Hello all,
I have recently purchased my first goldwing, a 1983 GL1100 I, in pretty good condition this fall. I have been able to get her undressed, but find I have many questions as I have never had a bike this large. I am hoping to do some cafe/brat styling to her as the winter season goes along, and am happy for advice along the way. I have already found the 'shoptalk' forum extremely helpful dismantling the front faring!
I am wondering if a build thread would be best- is that what folks around here do?
Super excited to be a part of something new!

83 is one of the very best years.....linked brakes, TRAC anti-dive forks, cast aluminum wheels, can run the air shocks at zero psi, self-canceling turn signals.....and Colorado winding roads....jealous SIGH.
You found the right place.

Northern Colorado- I actually bought it with a Wyoming title. Only $1000!

fortunately- he had just reduced the price before I picked it up. It was one of those situations where he had to get rid of it before winter- LUCKY ME!
