I am new to the forum and new to goldwings. I recently traded a car for my 1983 Aspencade.
It has 69,000 miles on it and needs some attention, but is in good shape for a 26 year old bike.
In the past I have had many bikes starting in 1960. Ducati, Suzuki, Triumph 650, Triumph 500, Kawasaki 500 Mach III, BMW R75/7 and in 1992 I went bike-less until now.
I have been a mechanic/repairman/handyman my whole life and so will do the fix-up myself.
I have no idea about what has been done in the past so would like to take appropriate measures to ensure reliability and safety.
How long should the belts and water pump last?
How about a good source for fuel lines and brake lines?
It is good to find a forum of classic guys riding classic goldwings.
