As luck would have it a 85 Honda Goldwing GL1200 Aspencade popped up on craigslist for $150 + delivery fees. Talked to him and
Offered him $150 delivered since I live just a few miles away and after a day of "someone else is coming" I got the message saying "you can have it for the price you offered if you're still interested" so I lept on it.The transmission, brakes and electrical are all good. I was actually riding this bike early this year. One of the timing belt covers worked lose and the belt ate the cover gasket, jumping a few teeth in the process. I got it readjusted, but it still wouldn't start so I suspect bent valves. Other issues are it needs new tires. They both slowly go flat. Front fork seals are shot. It has an aftermarket alternator kit on it so the original stator is probably bad. The left mirror is taped/glued in place. Blue was not the original color. It was rather amatureishly done and looks better at a distance. Gas in the tank has been there since about mid summer. Also, the carbs are in desperate need of a good time up and sync.
It'll be getting brought by tomorrow morning at 8am. Once I tear into it some I'll post a thread documenting my progress. I'm quite excited to say the least!
Here is a pic from the ad.
