1978 Honda Gold Wing, 55000 miles, Exterior: Black, VIN: GL14004843, This Goldwing is an ORIGINAL gl1000. Original paint, Original exhaust, everything except the seat, and its a new old stock right down to the gold lettering on the back of the seat. Still have the factory seat that came on it but it is torn in a seam.This bike has always been treated very gently as the photos show. It runs just like it did in 1978. As you know this bike has a carburetor not fuel injected, therefore it is cold natured on cold starts, once warmed up she purrs like a kitten. I bought the bike in Miami Florida. It ran and started great, but I went ahead and changed the pet cock valve on the gas tank, the fuel lines, fuel filter and the fuel pump, so as not to have any fuel delivery problems. I have ridden the bike for a year and a half and not touched anything else except added a new set of Avon tires.The harder you run it the better it runs, just like it was in 1978. This bike looks good even underneath the exhaust and under the fenders. Play close attention to the photographs. The condition is in the details. When you see how good this original black paint is you realize the treatment this wing has had for the last 38 years. Still has the original owners manual in perfect condition along with the factory tool pouch and tools. Appears that they have never been used. I am moving so I am selling all my bikes except one. The story on this wing is, it was bought by a fireman in Coral Gables Florida, who owned it for 21 years. He came to the same dealership where he bought in Coral Gables and traded it in on a new Goldwing. A customer was standing there and bought it on the spot. He owned it for 14 years and sold it to a friend because he was moving out of the country. I bought it from the friend. There are many 1978 Goldwings on the market for sale but you will look long and hard to find one that is in this condition that has not been restored. They are only original one time. Thats what makes this one special. I hope to sell to a new owner who will continue the gentle treatment it is used to.
