[QUOTE="kerryb, post: 206379, member: 2980"] I'm waking up a 1979 gl1000 for a friend. Last inspected in 2004, 35k miles showing on the clock. Condition looks good, was stored indoors, very little rust. What makes me wonder is the clues to a lot of work done to this by previous owner(s). The clues include: gl1100 exhaust installed, the crossover pipe removed and plugged to make it fit. Several mounting bolts on the engine have thread damage and one upper front bolt is replaced with the wrong diameter! I should have looked closer at the drive splines when the rear wheel was off, but I'll be back in there soon when the gas tank goes back in. The question is... what other clues should I look for to be confident its 35k miles and not 135k miles? Should I pull the clutch and measure the plates? Other suggestions? all part of the adventure... [/QUOTE]
