1975 and 2020 Goldwings

[Markythec]

Hello all
I have a 2020 GL1800 but couldn’t resist buying a 1975 GL1000. Believe it’s a K-0. It runs but I’m rebuilding the carbs next week. I cant wait to ride this 1st generation classic

Markythec, I'm glad you've popped up here. That ad tormented me for a couple of weeks. (See link)
https://classicgoldwings.com/threads/75-gl1000.14684/You have a great example of early Goldwing. If you're near where that was sold, maybe we can get together for a ride when it's up and running well. Good luck, Dave

I have been enjoying riding my new to me a 1975 GL1000 K0, I spent all winter restoring it ,just finished a couple weeks ago,the engine was stuck,carbs and fuel tank were toast, it sat for 14 years in a shed.
I absolutely love this bike. It took me a little while to dial in the carburetors,I've put over 600 miles on it in a short time, a fun bike for sure.

Wow, 47 year old bike looks great!
Frame, chrome, placards, a lot of work well done.
