Sounds like the salvage yard by my house. No matter how rusty or bent a part is
they talk about what excellent shape it's in.

No, the spots on tank are rust bubbels. The tank is rusted from the
inside, out. The large bubbled areas on the passenger side, are from
water that collected under the decal edge, and worked its way down
under the decal.Anyone have an NOS, or mint blue '84 tank??

Good question.
Compared to my NH750, first impression is just pure riding comfort.
You hear people say it's an old man's bike. Well, I AM
I was talking about Houston Cycle Salvage in Pasadena. Union doesn't make
any claims, and more of their stuff is indoors, but it's disorganized and
dirty, and already heavily picked through.

I just checked the WEB. It is black with Chrome striping on the tank. It is
the 82.

Must be a 82 then because it had manual clucth cable and not hydraulic

I have the same bike, and I agree with all your descriptions. Coming from
the NH 750, I found the whole position, weight and dimensions really odd,
but after few days I got really used to it. I have used as a daily commute
and it is being really cool. I have also taken it to twisty roads and she
I agree Javier. I've taken my '85 LE GW out a few times in this warm weather.
Being a little fellow (Graham, small short fellow) I find it a bit awkward at
stops and at the bottom of our drive way.

*Ron I think your assessment of the GL1100 is insightful and comprehensive.
And you're right, the low-speed footwork issue improves with time.
Personally that was my 5th Goldwing so I was more accustomed to adjusting.
Obviously you can remove the engine guards if you desire. I only put them
on so

Agreed!!! The Wing was built from the beginning for two-up riding and
that's one place it shines brightly. :) I

At over 6 feet tall my gl 1200 is a great height for me. I can flat foot it on
both sides no problem. Mine is 700 pounds dry by the book and is beast
compaired to the bike i sold to get it (99 nh 250) but the handeling and power
trumps all when its moving!

Got a kick out of your comment, Mrs. Kindy. I've been drooling over
Naked Wings for about a year now, but price vs. condition vs.
proximity were all over the lot. (From $700/needs work, locally, to
$10k/show
Ha. Wonder if this one is still available...
http://winstonsalem.craigslist.org/mcy/2825084111.html - but it's sat for
2 years and needed some work before that...
Still, I like my 750 and don't really have space for a bigger bike, much
less 2. Probably will go for something bigger in a while,
85 could be carbed or injected, starters are a pain to swap
out, batteries are no big deal.. i would say that if its injected that
would be a deal breaker... they started an injected option in 85 and stoped
only a few years later because they could never get them to run right
On Fri, Mar 9,
the bars on the fux tank confuse me.. but i like them... bike is NOT an
89... not a bad deal, i would bump it while loading on a trailer to make
sure the trans and engine arent locked up... but these bikes arent known
for that... and the style looks like a carb not injected... if it will
clean up
Thanks for the clarification. I wouldn't have known the difference between
the two.

I have an injected 1985 GW Limited Edition. It really runs smooth and is easy
to start. The previous owner, who owned it for 22 years said it was always
easy to start. He had it meticulously maintained. By the way I know where
there is another '85 Limited Edition , front fairing is a wright
you must have found the 2 rare ones, that is just what i came across when
doing my home work before buying mine. and the starter on mine looks easy
to do, but my mechanic buddy says otherwise... lets hope i never have to
find out

The '84 GL1100 of last year I found in a barn. The owner said the front wheel
was bent and the charging system was bad. My son and I went out and looked at
it. It was covered in dust but looked good otherwise. I had David push down
on the back end while I spun the front wheel - no bend in
sure, we love pics here...
might i bring up the notion of a sub group called wings and things again??
