Title: Help needed GL1000 project
Post by: Yorkie on October 04, 2016, 09:12:31 PM

I need some parts for GL1000 restoration, would appreciate if members can put me onto anyone wrecking a GL1000

Perhaps you could try this business in Adelaide and see what they have?   http://www.japanesemotorcycles.com.au/ (http://www.japanesemotorcycles.com.au/)

Thanks Pete, will ring in the morning although the parts I need are not available new or second hand anywhere on ebay, gumtree etc, if I am unable to get them I may have to scrap the project although I am already into it for around $2.5k and it was a freebie basket case.

G,day

What parts were you chasing for your Gold Wing?.

I have a mate who has a couple. He tossed the motor and replaced it with a VW unit and then upgraded it to a 4.4.litre V8 Leyland P76 motor

Regards

John

A friend involved with the Goldwing club suggested wingworks: http://www.wingworks.com.au/index.php (http://www.wingworks.com.au/index.php)

Thanks guys, I have 3 motors, parts needed are various frame parts, Wingworks only do the restore and won't sell parts and the Donnybrook is a later model, some parts will fit but not all changes were made after 77

I vaguely remember seeing one of these just after they came out. Hard to believe it's the humble beginning of a GL1800.

Nice work.
