Newbie Here
Hi Newbie here, From Ohio allways loved the old wings currently ride a 2013 gl1800 F6b and have been looking for an old one to do a little restoration on. Found a 1980 gl1100 im going to look at tomorrow it starts and runs current owner says it needs a rear master cylinder. I'm sure it needs more than just that but I'm gonna go take a look, it looks like an interstate has fairing and bags, he is asking $900.00 or BO gonna see what i can buy it for. What is a good price for this? Thanks

Re: Newbie Here
Welcome from Wisconsin. In my area, a 'rider' 1100 that needs work would sell between $500 and $1000, depending on mileage, tires, etc. This time of year, probably on the lower end of that scale. My 2 cents... Good luck!

"Needs rear master cylinder."
Most likely it needs the rear brake cylinder refurbished and the mc is OK.
I have two that were parked by the PO for that same reason and the rotors are scored and the cylinders are frozen on the slide pins.

Welcome, from another newbie from Ohio. I'm the process of acquiring an old 'wing too! Good luck with your purchase. I've found it's good to have more than one bike.
