  • In this video, we try to get this 1983 Honda GL1100 Goldwing running. It's been sitting in this guy's barn for 9 or 10 years. Will it run??? Of course it will...its a Honda. Also, we do a full carburetor sync. Hope you guys enjoy. Like, comment, and subscribe for more.

    Like a trip down memory lane. I recently rebuilt an 81’ GL1100.
    Stripped all that add on crap off and made her look like factory once again. She sat unloved for 5 years in a backyard in eastern Canada, I don’t think there is any part on my bike that I haven’t touched.
    I’ve since put around 11,000km on her in the past 2 years.
    Have fun with her, great bike, so happy I put the time and love into mine.
    Can’t wait for spring!!

      Hell yeah! Thanks for watching. You just can't kill these old Honda's. I'm so stoked for summer. I'll make a riding video when the snow melts. Stay tuned!

    Nicest model of goldwing ever made before it was turned into a battleship. Remember when it first came out.

      I agree! They just don't make bikes like they used to.

    Honda Pro Technician tip, you definitely need to change timing belts if you can't positively prove the history of them.
    To make the job 150 percent easier and more efficient.
    Take a 10 m.m. combination wrench, 12 point box on 1 end, open on the other, doesn't matter the brand, cut it in half. Now weld a 12 inch piece of flat or round stock to connect the 2 halves. Now you can just stand off to the side and remove the belt cover bolts, easy peasy. It saves so much undue hassle.
    Good luck with the old girl.

      Thanks for the tip, ill give it a shot! I actually have timing belts on order already. Should be here in a day or so. Thanks for watching! Ride Hard Brother.

    You can't beat a Honda. I bought a GL 550 Silverwing that had sit for 10 years. I changed the oil, put new plugs and a battery, and rode it for 2yrs trouble free

    😜 I only paid $300 for my 81... 😬 It's sat for 15 years... 😢 Unfortunately mine's not running as good... 🤔 I think I'm going to have to rebuild my carbs... 🙏🏻 You should send me those gaskets, lol... ❤ I really love that flamed seat... 🔥 I'm thinking of doing a flamed paint job mine... 😉 So if it's in good shape and you wanna let it go let me know...

    Looks good. Make sure you do the timing belts. It's an interference engine and if the timing belt breaks it's junk

      Awesome. Thanks for the share! Yeah I totally agree, there's just something about a naked goldwing that just draws you in. Stay tuned, I'll be doing a lot more videos with this bike once the snow melts. Thanks for watching.

    The fairing and luggage were built by Craig Vetter . Honda was the second company to use his product. BSA hurricane was the first .

    • @MeleeMotors
      @MeleeMotors  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I wish it was a wind jammer built by Vetter. This one was actually made by the brand Pacifico called the shadow classic fairing. Practically worthless in my opinion. I like keeping bikes OEM. Thanks for watching!!
