Hi, new here......I didn't know there was a Naked GoldWing board until I was looking for front fork diagrams. Glad I found this site!

Re: New GoldWing member
Welcome from Wisconsin! The 1100's are actually pretty easy to get naked, especially if you're not concerned with it being 100% stock. You don't mention how far along you are in the process, but if you have any questions, the gang here will surely put in their 2 cents worth.
If you haven't done so already, it is highly recommended that you change the timing belts! There's a link in my signature to a nice writeup on common issues with 'new2me' Wings. Oh, and we LOVE pics, lol!
Enjoy the ride!

Re: New GoldWing member
Great crew here, Welcome and enjoy the ride.
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.
