The GL1000s are pretty simple compared to the CB dohc, IMHO. Although it had numerous PO induced problems, I struggled less with mine than with the CB750F I'm working on. One trick I found on the GL1000 was to ratchet-strap the engine to a furniture dolly with 2 doubled 2x4s screwed to it to fit between the headers. This allowed stripping the frame off of the engine, and after frame cleaning and painting and engine work was done the wife helped me jocky the frame back on to the engine. No heavy lifting needed!
