Proud owner of a 1977 GL1000
This is my first GW, but not my first Honda. I have two CB750's, a 1970 and a 1976. Great bikes and Im sure I'll feel the same way about the Wing as soon as I get on the road. Here's a few pics of it the day I bought it on the trailer bringing it home It's a original, low mileage bike and just needs the general stuff (tires,brakes,t/belts, tune-up,etc.) and some TLC that bikes need after 37 years that been stored away for a while. Last inspection sticker on front fork is from 2001.

Welcome to the Wingdom! Please check in at the SHOPTALK part of this site for answers to many technical & maintenance questions. For the rest of your questions, you can ask the members. They are all eager to help. Oh, and pictures, we like pictures of you build!
I failed to mention that first event you need to schedule is updating your timing belts! Cascade Cycles (a sponsor here) offers a New2U kit that includes the belts and a thermostats and such for a really good price.

Re: Proud owner of a 1977 GL1000
Welcome to the NGW site. Your nearly new bike is a beauty. At the rate of 500 miles a day your bike is about a month old. Of course 37 years takes a toll on rubber and rust finds its way into brake systems and gas tanks etc. Take your time, budget $450 for tires and a new battery and timing belts and misc. gaskets and seals and you will have a fantastic classic.
Been riding Hondas since 1964.
