I need 1975 GL1000 owners help please

[Dangeruss]

I love looking at the "puzzle" of early Goldwing manufacturing. Just to add a sorta off topic observation:

1975 #15290 (of 20691 total) was manufactured 6/75.
1976 #10653 (of 41275 total) was manufactured 8/75.

1. Between some time in June 1975 and some time in August 1975, some 16000 (5401 75's and 10653 76's) Goldwings were manufactured.

I have #GL1-1018858 made in 6/75

Excellent. At lease that is finally made clear.
Appreciate it Roncar.

I have GL1-1007799, which I believe is a low number for Australian delivery. We had no Vin Plates fitted until May or June of 1975, so my bike does not have a manufacture date on it.

OK so here's a recap.

1000040 Dec74. US
1000051. Jan75 US
1000104. Jan75. US
1002660. Mar75 US
1004819. Apr75 US Ken Roosa's "Marilyn" update
1007799 Apr75? AU
1009973 Apr75. US
1011165. May75. US
1012526. May75 US On eBay now
1015002 Jun75 US
1015290. Jun75. US
1017602. Jun75 US. On eBay now
1018793 Jun75. US
1018858. Jun75. US

Let me know any corrections or additions. I am still looking for Jan/Feb data as this will tell a great deal about the GL1000 build timeline. Thank you

OK guys,
I have gathered a good many more to add to the list and now I need Wings made above Jan/75 #1000192 and below Feb/75 #1000824.

Thanks

Pistol Pete,

I will have to confirm later, as I just loaded the bike onto a ship to move it from the US to the UK (visiting vehicle), but I have 1000431, made in 2/1975.

I also have 5502, but I will have to confirm date of manufacture by going out to my storage shed across town. I'll try to do that later today.

Pete,

I just went into my photos, and although (to my great chagrin) I can't find a clear shot of the panel, it surely looks like my wing #1000431 was made in MARCH, not in Feb. What does that do for you? (I'll send a better pic when it arrives here in Aberdeen! Yay!)

Regards,

Diesel

I went to my shop and photo'd the one there:

Please note: I incorrectly thought my VIN ended in 5502 when it is actually 5022. Sorry!

So then what was going on between 040 and 051?

[Irishman1]

Hey there ! My 3 75's are as follows;
ruthe's red 75 is a 2/75. Gl1-1001658
My yellow 75 is 3/75, gl1003077
My new red 75 is 5/75 gl1-1010930

[theburgundian]

hey pistol pete!
sorry for you but mine is numbered GL1-2000276
I don't have a serial plate on my wing, I just have this number engraved on the frame, between the triple trees

I was forced to grind the paint to ensure the number and make a decent picture

[Tuono]

I just acquired #279 manufactured 1/75.

[Gowing]

My 75 is #1010920 dated 05/75
I looked at the ten pics I took trying to balance bike and flashlight and camera.
This is the best.
