Hows It going Peeps. Its about time I get this bike Finished! From the struggles and learning process off building a bike from the ground up, minus the 2nd hand engine Enjoy :) and subscribe for more....
Good to see a younger generation getting into the old Honda's, look after them and they will give you years of biking pleasure. My fave is the cb 750 four K7, if anyone knows of a roadworthy one going cheapish, I'm up for one.
No disrespect intended, but these GL1000/1100/1200 engines have a lot of little foibles that need to be addressed before firing them up properly. Cam belts MUST be replaced if you don't know how old they are or if the engine has been standing for a long time. They may look OK but if they break or slip, the engine will be wrecked. The carbs WILL need cleaning and cleaning again and preferably all rubber and plastic parts replaced with ethanol-proof items. Float heights must be spot-on. It looks like your carbs are flooding, judging by the unburnt fuel coming out of the exhaust ports. These engines will hydrolock if flooded with fuel. Please log on to Goldwingdocs forum and read some of the many posts for advice, before going any further. I know it's exciting and easy to get carried away but these engines do need extra attention to get/keep them running without damage. You'll love it when it's done - PROPERLY. Oh and the fuel system must be SCRUPULOUSLY clean.
If you need to replace the cam belt idler bearings , there is a common hyundai/kia bearing you can use . Drill out the old shaft to 12mm and counter sink the back , bolt new bearing on and use loctite 12mm countersink bolt and nyloc nut . Cheers

That flickering light makes this hard to watch (without having a stroke).... please address this for future videos.
Yeah someone said that, have to change the frame rate
The spars of the front fork are crooked and need to be replaced. Have fun screwing.
