Hiya, well I managed to find one then, been looking for a while. I originally wanted a wire wheel '75-'79 but they are getting too pricy for me so I have just pulled the trigger on a 1980 GL1100. Imported from the US in 2018 and not touched since. Tank rusty ect so got the tank out (thats a right of passage isnt it?). Anyway there is all the paint to do and all the usual servicing, belts and carbs to sort buy hey were on lockdown so I have the time just not really the money :roll:

Welcome from the desert region of Arizona USA.

Whereabouts are you located in the UK? I pulled into Portland Navy base on a submarine quite a few years ago and took a bus trip to London.

Nice bike. Good Luck with it.
