Thanks for sharing your experience bro! Does the medium height windshield cut the wind down as much as a full height wind screen? How many inches high do you figure it needs to be to get full protection? I've got an original full height factory w/shield and like the protection from the bwind and rain but I don't like having to look through it now that it's dull and weathered. Cheers from Montreal!
Awesome ride Redzrx! I’ve purchased an’82 GL1100 just this week which works fine except for the starter. Definitely going to check out goldwingdocs.com for reference and community. Cheers from Montreal!
not sure the name but I did see some on ebay.. usually one side only and such.. came with the bike. Originally bike came from Florida.. I'm in Canada.. original owner must have put them on .. they make bike look better cause underneath the engine area is just a dull grey color , engine covers make a huge difference. (I have heard they keep the engine to hot and burns out the stater (which is a bitch to replace) I have replaced the stater once but they all had staters that burned out so not sure it's true. I'm keepint them on though.
Them Chrome Shields are Stator Eaters. Take em off. It helps dissipate heat when they are not on. Look good but they kill stators and starters due to overheating them.
I would say around 2500- 3000 in Canadian dollars... the 1500 and 1800 seem to hold their value more than the older gold wings 80 to 83. Mine you others I have seen were in a lot rougher shape.
Thanks Rob. appreciate the feedback dget01 .. you can make one yourself.. would be cheaper than me shipping it to you... 20 bucks tops at your hardware store..
Just finished making a windshield for my gl1100a made mine a little taller really turned out nice I left mine clear. Thank You for making the video it really helped .
Do you know what type of sheperd Zoe is? She looks a lot like a dog we rescued earlier this year and they said he was a shepherd mix. we think he's an Anatolian Shepherd/Boxer mix. Stark acts a lot like your dog too. Loves to jump, very long legs.
Very nice, appreciate the video! Gotta give this a try for a '83 gl 650. Is it lexan or plexiglass?
Where did you buy the acrylique sheet? Love the idea, I am looking into making a shorter one too. Thanks for the idea!
Brilliant video you don't have the dimensions of the new shield do you .?
Do you still have your Goldwing I have a lot of parts
I personally wouldn't paint it. I would want to see through it. That is why I would use window tint.
Pretty excited to be picking up an 83 GL1100 in a couple weeks from a friend.

I just bought one for $600.00 that's been garage keep and sitting for 2 yrs. thinking it's the carbs and starter.
Your sound like me I just bought 2 for 500 that have been sitting for 2 years..
@Charles Szasz got mine running cleaned the carbs oil change & rear end fluid..purrs like a kitten.. Been riding it all last month.. It's a blast..

Love these old wings. I have a '79 GL 1000 and '01 1800. Yours looks really nice. You should've started it up.
The one you have in the bike in the video looks awesome. Are you interested in selling one just like that?

Thanks .. big and fat but she's mine .. Mario
