Hi Guys and Girls

I am a new owner of a 1979 GL1000 As this is the biggest bike that I have ever owed, I was directed here in hopes of finding some wisdom and maybe a few good leads on parts for my new toy. Not sure where to post a picture of the toy, but as I go along I do hope to show you picture's

Best Regards
Kevin

Welcome from Solina, Ontario Kevin. This is a very helpful site. Lots of real friendly folks.
You and me have something in common. I've got a '78 GL1000 that I bought new. You can get very attached to these bikes.

Good luck...anim-cheers1 ...Dave
