I am a new owner of a 79 Goldwing with a bit over 10k miles that has been garaged since 1997! I would like to know what to expect in order to get it up and running again.

... Howdy ... Mj ... Replace All Fluids ... Just The Age Of The Machine Tells Me The Belts And Hoses Should Be Changed ... Carbs. Will Need Cleaning ... Would Also Put New Tires On ... That Will Get You Started ... Happy Trails ...

Hi mjhama.
Found a 97 gw the other week with 200 miles on it [hard to believe] had to replace fuel tank due to rust,also all fluids ,hoses and tires.other than that seems ok .Good luck.
