Honda GL1000 Goldwing 1976

This distinctive, early model GL1000 Goldwing has been part of my collection since originally imported in January 2012. The previous owner was a 70 plus year old character who spent a lot of money on customising the bike into the distinctive and head-turning machine that it remains today. The bike boasts a beautifully sculpted, custom king and queen seat with the lucky pillion enjoying a plush backrest as well as padded arm rests. The bike is well featured with custom accessories all around and includes a Vettor Limited Edition full fairing. Paintwork has a few chips and touch ups chrome is in average to good condition. Panniers are easily removed and are wired for lights. Apart from the occasional engine run the bike remained in my shed as part of a larger collection for several years. More recently I have spent approx. $3500 on brakes overhaul, new fluids, plugs, points, condenser, carbs removed and cleaned and new front tyre. The bike starts fine and after warming up runs well at open road speeds, however it would still benefit from having the carbs properly balanced. A new WOF has just been issued and I have just put 6 months rego on the bike. Hard to know what this bike is worth but I will let the auction run and see where it ends. Reserve is well below what the bike owes me but it has to find a new home as I no longer have the space. I have already sold several of my bikes so now getting down to the last couple. Please note that odometer reading is in miles.
