I let change the belts last week on my 86 GL1200A (no able to do it myself), they were 28 years old, still the original ones i've been told (can you see it?). I've the bike 2 years and made 5k miles on it. They also told me another 5k miles would'n go with them. Well, they are down. I also changed all fluids and filters. I have a new bike now!
Thank you to you and to the forum writting about how important to change belts if you do not know how old they are! I buyed a yamaha xt600e from 1991 with aprox. 20000 miles on it for $1000 in a good shape tecs and ok on plastics, this for fun. It's little different to a GL, in every sense. Now I have enough bikes to go through the winter doing some works on them that I think I could manage myself.
