I didn't know you were on RUclips too! You helped me out with that brake pin last week and I also bought a seat and a caliper from you. Your builds always turn out very nice, including this one. Cheers!
I have a 1982 fully dressed goldwing and can’t wait to start tearing it down, your bike looks fantastic, I saw on utube somewhere a guy took your seat and cut the foam with an electric knife into a cafe looking seat and had it covered, thanks for the video
Whoever bought this is a lucky guy! I just got an 82 gl1100 interstate for 900, but it is still a good way from running. I want to do pretty much exactly what you have done. I'm glad I found your video
@@phoenixarizona8441 I'd love to have a clean kz some time. The goldwing I had wound up getting stolen by a mechanic I had brought it to. Frustrating, but now I'm on an xs650 and loving it 👍👍
Right on! I'm buying an 81 gl1100 for 850 tomorrow morning.. I'll probably just keep it stock as I really only want it for longer trips but with a second bike, I'll be able to start doing some real mods on the rebel 250 I've dailied for the past two years.. now that's been an excellent little bike! 10k miles, zero issues, great mileage, fast enough to use any road and about as simple as they get to work on.
You've done a very good job Ian it looks great. I love naked holdings. I think the Honda 750 handlebars make it and the short mudguards. 👍😀💂💂💂💂💂. Spike in the UK
Well I thought I had an 1982 and it turns out to be a 1980 which is a big difference, the carbs have pressed in jets and are hard to clean but anyway it was fully dressed and I’m taking everything off and I really like those chrome fenders you put on makes a big difference in those big plastic ones , nice job you did
I plan to build a gl1200 using my dual throat downdraft Weber carbs I got off a Porche 914 engine. And make it a Naked Scooter except for a small wind shield for long distance jamming. I like the early Valkyries but the gas mileage sucks. A pair of Webers will make balancing easier. Update:Changed my mind. I found a Gl1100 with very low mileage that has spent it's entire life garaged and only riden on weekends. I paid quite a lot for it but only 87,000 miles in the clock. Oh yeah, it's a standard model. Naked!!!
I've got a standard naked GL1100, mint, but I like your idea of front fender. Mine is bulky and ugly. I guess if I couldn't find one off a Saber 750, maybe I can get it off a GL1000 or something!
Hey, odd question, putting one of these motors in a dune buggy, would you happen to know what the wires going into the forks do? I pulled them and they have butt connectors. Not sure what they go to.
I've got the same year , its already a naked bike but getting ready to make it a big cafe.. whereabouts in England are you from.. I lived in Glasgow for 6 years , just moved back a few months ago.
Great review ! this video help me a lot to have my decision. I want one to make a cafe racer .I willl like to know if is expensive to maintain the moto ? and if you still recommend this bike ? thank you
I'd be wanting it. I wish it was still on the market. I see the Colorado plate, so you might be within 100 miles or so. Nice video. If I can't find one like that one I might have to follow your advice about stripping on down. Thanks

I just picked up an 83 gl1100 aspencade oh my God man it's a behemoth mate I'm gonna have to do this too it asap
Yep, there sure is a lot of mass.

I just got one of these and am doing a very similar mod. I’m changing the seat out as well.
just bought a gl 1100 been in the family for 13 years, now its mine and I want to make it naked again and clean it up
I just bought a 1982 naked ,had 2 fully dressed before 85, 83 .The 82 is more fun to ride.

You can thread the inside of those pilot jets and then use a mini slide hammer to get them out.
I love those naked wing's
Really cool man. 😎
Great job! Post another and link it!
That's crazy my names Ian and I'm looking at buying a gl1100 to make a cafe lol
Looks great
A Naked Honda gl1100 looks like a Honda cb1000 both awesome bikes
😁😆... Your freaking awesome, love the video... I'm thinking try this as a bobber...
you need to put the crash bars back on. they are practical and look good. also get a tiny windshield on Ebay for 18 bucks to cover cluster wiring.
I like it, i want to do the same thing, i don't think the seat looks that bad, I'd leave it just the way it is 👍🏍.

Great review man i was looking for a shipping
i must say ...I LOVE The SEAT!! Looks Very Comfortable!!..would it 'fit' on my '76 GL1000? Braided 'lines' i hope to HAVE!!.....cheers from Canada!
Keep this stock 😍 please !

Awesome! Love your collection, too!!! Was that a ZX10 on the left, there?
No, GPZ1000RX, still got half of that fucking thing left, no-one wants it, shame really, though they weren't great motorcycles.
Great job! I like the overall look and details. Do you still recommend this bike?
Absolutely

Turn signals?? - certainly nothing to do with the engine.
I've got the same year , its already a naked bike but getting ready to make it a big cafe.. whereabouts in England are you from.. I lived in Glasgow for 6 years , just moved back a few months ago.
i'm turning a 1980 into a dual sport.
Are 1984 naked gold wings rare or something? I’d think about it still if I had one with a shitty fairing I didn’t need.
Great review ! this video help me a lot to have my decision. I want one to make a cafe racer .I willl like to know if is expensive to maintain the moto ? and if you still recommend this bike ? thank you
Uber-reliable, minimal running costs, you cannot beat a GL1100
@@lr882027 thank you !
Would of kept the back pegs on ro sell, its got a 2 up seat still on it.
Apart from that few good idea parts from other parts
I let it go for like 1000 bucks or so, don;t think the buyer was bothered about the pegs
I'd be wanting it. I wish it was still on the market. I see the Colorado plate, so you might be within 100 miles or so. Nice video. If I can't find one like that one I might have to follow your advice about stripping on down. Thanks
Sold in about 2 days
I've got a 79 gl1000 with low miles and needs someone to finish what I started.. but I live in Indiana
2/2/2021 I'm building another one right now.
@@lr882027 I would have been interested but I moved out of Colorado. If there are videos I will watch! Thanks
Wow $950? Im guessing that would be circa £3000 in the UK?
Pay me $1500 and I'll help you ship.
About how much did it weigh after the conversion?
Good question, I don't know but I would guess it's about 100 lbs lighter
Any thoughts on converting one into a fuel injection?
Not from me mate, though I am sure it could be done.
Where did you get the exhaust
They are EMGO silencers, you can get them off eBay or amazon
How much does it weigh
I would estimate about 100 lbs less than stock
Whats the weight diffrence
I'd guess at just over 100 lbs lighter naked.
Not legal in colorado if there is no mirror.
-Хочу!
I'm kinda more interested in what's in your garage.. Lol
I have a vid up on RUclips of what was in there about 6 years ago
all that you took off OEM you need to put back on, otherwise the bike has lost it's value.
Bollocks, no one wants fully dressed 1100s anymore, I have a lovely 83 in my garage, you want to give me three grand for it?
