Although I had a CD of the GL1000 Honda Service Manual and a Haynes GL 1000-1100 service manual too, I can't locate them after my wife did some organizing last summer while I was healing elsewhere with my broken leg!
Therefore, I don't have a reference source for the rear engine cover's cap screw torque. Maybe 100 in/lbs.?
Also, is there a rear cover capscrews' torquing sequence illustration in any of those publications?
If so, I would be grateful if one of my fellow NGW Club mates would post the illustration here in.
Thanks!

Standard 6mm torque spec is 90-108 in-lbs. in most manuals. For a cover I've never seen a sequence but you could do a criss cross pattern or star like Rat suggested. I just make sure the cover is pushed down good, snug the bolts up, then torque to 108.

If you need a copy of the FSM for the GL1000 I have one that I can send you in a PDF via Google Drive. The specs as quoted are good and just in a star sequence as suggested. I picked up a nifty in-lb. little torque wrench from your equivalent of Harbour Freight on sale for $20.00. Great addition to the tool box for the small torque specs bolts/nuts.
