Help Support Classic Goldwings:
not me but i have like them always .... and rode all day with someone who had one .. all i can remember was how quiet it was ... it seemed quite fast also ... it was in very good shape
i have a chance to buy a stripped 92 st1100 for 500 bux, i am thinking do a single carb(as they are missing) and then us old gl1100 false tank,seat lower bags and small windshield like my beater?(the front fairing is gone also) i like the idea of 100 horse power but i need it to be as dependable as our old wings. might be a fun ride?

Sounds like the right price and they are a great bike. Mate has had one for ages and it cost a lot more than $500 , the only complaint he has is that it is a little tall for his short ass and that is even worse with wife/ pillion, luggage etc.
st1100's are very reliable, one of the guys I did my IBA runs with rides one and he is up around 70,000 miles on that motor. I want to sell my gl 1200 and get an st1300 in a couple years
