I may have to change my Avatar, I've been waiting for the right wing to come along and ............It has arrived, not in time to get to the Big Sur meet but there's always next time. My loss but the Ole' Gl1000 just wasn't up to it. SO i picked this up this morning from a private party about 40 mikes south.

After having it for 2 days and checking all I can, there were a couple of bad fuses and I will be bleeding the clutch after work, it's a little spongy and the reservoir was low.
So far all systems work, charges at idle at 14.2. cb tape deck digital displays all work. On board air good, new tires, original leather bound owner's manual and tool bag and Special edition cover. It has 68XXXK, I paid less than $2k

About the Owl on the gas flap, the Wife like's it, I'm undecided.

Thanks for the pictures. The bike looks great and a great price. Just what I am going to look for.
congrats for your dream bike. it's the one i would like to own. in the mean time i ride my 86 with carbs. i love these 1200 gls.
 
mine starts and runs like a new bike , it has well over 100,000 miles on it . gets 42 MPG uphill or down , 40 mph or 80 mph . I have never owned any bike that runs and pulls as smooth as my SE-I . :good:
