You would think that if Honda was making a commercial, they would have at least completed the bike... Where was the Honda nameplate on the forks?

If you aren't having fun doing it, find something else to do.

First thing I noticed also. Purposeful omission?

I didn't think the early models had the fork nameplates. My 76 doesn't, at least.
1997 Valkyrie- Light Cutomization, but Too Busy Riding
1980 KZ1300- Bike's Haunted
1976 GL1000 (Yellow)- It Runs (Poorly) and Doesn't Leak (Mostly)
1974 Velosolex 3800- Better Than Walking
1972 CB750- Broke the Chain And Ate the Motor
1969 CT90- The Most Fun You Can Have on 90ccs.
1965 CA77 Dream- Needs a Full Teardown, but Complete

All advice I give is only valid until an expert corrects me.

Front Fork name plates show up on 1978's I believe.
In 75 - 77 even the front forks were naked.

I think it is very interesting and cool that with all the bikes they could have included, they chose to include a GL.
