[QUOTE="akolleth, post: 138653, member: 3987"] [b]Just an update: I can officially call myself a Classic goldwing owner [/b] :Egyptian: I guess sometimes life hands you opportunities when you aren't even looking for them. Was randomly searching through CL, not even with any real intent and saw an ad, posted an hour before for a 77 goldwing, way overpriced at the princely sum of $400. I called expecting it to be A- a junk pile, B- a parts bike with no title, or C- gone already. The answer was D- none of the above. It had been bought as a project from the PO who wanted to- gasp- turn it into a bobber but lost interest. :shock: I have seen some tastefully done bobbers, but come on, a goldwing is by far not the ideal starting point for that kind of a project. So I am now the proud owner of said 77 GL1000. It has carb issues, and is more akin to a rat rod in appearance (seat is rough, chrome has some pitting and such)- but I have always been a function over form kinda guy anyways so its is perfectly fine with me :) Tires are great, engine runs alright minus the carb sync issue, and it has a clean title. I know- this is worthless with the obligatory pic, but it was pouring icy rain today when I bought it so I wasn't all that interested in staying outside any longer than necessary freezing my tookas off. I will try to get a picture next to the sidecar that will be attached to her this spring [/QUOTE]
