The clock on my 81 GL1100 is digital led, and only displays for a few seconds when I push the button on the radio panel. I don't detect any draw on my battery when the key off. Are you referring to an analog clock? I have one of those in the dash of my 82 GL1100, but I think it is dead, lol!

I have, more than once. They have done just fine for me. GL1000 & GL1100 alike.

Idle jets are probably stopped up with varnish. If you were using ethanol fuel before you parked it last, lots of things are probably stopped up, lol!

Can you post a side view of your bike? You said it is a 'naked' GL1000, but perhaps it has foot boards, or a custom seat that is causing issues for you? We are just guessing here without seeing what is actually on the bike itself. If you already have standard riding pegs and a stock seat...

Dis-Oriented.

I am surprised that Honda did not label the naked GL1100 as a 'Custom' like they did the all the others. The square detatchable Hondaline bags look very sharp indeed!

Plexifairing III, perhaps? I used to see those things everywhere on naked baggers in the 1980's, lol!

Holy Moley! That's a Caboose, lol!

I'm 5'6" with 32" inseam, and I could flat-foot my stock 75' gl1000 in sneakers, see profile pic. Maybe a softer bucket seat from a GL1100 could be fitted? I can flat-foot the GL1100 as well, maybe I'm just weird, lol!

Bowling-Alley wax, that will stop those pesky pads from squeaking. Or you could order some aftermarket brake caliper mufflers from Drag Specialties!

I don't think those tailpipe extensions are long enough, and they need fishtail tips as well, lol!

Humidity combined with aluminum components contaminates the fluid, and also eats up the internal parts as well.

I call the rear brake the 'assist brake', and treat it as such, lol! I think rear disc is over compensation on cars and bikes, but the GoldWings are heavy and I don't object to the relative ease of disc brake service compared to rear drum. I do find that even fully loaded the rear drum brake...

Naked baggers with a windshield seem to be back in style.

I have 3 spare 75 GL1000 project/parts bikes (2 with titles) if you have an interest in any of them. I need to clear out some storage spaces that are getting rent$$-happy.
