I tried to post another picture of the Executive in my gallery. It is from Mick Walker's account of Honda model mostly from the UK. It was a promotoinal picture for the model hence the "model" Dinah May on the saddle.
Maybe one of the more experienced members can help post it to this thread.
Sorry for my inexperience and welcome. It is great to hear about an Executive GL1000

I'm sure you meant to say "Fortunately." If you think GoldWing maintenance is expensive.......

Welcome silverfox, now where do I find a seat accessory like that? :P :-D :shock:
It does not matter what you ride. Just get out and ride. They were made for riding. Chrome only looks good when it is moving down the highway.

Hi Silverfox I see that you have an executive with N°34, my name is Davie Wood and I have N°35 which I purchased back in 2018 that had been under a tarpaulin for 18 years it is a complete bike but needs the chrome sorting have you had much luck in tracking down any more of the elusive 52 executives.
I am currently rebuilding it hopefully have it sorted out by end of April.
Cheers Davie

Silverfox sadly passed away early in 2020. He was a friend of mine and I miss him. I purchased Executive No. 34 from him around 2011 and rebuilt her and got her running. I have taken her to vintage shows every year until that Covid thing put our lives on hold.
Still have her.
