Extraordinary build sir! I've got an '83 gold wing - formerly the Aspencade variant - full dresser...ugly AF maroon/brownish whatever. Last fall I finished a cafe build of a '78 Yamaha XS400 that I'm really proud of... this goldwing is next - gonna be a full restoration down to the frame. It's a bit of a tribute build for my big brother "Moose" who was killed in a motorcycle accident 8yrs ago. This was his first bike that he bought from a family friend then sold to a different family friend when he bought the Harley that he lost his life on (typical story of an elderly lady who didn't see or hear him). That family who bought it from my brother eventually bought a much newer goldwing and, knowing my connection to this bike, asked me if I wanted it and signed over the title to me (honestly didn't have much sale value anyway as it was (and still is) in rough shape. Wish me luck...gonna be a lot of work! Cheers, - Jens
Hey Jimmy! That's a great build. The men in my family grew up riding gold wings. I love to see people keeping these old machines running with new and fresh ideas. Keep up the good work!
@@akaSuperJimmy All you have to do is change oil & filter at regular intervals and these old 1100's will run forever! I have 214,000 miles on my 82 GL1100 and one of my riding partners has over 280,000 on his 83 GL1100 and has ridden it in every State in the US, excluding Hawaii but including Alaska!
Its me again just letting you know you inspired us to do a Goldwing cafe project, my son purchased the bike a couple of weeks ago and we are planning and getting busy with build. Thanks again for your great video, its been very helpful with parts and mods needed.
I hate flooding the comment section but you did a really good job on this bike man. I'm 37 and I'm done with the wheelies and knee dragging. Just wish I could take phones out of everyone's hand so when I'm done with my build we can all be much more safe out here
Hey don't worry about it, I love talking to people. I just wanted something unique you know. And, yes to many playing with phones and not enough driving out there.
Spectacular customization! Not what you would expect to see someone do to a touring bike but that adds to the vision while most take a sportier bike and make them into a bobber or chopper not the other way around so my hat's off to you sir an amazing transformation.
That was the first bike I ever had. They are amazing. You did an incredible job my bro. I wish I still had mine. Watching this made me want to go get another. They are SO MUCH fun!!
A fantastic and very tasteful job. That boxer engine looks great on a cafe style bike rather than hidden behind fairing. I have been looking at all of the Goldwing conversions and I think this is the nicest I have seen. The only shame for me about this bike is I can’t just walk in somewhere and buy it because I would in a heartbeat.
Beautiful Scooter. I am planning a hot rodded GL1200. I have a pair of dual throat down draft weber carbs. I will not do a cafe racer though. More upright comfort for these old bones. Something that will fly through the twisties but will also do the freeway slabs all day long. No fairing or trunk either. Something that looks cool and sounds like an Indy car. Peace.
hey thanks man. I'm glad you like the bike! sounds like you have a good idea for your own. if you have any questions let me know. You should check out my newest build! Sounds like it'll be more up your ally. ruclips.net/p/PLNQIKenqjh4NLqiFdeE5JIsto8_I_Phd5
I have never been a fan of the cafe racer craze but your build is on another level. I’m old and currently am/was restoring an 82 wing. This build has me leaning towards dumping the plastics then possibly adding a small batwing fairing. Once again, your build is absolutely stunning, fantastic workmanship and everything blends perfectly with the flat 4 wing engine.
I just picked up what I suspect is a Bobbed Goldwing for the awesome price of 100$ from a storage locker auction. So am now thinking of a restoration project myself... so look forward to watching your videos and picking your brain as I begin this long process.....
Dude, yes, what a steal! Dose it run? Yes dude, hit me up on Instagram for more quick response to questions. And I can also send you pictures if you have questions.
Great job on this bike, I’ve always liked the naked goldwings for some reason, so I finally got one I drove 7 hours to pick up a 1980 GL1100 fully dressed for $500 and man is it in rough condition but I have nothing but time so I started to stripping it down going threw the carbs now and can’t wait to start on the looks, hope you don’t mind if I take some things from your build but you did such a nice job
Excellent bike and video. I been wanting to do a goldwing cafe for a couple years now, just haven't had the money to buy a bike. A couple weeks ago a 1983 honda shadow presented itself to me for $300 so I will practice on that until I find my goldwing... you should build a few more to sell for the people out there that can't build their own. Keep up the good work!
hey thanks! That's not a bad idea! i wonder if there's a good market for that? good luck with the shadow. there great biks and have a lot of power. i hope you find "the one" goldwing LOL. Hit me up if you have any questions.
I've got an 89 super magna that I was thinking of scramblerizing down the road and this video popped up in my feed. I'm so glad it did too, this thing looks so damn nice! Even the weird discolored heat wrap somehow works on it somehow. I can hardly believe that's a Goldwing, beautiful work man.
I like what you did. I've had 3 83' GLs' that were full faired w/ bags that I rode like a sport bike w/ suspension mods. Ran away from a few squids on GXRs in canyons of LA. When I saw your YT description of the vid I was hoping to see a 4 into 1 pipe. Saw 1 on an ''outlaw'' club bike. It sounded FANTASTIC! I have a Triumph Sprint 1050, but want another 83' GL.
Impressive skills Mr Jimmy!! I have a 1983 GW GL1100... Thanks to you, now I have a pattern to follow. IMPRESSIVE BIKE!! The Force is strong with you brother!! Happy Riding!!
Wow. Nice work for having good done it all yurself. Excellent detailing you did to make the look last looking like new. Very well done. Top marks if I were a judge
Beautiful! A really well thought out and executed build, especially the fine detailing on paint, powder coating, etc. I just picked up a near mint '78 GL1000... I'll leave it stock because it's in such good shape , but I love the look of the old 1000 and 1100's as bobber or cafe style bikes. Excellent video too btw... very enjoyable to watch👍
WOW, thanks for the love! A lot of love and time went into this beast. Man I would love to get ahold of a 70s, there so cool with the spoke wheels and the gauges in the "tank". If you like GL bobber products, you should definitely check out my newest project ruclips.net/video/x_DkMJT6cs8/видео.html Thanks!!
Wow, such a great job. I love the way you integrated everything properly and nothing looks like its just stuck on. Everything goes really well with each other and the coloring looks just awesome. Some great tricks that I might use on future projects with the clear on certain parts or over stickers.
Thanks!! That means a lot! I put a lot of love, heart and thaught into this bike! I'm working on a hard tail project now. I'll be posting a "half way" video soon. Check out my Instagram acount for more frequent updates. superjimmy41. THANKS!!!
Killer build brother. Just picked up my very first bike, a 1982 Honda Gl1100. Your build is definitely an inspiration for what I plan to do with it. Love that midnight rider look you have going. Would love to see more vids of you riding it around!
Hey Jimmy from another Jimmy. I love, love your ride. Being old school (78 years old is old school, hey?) I would give anything to ride this down the Parkway. Great job!
I had two 1983's i made into cafe/rat/bobbers. 1983 is the very best year of the goldwing for this, before 1983 they came with cheap looking comstar wheels and the year after they changed the tank and after that starting in 1985 everything was molded and couldn't be removed without looking very trashy.
Amazing bike, that’s a big girl right there! Buying one this Friday and planning on doing the same, stock paint but going to shed all the bags and shit
@@akaSuperJimmyreally? I've only ever owned a Honda Grom 125 lol. Do you think your wing is faster than most Harley's? How would it compare to like a 650 sport bike?
Brother you did a hell of a job on that Goldwing of yours, I seriously cannot believe it can look that good it's very very very well done brother, I am actually going to be purchasing a 75 Goldwing myself very soon in the next week or two and you are giving me ideas big time! at first I was thinking about backing out of the deal because I didn't know if I would like the customization aspect of that bike but it seems like you can do a hell of a lot man, you have definitely given me a few ideas for my Goldwing when I get her, and I actually like your style mag wheels, and I really actually don't like mag wheels at all but yours looks really good, but I will always think that the Goldwing will always look better with spoked rims which is absolutely what I have to have, great build Brother! hope you're enjoying her safely.
Thanks so much man! Its so sweet to ride. I'm glad I can help, the mags are awesome! Spokes would be sweet, but it wouldn't be easy, a lot of things would have to change on the 80s to get spokes. 75 would be awesome, good luck and have fun!! Make sure to check out my Bobber build. ruclips.net/video/x_DkMJT6cs8/видео.html
Nice build and video. Just starting on a 1978 GL1000 myself and I appreciate the insights you shared. My exhaust is factory and in bad shape. I'm gonna borrow some ideas from what you did.... love the sound and looks of that V and H exhaust. Great job bro!
Great build, I just got the same bike, same "poop brown" I like the black and silver styling, will be taking some que from your build. Great job on the video too, well explained and just well made!
Thanks I'm building one dam near identical can't wait to get it done I have a GL1100 and a kz750 I'm leaving the kz750 stock my gl1100 I'm building like this
I fucking LOVE what you created !! You should feel very proud when riding this beauty and for the work /thought put into it.I want to make a BOBBER/CAFE RACER bike with the same look.Very inspirational,you have good taste too!HAPPY MILES TO YOU,good vid also.Memories of the 400SS bikes I restored.😎👍✌🇨🇦
Thanks! I have no idea. Sure would be sweet if they came off the factory floor this way. Of course then my bike won't be special anymore. So on second thought, they can keep making motorcycles for Grandpa's. LOL!
What a great looking Goldwing! One thing that would concern me is no fenders, and especially no front fender to protect your face and the radiator from rocks.
Beautiful job. Fantastic build. Would like to see some your tools, techniques & processes for the parts. I'm looking at an identical starter project bike right now ... so tempting.
Love this Goldwing build. Just picked up an 1981 GL1100 this past week. Starting with small things first. Handlebars grips and mirrors to get rid of that older dated look. With the new bars did you have to get any risers for the handle bars to fit in there well? Picked up some similar bars off Amazon and fits but won’t go that far forward likes yours down do.
Beautiful bike. I always like to see what people can do with these old wings. I ride an '87 rat wing. I am slowly stripping things off but bags and box have to stay because I ride long distances. Don't have time to do much to my wing. I will arrive in the US next April and ride every day until August. If I have to work on the bike I borrow another bike and keep riding.
@akaSuperJimmy Planning on a lot of riding in 2025. Leaving for the South of Argentina 4 January. That is a 5000 to 6000 mile trip. Purchasing a 2006 Triumph Tiger right now. I can ride that all summer and fix up the old Wing. Time to eat dinner and go for a ride.
Love this bike Jim you've done amazing job and it sounds great. The only thing I would change would be the bars maybe put cb750 bars on her 👍😀😀😀😀 Spike in the UK
Hay man! Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you like the build! Ya, the bars are definitely a person by person preference. Its a blast to drive tho! Thanks for the subscription! And from the UK too, cool!

Appreciate that! I'm glad you made an exception. Thank you!!

Thank you very much! To each his own as they say!
Fantastic build! The work that went into this is top notch!
Thanks so much!
Very nicely done. You can't beat these old GL for customizing, but yours is one of the nicer ones I've seen.

I have never been a fan of the cafe racer craze but your build is on another level. I’m old and currently am/was restoring an 82 wing.

You sir are an artist! Great looking bike. I'm in the process of redoing a goldwing myself
Thanks! I hope you have fun on yours!
Good audio and video direction
Edit: and of course great build sharp accents.
Much appreciated! I'm definitely no expert but I'm learning this video stuff.

Really nice bike mate, very tasteful and very tidy work, sounds great too. An inspiration to us all! 🤩
Thanks for the kind words!

That's awesome. I hope you end up loving it as much as I love mine!
@@akaSuperJimmy does it feel more like a sports bike the way you have it set up
@@phoenixarizona8441 heck yes it does! Sucker rips! 2nd gear is a kick in the pants!
@@akaSuperJimmy do you have a Facebook I'd like to get some info on the bike and show you mine
@@akaSuperJimmywe might have to link up and ride sometime always looking for new riding buddies do you have a Facebook or IG
I fucking LOVE what you created !! You should feel very proud when riding this beauty and for the work /thought put into it.I want to make a BOBBER/CAFE RACER bike with the same look.Very inspirational,you have good taste too!HAPPY MILES TO YOU,good vid also.Memories of the 400SS bikes I restored.😎👍✌🇨🇦
That's awesome! That's why I even do these videos. to inspire the next build! Good luck to you!!
This is a work of art. So good!
Wow, thank you!
This is a great build. If you ever want to sell it, I'd be interested in buying it off you. I'm originally from MI as well.
Thanks man, I think I'll be buried with this thing, I love too much to part with it. Thanks for the offer tho!
Amazing bike, great job on the build!
Thanks!
Thanks absolutely great build wonder why Honda does not make bobber from scratch
Thanks! I have no idea. Sure would be sweet if they came off the factory floor this way. Of course then my bike won't be special anymore. So on second thought, they can keep making motorcycles for Grandpa's. LOL!
Amazing sound on that bike! Perfect sound!
It does! thanks!!
Nice bike well done!
Thanks man!
What a great looking Goldwing! One thing that would concern me is no fenders, and especially no front fender to protect your face and the radiator from rocks.
Nice work. Love the detail What a craft! 😍
Thanks so much!
Love it. We’ll done! Thanks for sharing :)
Solid build dude. Great job on the video as well.
Appreciate it!
Working on my 1978 GL1000 build as we speak!
Hey that’s awesome! I would love to get a 70s. I love the gauges in the “tank” and the spoked wheels. Good luck!
@@akaSuperJimmy well then you'd be sad to hear that I pulled the tank and am putting one in from a cb750.
@@beng9310 That is sad, but I'm sure it'll be sweet when you're done. You're planning to keep the spoked wheel still right?
@@akaSuperJimmy my '78 comes with ComStars, so I bought some spokies to put on
@@beng9310 Yes!
Beautiful bike and well done!!
Thank you!
Awesome! I have done something similar. Love what you did here.
Thanks man!
Nice build!
My man this is something like i wanna donto my 83 goldwing gl1100, i just got it this weekend!
Dude that's awesome! Get after it. You wont regret it.
Pretty much the coolest Goldwing on 🌎. Nice job. Cool as hell.
WOW THANKS!!
in love with this bike great job puts my 1100 to shame
amazing video! beautiful bike.
Thanks!
Beautiful job. Fantastic build. Would like to see some your tools, techniques & processes for the parts. I'm looking at an identical starter project bike right now ... so tempting.
Hey thanks. you definitely need to check out the rest of my videos then. you should totally get one, there awesome!
Love this Goldwing build. Just picked up an 1981 GL1100 this past week. Starting with small things first. Handlebars grips and mirrors to get rid of that older dated look. With the new bars did you have to get any risers for the handle bars to fit in there well? Picked up some similar bars off Amazon and fits but won’t go that far forward likes yours down do.
Beautiful bike. I always like to see what people can do with these old wings. I ride an '87 rat wing. I am slowly stripping things off but bags and box have to stay because I ride long distances. Don't have time to do much to my wing. I will arrive in the US next April and ride every day until August. If I have to work on the bike I borrow another bike and keep riding.
That's awesome! A lot of dedicated riding! Be safe out there!
@akaSuperJimmy Planning on a lot of riding in 2025. Leaving for the South of Argentina 4 January. That is a 5000 to 6000 mile trip. Purchasing a 2006 Triumph Tiger right now. I can ride that all summer and fix up the old Wing. Time to eat dinner and go for a ride.
That is one sweet bike you built
Thanks man!
Love this bike Jim you've done amazing job and it sounds great. The only thing I would change would be the bars maybe put cb750 bars on her 👍😀😀😀😀 Spike in the UK
Hay man! Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you like the build! Ya, the bars are definitely a person by person preference. Its a blast to drive tho!
Thanks for the subscription! And from the UK too, cool!
Excellent job....That's a beautiful bike...
Thank you very much! I'm glad you like it!
