THIS IS A 1979 HONDA GOLDWING GL1000 THAT IS IN OVERALL PRETTY GOOD SHAPE. I BOUGHT THIS BIKE LAST SPRING WITH PLANS OF FIXING IT UP. NEEDLESS TO SAY, IT DIDNT HAPPEN. I GOT THE BIKE RUNNING BUT NEVER GOT TO RIDE IT. I HAD UNFORSEEN FINANCIAL CIRCUMSTANCES THAT PREVENTED ME FROM FOLLOWING THROUGH WITH MY ORIGINAL PLAN. SO IT HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY GARAGE SINCE. I ATTEMPTED TO START IT THE OTHER DAY BUT COULDNT GET IT RUNNING. I BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY FOR IT LAST SUMMER AND THAT HAS BEEN STORED INDOORS THROUGHOUT THE WINTER. THE GUY I BOUGHT IT FROM SAID THE CARBS NEEDED TO BE GONE THROUGH, AND I BELIEVE THATS WHY IT WONT START NOW. I DONT HAVE THE TIME, MONEY OR KNOWHOW TO DO THIS. ALSO, THE FRONT BRAKE DOES NOT WORK. THE PREVIOUS OWNER SAID IT JUST NEEDED TO BE BLED, COULD BE, NEVER GOT AROUND TO LOOKING INTO THAT. 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. 42,970, (THESE WILL GO ALOT MORE THAN THAT.) 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.CLEAR TITLE. THE BIKE HAS TO GO, SO WILL START THE BIDDING QUITE LOW AT 400 BUCKS!!! I TRY TO 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 this bike but can assist in delivery up to 300 miles for an agreed upon fee, please inquire about this prior to bidding if you plan on needing delivery assistance.
