    Parts Wanted Wanted: '75-'77 GL1000 RIGHT side exhaust header

    Seems odd to me that the right side is rotted out, while the left is just a little rusty. Let me know if you have something. I've already obtained a decent muffler. This is for my "Pete" project '75 GL1000.

    75 GL1000 "Pete"

    In memory of a fine gentleman that some of you knew - "Pistol" Pete Boody. I purchased it from Ken and Moose last summer, and stored it away in my shed. Finally got enough room (and recovered form a wreck on my RD400c) to move it to the garage. It is fairly complete, although I'm certain some...

    Unless something big happens, Tuesday June 28th will be the last gathering at the Time Warp. But, the bikes will still gather! Last meeting, it was voted to gather at Twisters about 0.7 miles North of the Time Warp at the corner of Central and Quincy. Has a nice parking lot, their food is...

    A very interesting visit this morning

    Many know that we lost "Pistol" Pete Body a couple years ago. He was a very nice gentleman and I was honored to get to meet him when he was still healthy. His son in law is going through Pete's considerable stash of parts, bikes, etc. I visited Pete's old shop this morning and was toured around...

    RIP Hunley?

    Decided to ride the Hunley in to the Time Warp Tea Room this afternoon for Bike Night. Got about 2 miles from home and she began to loose power and stutter. Turned around and got about 1/2 mile back when she quit on me. Noticed that tach was not working and seemed to not be pumping fuel. Crap -...

    RBmotorcycle parts

    Here is the email address of the oldwing breaker that I found in Akron, Indiana.. They primarily sell on ebay. [email protected] They are working on a web page. I picked up a '79 grab bar and front HONDA badge for a fair price. They specialize in parting out oldwings.

    We've lost a good man RIP Pete Boody

    I just learned today that Pete "pistolpete" Boody lost a battle with cancer yesterday. I only got to see Pete a few times, but he impressed me as a genuine gentleman and GoldWing expert. I was honored to show my Hunley GL1000 in his 2018 WingDing exhibit that GWRRA gave him six booth spaces to...

    Might be another pump job soon

    About one drop of green fluid evey-other day under the '79. I've only riden it once, for about 45 miles, this season. I have done compression check (all in the 160's) but that's about all. I'll wait until it gets a bit worse. Probably will do seal replacement as replacing mechanical seals was a...

    1979 difference that I've not seen noted before.

    Turned a '78 and '79 frame over, and found a noticeable difference between them. The '79 has gussets for the cross-bar that the center stand pivot mounts to where the '78 does not. I feel this is an important difference that I have never seen referenced before. A combination of rust prevention...

    '78 - pinched another loaf - Johnny 5!

    Picked up this smelly pile in Kentucky for a Winter project (appropriate that I should pick it up on the first day of winter). GL1000s I've had are a '77 back in '04, a '78 with '75 motor (the Hunley), a junker '79 that I salvaged a few parts from and still have a few, a '79 that is set up for...

    Dragging brakes? Photo of MC return port

    We have had a lot of discussions of dragging brakes and many seem to have trouble finding the return or relief port that permits fluid to flow back into the Master Cylinder (MC) reservoir when brakes are released. This applies to front and rear, any year model, and even the Chinabay MCs. I am...

    Scary thing happened yesterday

    I rode the Hunley ~20 miles in to a car/bike show yesterday. Good turn-out and finally some bikes there! Time Warp Vintage Motorcycle Club showed up with 11 bikes plus there were about five others. Happily the show let out around 3 pm so we could beat the UT football traffic. On my way home the...

    WANTED 78/79 Headers

    The '79 that I am working on came with aftermarket SS headers that are 1-2" too long to fit up to the stock mufflers that I have. So, I'm looking for a set of stock headers. Preferably with heat shields but just a solid set will do. USA please. 37716 ZIP.

    Maybe some day restore a '79 - now named "Freedom"

    But not soon, I guess. Missed on one this week. Decided to work on the junker I picked up last month. Do the carbs and you'll have a spare rack I told myself. Separated the rack and find everything full of mud and oxidized aluminum. Carb #1 came apart Ok (so far, not one screw head stripped) and...

    Vintage motorcyle show tomorrow in Knoxville, TN

    If you are in the vicinity of Knoxville (TN) tomorrow (April 20), stop by Honda on Clinton Highway 10 am - 2 pm and check out the beautiful bikes the Time Warp Vintage Motorcycle Club is showing. If it rains (seems likely), it will be in the covered area behind the service department.
