I feel beter now!

Since I had 13 bikes, and 13 is an unlucky number. I went, and picked this up today. It;s a 76 Gold Wing.
 
I feel a lot better now.

I am totally 100% jealous right now.

You had better strip that beast and do something very cool with it...or else!

That thing screams heavy! Do a goldwing chopper!

That is nice. But it would look alot better in my garage.

Welcome to your first (?) water-cooled Honda motorcycle.  1976 was about the first year for the 'wing.  I'm partial to the Valkyrie: GoldWing without all the extra body stuff on it.  That should be a fun project.

I think I just picked up the younger twin to that one. It's a '77 GL1000:

She runs pretty good. About 35k miles on it. Hasn't been sitting a long time. Was registered and ridden. Has the original owners manual and tool kit.



First impressions: This is a BIG motorcycle but it handles and rides like it's half it's size. Very smooth, all the way up to the redline. Accelerates like a rocket! No wonder they tried to bill this as a superbike and not a tourer, a real performer. The center stand is brilliant, takes less effort to put it on the stand than a 550 does.

The original owner was meticulous about maintenance (I got it from the 2nd owner, who bought it in 2009). Check out the way he labelled the clutch handle with the tire pressures!


I also got this spare parts bike in the package:

My MBS (multiple bike syndrome) is outta control now. These are bikes 5 & 6 and I'm still hitting craigs list every damn morning!

I don't plan to mod the goldwing. Just clean it up, remove the windjammer and add some bags. I want it look sort of like this one:


TOOLS has some nice bags that I'm going to get. Just need a stock seat, or one of these corbin's:



And some nice mufflers.

You did good. I have a seat just like the one on the bike, you are trying to duplicate, but it needs recovered.
