I have lurked around this site a bit and found good info so I thought I should register.
Starting to get my 78 GL1000 back in running order, I bought this bike new in 1978 in Irving Texas at a dealer off of Hwy 183 can't remember the name. This bike has a Vetter Windjammer complete with an 8 track and what appears to be Drag Specialties bags, trunk and bumper. They look very much like an E-Glide of the same period, all painted same as bike in blue. As I was overseas from 1976 to 1996 it was stored most of that time inside in a climate controlled area so it is in very good shape. Carbs have been rebuilt but have gas tank and fork seal issues that i need to address before it is good to go. will probably put on electronic ignition also.
