New to the Group 1976 GL1000 LTD
Just acquired a 76 GL1000 LTD. Stating taking it apart and in researching, I found this awesome Forum. Thanks to all that have contributed!!
The bike is all complete. Been sitting awhile but I got it started just to make sure the engine ran. I am taking her all the way down and all the way back up again.
I have a 2016 GoldWing as my daily driver.
Now if I can find some info on the the Hand Controls refurbishment as they are sunburned pretty good.
Thanks for letting be part of the group!!

Welcome to the site from the UK, which part of the planet do you call home?
This is a great place to get info and help, sure someone will be along soon to give you a tip to refurbish your controls. Be nice to see some pics.
