New to me 82 GL1100 standard.
I picked up this beauty a week ago and replaced the timing belts, adjusted the valve lash, and replaced the spark plugs last weekend. I found it at such a bargain that I thought I would flip it in the spring for a nice profit. But the more time I spend on it the more I really like this bike. The simple, solid, elegance just speaks to me in a way most bikes don't. Usually I curse the engineers. I think I may just keep this one.

Thank you. I live right at the foot of the SC mountains. We get enough warm days through the winter that my bikes never go into hibernation.

Welcome from Wisconsin. I'm kind of partial to the 1100's myself. Enjoy the ride!

that's why i love living in california. Aside from all the liberals, wildfires, massive amounts of people, and poor air quality, it's a good place for a biker to live.stretch160 wrote:Thank you.
