Just joined from Minnesota
Hey everybody, I'm pumped I found this site. I picked up a 1980 gl1100 this summer and have been replacing the usual stuff I.e. Belts, oil seals, water pump, wheel, bearings, brake redoes and new lines, rear shocks, fuses etc ...now to get rid of the windjammer and trunk. Where to start, I quess with the headlight and front signal....mine also looks like someone went after the signal mounts with a hacksaw...I wonder if the dealers did that back in the day when they put the windjammer on?
Anyone have a suggestion for a headlamp and front signals?
Thanks for any help!!

Re: Just joined from Minnesota
We are glad to have you here. It was typical for the dealers to saw the turn sig mounts off when putting a vetter on. Replacements are tough to come by, but are out there. As I recall, the 750's had the same turn sigs.
I found the end of the internet

Re: Just joined from Minnesota
Welcome from the UK. I also have a 1980 GL1100 and enjoyed (most of the time) getting it back on the road, but wouldn't have been possible without the help from people on here. As soon as you can post some pictures.
Previous Rides,
1980 CB250N Good to learn on
1981 CX500 good mid range tourer, went to Austria on it!
1983 GL1100C Pride and joy, sold when I bought my 1st house, big mistake
1985 GL650 Silverwing another mistake, horrible bike
1986 CBX550 Good commuter
1989 Suzuki GS750 (1976) cheap and cheerful until a dog ran out in front of me on Xmas Eve, 1991
Current bikes
2010 CB1300 back on a bike after 19 years, two divorces, children grown up etc
1980 GL1100 NOW ON THE ROAD, still use CB1300.
