Hey Guys, So I just bought a MINT condition 1980 Gl1100 and riding it home 60 miles gave me a grin from ear to ear......

I have other bikes, custom chopper, zx 14 etc... BUT there is something VERY special about this bike.

My Father had one in 1977 and I remebered it always...
( I am 40 now ) and always wanted one... its black with blue pinstripe.


So the details are one owner, paint, decals etc are MINT not a scratch or spot of rust anywhere...
indoor garage kept and 75,000 KM ( Canada )

I will be doing the Timing Belt, flush rad, oil etc...

Is there anything else anyone reccomend I check out ?

Thanks in Advance

Check the tires, even if they look good check the manufacturers date on the side of the tire, and enjoy your new ride

Thanks, yes the tires are only 2 years old.

I will take some pics tomorrow... i need to to apply for collectors plates, $225.00/year here in Vancouver.

Sounds like you got a real keeper there G. Maybe have a good boo at your rubber and plastic hses and such. Time can be a real enemy on that stuff. Again congrats.

Budoka is right.

If it's rubber or liquid, probably a good thing to change out.

Congrats on the new prize and welcome to GWOF.

thanks Lads, will be doing evrything this week... timing belt first !

The fairing edges ets are in amazing shape, all the chrome looks new, I cant find a scratch or blemish on her.. even the guages/windscreen are crystal clear.

Felt like I could have slept on it last night !

here are a few pics of the other bikes I have....posted them in the meet and greet, but here seems more appropriate
