Hello from Newcastle UK

[GrassBox]

Hi,
I'm a new member located in the UK, Newcastle upon Tyne. Aka Geordie land.
I've owned a 1975 GL1000 K0 for 4 years now. I'm ashamed to say it's sat in the garage gathering dust for the last 3 years. I'm determined to make time and ride it this summer though.
The bike is a USA import. It spent the first 30 years of its life in Colorado.
I found your forum via Youtube and a very helpful video on carb balancing posted by one your members.
Best regards
Paul

Welcome to Classics. It is a crime to let something that looks that nice sit in the garage. Nice Wing. :good:

Howdy and welcome to CGW GrassBox. Super nice bike you have there. I would be interesting in learning the paint code or hearing from you verifying that the color is called "Candy Blue Green Special". I think I have a picture of your bike that I got off the web. My 86 1200 was repainted by a previous owner and the paint codes were not available and I'm trying to match the colors on it for some touch up work.

Nice colour - I have always had a soft spot for the naked wings but I ended up with an Aspencade instead.
There is a site devoted to the nakeds if you are interested.

Just a thought = hope it helps.

Welcome, GrassBox, from Southern California! My first Wing was a '75 - same color as yours, but not nearly as nice! Enjoy the ride!

Me on the '75, way back in '93.

My first: A 1975 GL1000, bought in '93 for $500. It was running, but sounded terrible. It turned...

Thanks for the welcome guys.

Dan Filipi, thank you for the vid on balancing the carbs. Its running a bit better now.
I'll check the air/fuel mix next. Looking for a vid on using colortune!

Backlander, sorry, I've got no info on paint codes or actual colour name. It's just down as 'blue' on all the paperwork I've got.
Don't think that pic is of my bike!?

DavidMantle, thanks for info on naked wings site.
