78 Honda GL1000

So many great old bikes. I really think it has addictive properties. If I won the lottery I would still love messing with the old stuff!

Working on a 78 Goldwing now but not stock. Did two stock ones already and really like them so it’s hard to go custom but……

    I just saw an ad on Craigslist for a basket case GL1000. I was half way tempted after seeing these two.

    Nice ’78′s in the pics. Redid a ’79 2 years ago barn find that sat for 19 years a great way to pass the winter. Have fun with your, next project keep us updated

      That is a lot of work. One of my 78s say for 13 years and wouldn’t even roll. Those bikes are built to last though! It’s so fun to hear an old bike make noise for the first time after all that time.

    Yeah, sorry, that is the main engine block in candy Blood orange for the bike I’m doing now. No hurry on it, I’m hoping it helps me cope with Winter. Nice comments guys, thanks!

    Gold Wings are incredible bikes in their own right! At a local vintage show this past summer, my 1981 CBX took second place to a absolute perfect 1976 Wing! That shows to me, how respected they really are!
    Great pics of great bikes!
