1978 Honda GL1000 GoldWing "Sympathetically Restored Survivor".Here is spectacular 1978 Honda GL1000 in deep gloss Honda Black OR the originalGradeur Blue paint. It is in excellent, unmolested condition. The pictures reallytell the story of low mileage, sympathetically restored, naked Gold Wing. Build Date of3/78.If you have been looking for one of these, this one isreally remarkably clean and pristine for its age. Bike was alwaysprofessionally stored and cared for.The bike was imported from America (Texas) in 2014 to add to mycollection. The UKregistration process has been completed nd the bike comes with the V5 document, age related plateand current MOT which expires in June but which I'll do before collection to take it to June 2017. The bike has done less than 500 milessince its first MOT in June 2014 june, just run it enough to keep things workingproperly. Everything factory stock is there ??“ the seat; the rear grabbar; the handlebars, the chrome tip handlebar grips, one year only gauges; thenon-literature HM431 exhaust; the original fuel filter clamp for factory Hondafuel filters. Note is has the dipstick for oil at front of radiator. The sightglasses on GoldWings are useless ??“ they are only good when brand new and itrequires two man operation to get the correct oil level. Dipstick is cool.Put bike on centre stand. That's it.Starts instantly, idles and runs perfectly like fresh fromthe assembly line. No oil leaks. No coolant leaks. No smoke. No misses. Norattles. Quiet. Tight. Smooth as very smooth thing.Mechanically is fantastic.

Chrome is fantastic.Aluminum cases, forks, covers are really good in my opinion.No dents or creases in fenders.Everything works ??“ horns, lights, signals. Has all of theoriginal 78 lighting ??“ quartz headlight, all signal and taillight lens etc.Exhaust is excellent ??“ no holes, no repairs.Rims only show very minor signs of tire mounting.Toolkit all there and in excellent condition with theoriginal blue fold out bag.Owners manual ??“ in excellent condition, no markings inoriginal plastic pouchThe tank shelters arenot cracked. Paint is non-faded. The original Honda hinges and cable stays arethere ??“ rare on old Wings!!The Black bodywork is immaculate .... and mean IMMACULATE and is original Honda from '78 and refinished and deep polished by Bike Paints in Scotland inner facings also painted !On the original Grandeur Blue bodywork there is scratch on the LH sidecover and scratch on theRH shelter. left them untouched and as the pictures show they are still easilly useable and in fabulous condition for the bikes age.NOTE The bike will be supplied with EITHER the Black bodywork OR the Gradeur Blue bodywork the surplus set will be available on first refusal basis to the new owner for an additional ??500) There are also some minor marks on thesilencers picked up during shipping across the Atlantic ??“ nothing much again look at the pictures unless you look REALLY hard these are very diffiult to spot.
