Hello, I just got back from a long road trip to Virgina (590 miles one way) to pick up my dream. I am now a proud owner of a 1983 GL1100 Aspencade. It's not perfect, but it's mine.
I hope to get some timing belts replaced (have no idea if they were ever replaced before) and to start riding it soon (well as soon as the snow gets off the roads). Just pulled it off the trailer tonight, and started it, let it warm up, and played with the digital dash, and the air compressor (it all seems to work). The radio, and CB don't seem to work, but I don't really know because I don't know the system well, and the volt meter doesn't work, but that's it the rest of the bike works. Runs a bit rough right now, but I am going to adjust the valves and go through the carbs when I replace the timing belts. I'm 99% sure that a valve adjustment and carb sync will be all it needs to be smooth as silk. I'm so excited. :yahoo:
About me... My name is Tim, they call me Krazy because I ride my GL500i through any weather Michigan has to offer, and for quite some time it was my only vehicle, and I was happy with that. I tow a trailer with my GL500i and will be looking for a trailer hitch for the GL1100A. if I don't find one soon, for less than I can build one for I will just stop being lazy and build one.
