Re: rudolphwolven Project goldwing
Absolutely fabulous work, followed your build with the excellent pictures and what you have achieved is amazing. You must be very proud of your results.
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.

- 1) VHT Engine light primer...................Art.nr: SP-148 (2 Pcs. Spraycan 400 ml)
- 2) VHT Engine universal aluminium......Art.nr: SP-127 (2,5 Pcs. Spraycan 400 ml)
- 3) 2 Component-(gloss)clearcoating from: AUTO-K-Spraymax 2K Klarlack Hochglanz (incl. Härter) Sprühdose 400ml........Art.nr: 680061 (3 Pcs. "two in one"-spraycan 400 ml.) (better resistant against petrol and oil)
Very nice,glossy and "hard" total result !
Frame:
Initially: primercoat, black glosspaint and gloss clearcoat (VHT)......result was not satisfactory because the gloss clearcoat was (strangely) reducing the gloss of the black paint
Started over again: with a general type of black glosspaint and no clearcoating.
Headers/exhaust:
Initially: 3 layers VHT SP-100 Flame Proof Primer (704-1093 gr. C.) und 3 layers VHT SP-102 Flat Black Flameproof (Silica-Ceramic Coating / 704-1093 gr. C.).........was not a succes at all; within 30 minutes of running the engine the black top layer started curling off by unknown reasons / could be my fault during the process / was not reproducable "why/how" / the VHT grey primer remained excellent.
Started over again: with use of the existing grey VHT primer coating I applyied a 2 layer matt black heatproof exhaustcoating (800 degr. C.) from MOTIP-Duplicolor..........after running the bike the result remains excellent.
Naked alu-parts:
After matt-polishing (No mirror/chrome aspirations) covered by 2-3 layers of 2 Component-(gloss)clearcoating from: AUTO-K-Spraymax 2K Klarlack Hochglanz (incl. Härter) Sprühdose 400ml........Art.nr: 680061 (3 Pcs. "two in one"-spraycan 400 ml.)

Re: rudolphwolven Project goldwing
Absolutely beautiful work! Ruud, you have every right to be proud of what you've accomplished. What a beautiful example of a perfectly, "refreshed", "survivor!"
After 40 years, it's not too often, one gets the chance to see, what "Mother Honda," intended the GL1000 to be!
