I'm in the process of restoring the GL1100 I bought about a month ago. I got it for a very good price and it only has 50,000 miles. Other than some weather damage, corrosion and spray paint, the bike's all original and has potential. I plan to post some pictures and I'll be asking for some advice.
Question: For reliability, what are the "must do" things that need to be checked, repaired, etc. I am rebuilding the carbs, changing the timing belt and I've already changed the oil to Amsoil. The tires are in great condition and I will be changing the brake pads. Since I have it apart right now, I'd like to take care of any future issues and ride this baby some day with confidence!
The paint will be done in a few weeks, metal flake black.
