My name is Mike.
Just happened to find this website, and thought what luck.
I have a 1976 GL 1000 Limited Edition with about 75000 klms (5000 of which are mine). :music: :salute:
Runs great,. (But needs a rear fender, Original Seat, and original mufflers. ((some bonehead put Harley mufflers on it :crying:
Also recently (for a crazy low price of $1200) I picked up a 1981 GL1100 Minty condition,( some minor rusting on surfaces...nothing a can of Rub-all can't cure.) with 1629 klms (That's right!!!! one thousand-six hundred-twenty-nine kilometers).
I remember feeling all warm and fuzzy at the time. :salute:
Everything is tight except for (of course) Fork Seals.
(Bike was in heated garage for 31 years.)
Never had a GL before, ... Lots of CB 750's, a 79 KZ 1300 (all the goodies)nice ride))
Plus misc. 650's, 1100's yammies
Couple of triumph's
a BSA
And it all started with a an old 52 benelli 2 stroke(found in a farmers garage when I was 11). :music:
