Description
Just finishing detailing - what a bike, ground up nut & bolt rebuild by a professional restorer during lockdown then the owner hardly used it!!! Criminal, so it has done a 1, 000 miles since & due to lack of use it does need the carbs cleaning/ balancing & there is a weep from the a gasket at bottom of the engine which is minor & he lived with it but it is there. Motad stainless steel replica exhausts (a lot lot lighter) otherwise a factory standard bike (I know the rivet counters can find something not to their liking but overall great example).
Truly amazing condition & it cost him £1, 500 to buy when imported from USA (I have the receipt together with Honda UK validation certificate) then I believe he paid somewhere around 7k to his friend the restorer who spent 300 hrs on it!!!! The video of the rebuild is a superb watch on YouTube just search "1978 Honda GL1000 Goldwing restoration" by Mark Reynolds
Engine sounds sweet as & he did a compression check & others & was happy with it. Please also read all the comments on the YouTube video to give you a better idea.
You will seriously struggle to find a better example & especially for this money! So much classic 70's bike for little money.
