Hello everyone!
My name is Charlie, I am from Indiana and just acquired a 1982 Gl1100 Interstate with just over 40,000 miles. I was not in the market for a Goldwing but my dad found this one at a house he was selling and I got it for $1,000 bucks I thought it seemed like a good deal!
I'm looking forward to learning about these bikes and fixing it up.
So I came here to get advice from the people who love them the most. What are the first things I should look at on these bikes for repair. It runs good (from what I can tell). I've had it for 2 days and it starts right up every time.
So what things should I look at first?
Any specific threads I should read to get me started?
General advice?
Cleaning tips, I have some bubbles around the stripe decals.
Thanks!
Here is a pic of it. I'll get better ones later but this is all I have right now.
OH and this is not my first bike. I grew up on dirt bikes and am used to cb750 style bikes. I've never riden one this large until the other day
but is was quite comfortable.
