A PRETTY COMPREHENSIVE SERVICE RECORD OF ONE OF THE PREVIOUS OWNERS, ALL OF THE OIL CHANGES, SERVICING ETC. LOOKS LIKE IT WAS VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF. NEWER TIRES WITH LOTS OF TREAD LEFT. BIKE IS IN OVERALL VERY GOOD CONDITION BUT I FEEL COULD USE A PAINT JOB. THE MOTOR IS SURPRISINGLY CLEAN FOR ITS AGE AND MILEAGE. 42,000, THESE WILL GO ALOT MORE THAN THAT. I DID BUY A BRAND NEW BATTERY AND EVERYTHING SEEMED TO LIGHT UP WHEN TURNED THE KEY. SOMEONE ALSO PUT AN ELECTRONIC IGNITION ON IT WHICH IS VERY NICE AS WELL, NO MESSING WITH THOSE OLD POINTS. THATS ABOUT ALL I KNOW ABOUT IT. I TRUELY BELIEVE IF A GUY WENT THROUGH THOSE CARBS, YOU WOULD HAVE A NICE RUNNING INEXPENSIVE GOLD WING. I TRY AND BE AS HONEST AS POSSIBLE WITH MY LISTINGS AS YOU CAN SEE FROM MY 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK. PLEASE EMAIL OR CALL IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. hudbob@bdumail.com or 605-335-7418. i will not ship or deliver this bike but will assist in any other way i can. will sell nationally or internationally.
