[QUOTE="joseph, post: 182460, member: 4981"] I just made a deal with a neighbor lady, that recently lost her father, for his 78' Gold Wing. Titles clear, and he had purchased it in 85'. At the age of 43, I'm getting the itch to start riding. Sober now for nearly 3 years, alcoholic, very functional one for easily 25 years, I am ready to let the breeze hit the knees!! Any how, I'm confused as to what I really have here. The title says 78', the rear fender says GL 1000, but the motor says GL 1100? Has someone put a 1100 in this 1000 frame? If anyone is listening, or have response to my mystery I will be greatfull! Also, she says he had it running a year maybe two years ago, I tried to start it already and didn't want to fire up. Rookie of the year may come to me this year, so what is a good start in procedures for me now. I have, or can get any tool needed to get this pretty lady riding down the road again. I'll be in touch and thanks for any info' Peace! [/QUOTE]
