Looks very nice, you must be pleased with your efforts.
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.

Absolutely fantastic job - just beautiful! Wherever you take that baby, people are going to ask if it's brand new.
Just noticed that you're from S. Maine - a neighbor. We'll have to meet up for a GL ride.
Congrats on a very fine restoration.

You guys are most kind. I certainly couldn't have accomplished it without the expertise from many of the members of this forum. I know I have bugged a lot of you and asked lots of questions. There is so much expertise from the members here it's phenomenal. There were several times when I just wanted to give up on it and sell it for parts but I guess my stubbornness prevailed!

Beautiful restoration! A lot of hard work went into this and it shows. Thanks for sharing.

Looks great. If it runs as well, you've got some miles ahead of you. Good work!
Goldwings don't accelerate, they gain inertia.
1978 GL1000 - almost stock - needs a head replaced, parts are ready to install!
1979 GL1000 - Winter project/parts bike - custom "Busted"
1983 GL1100 Standard- raised from the dead and back to organ donor status
And the newest acquisition, 1979 XS 650F to be a sidecar tug.
