Hello everyone and thanks for watching!! So I’ve got a lot of comments saying this engine isn’t a v6 and it’s a flat 6 or boxer style, which I KNOW!!!!! When your on camera it’s kinda hard to think sometimes so it slipped.. forgive me.. I’m also trying to get part 2 out asap but I’ve been suffering from having the flu 😖 so bear w me, thanks guys for the love and support!!❤😊

These older barn/yard finds are a lot of fun to get going again. I've done up three early 80's Goldwing's. I did an 84 that had been literally driven into a farm machine shed, parked on a sheet of plywood and left for 19 years. Hooked up a battery and it turned over like it had been shut off an hour previous!! A bath and about 80 hours to clean, adjust, replace, blah blah blah, and it was ready for the road. Unfortunately it was too heavy and too high for my short 70+ old legs. I sold it for a reasonable profit and the new owner is on the road ever chance he gets.

lets clarify, no cadillac was ever built as well as any honda, this honda rides like a cadillac, and will run forever like all hondas. get it started, its worth it, because its a honda.

You sound an act so casual but you are so technical, that makes it very watchable. Thank you

As someone who a) loves to see old bikes repaired and b) has a long-standing secret desire for one of these late-70s Goldwings, this was a very enjoyable watch (even though I’m no mechanic). Straight to part 2 for me! :) 🇬🇧

Amazing how people "do not" take care of things. Hats off to you to keep it alive.

Great to see someone work in such a calm and methodical manner. No hammering or bashing, just taking the time to do it right.

Nothing can kill Japanese equipment from 80s👍😁

As an owner of a 2018 Goldenwing DCT, non-tour, I’m grateful for all previous generation of Goldwing that helped develop the motorcycle I ride today. I am blown away at how incredible these bikes are. Love seeing you work on the GL1500 and am amazed at how knowledgeable and skilled you are. I was fixated on the video and can’t wait for part 2! Subscribed! Ride safe…

I bought a Goldwing a few years back in about the same condition but was diagnosed with cancer shortly after. However I'm better now and can't wait to get back on the road. Congratulations on a great purchase 👍

Honda is almost the only who continue to sell everything of his old motorcycle, everything also for older ones, so good choice 😉

Wow! I don't know how you keep track of all the wiring! I thought i was doing good to give my 99 valkyrie a carb job and replace fork seals! This has blown my mind. I wouldn't even CONSIDER attempting this. Great content. Thank you.

It’s amazing how the pressure washer just cuts thru the 21 year grime like knife thru butter! Super awesome project, makes me want to get one too. Always loved the old Hondas and Kawasakis. They really were like Cadillacs of their day!

Nice, I have a 2020 Honda Monkey with $3000 in mods. And a 2021 Harley Heritage. I’ll be at Sturgis this year with my job, the Vietnam Traveling Wall.

Old Gold Wings last forever. Shadetree Surgeon here on KZfaq is riding one from the 80's firing on only one cylinder and it's his daily rider. 😁His Ducati Multistrada always needs work done to it and the dashboard has all kinds of warning lights lit up. Hehehe!

Holy Frijoles! You are definitely a brave man, taking on a Goldwing. There might be a bike out there that's more of a pain to work on, but it doesn't immediately occur to me what it might be...

You are one patient and methodical guy. Nice work!

It's a good job you have so much patience and skills to do this job. I have always loved the old Gold Wings but I had no idea just how complicated they are. A real work of art. I cannot wait to see it finally completed and running for the first time. The first journey out will be a wonderful experience.

Neat trousers, LoL. I'm 82yo and ridden British and Japanese bikes all my life since the mid 1950s including a time when i was a motorcycle Highway Cop here in New Zealand. The GoldWing was my dream bike, sadly i could never afford one. The closest i got was, i have owned at different times two 1986 Honda CB 750 F2 models complete with full fairing. I just loved those bikes, much more superior to any other bikes i had owned including British Patrol bikes i was privileged to ride during my Enforcement service. I followed this video with interest, you are truly a knowledgeable man. Robert

This is the best video about the GL1500 on KZfaq,you go straight to the point and know what you doing,no bullshit. Keep up the good work.

You are doing very well as far as I can tell, at fixing up this sophisticated old machine. I figured Honda would have used fuel injection in '88. Imagine my surprise? You'll have a nearly complete knowledge of the vehicle beneath the skin when you've got it done. Hats off to you buddy!

Another awesome video Darrell. I an amazed at how much you can do with heart problems. I commend you for that. I am also amazed at how you can disassemble things and get them put back together and make them work. Awesome content in your videos. Keep up the great work. Hope you get as well as you can as soon as you can. I wish you all the best. I am praying for you. Can't wait for the next video. I have watched EVERY one you have made so far.

Thanks for taking the time to record and share this with us. Can't wait for the next one.

I applaud your ability to go right into the fix and deal with whatever challenge you find. Inspiring. Best to you as you continue this rebuild. Anxious to see the results.

I bought a 1982 Goldwing Interstate from a wrecking yard for $175.00 last year. After a bath, a couple of tires and a battery. It looks beautiful, runs great and rides fine with the rear air shocks set to my short legs. My third Goldwing. Started with a 1984 1200, then a 2000 1500. Toured for about 15 years on them. Had a great time. Knew it would run because it's a Honda. Good luck with your project.

Friggin' amazing man! This thing was crusty, its coming along quite nicely, can't wait for the finished product, God bless!

Great work and video pal. Mix of work, great music choices and pooch petting 😂 looking forward to seeing the completed bike.

Waiting already for part 2, amazing skills you have indeed!

Nice to see someone just restore a well built original machine without pretending they know more than the original designers and "improve" anything. It's great to see a methodical restoration and replace when necessary and restore when possible. Good luck on part 2 and wish I could still ride, but I'll be there vicariously when you do.

Excellent video. Love how you're thoroughly going through this bike and restoring. The 1500, to me, was the first legitimate Goldwing. All of my family ride em. Makes me want one...lol. Looking forward to the next video. Good luck on this restore.

great work, big undertaking! cant wait to see pt 2

Awesome.Thanks for sharing and taking us along.Looking forward to Part 2

fantastic effort on that goldwing, so fascinating watching you pull it apart. you’ll be a master goldwing mechanic once finished, great work.. big respect 🇬🇧👍

Amazing work! Couldn’t believe how you remembered where everything went! Very knowledgeable and enjoyable video.

waiting for the part 2, i cant wait.... thank you for the video

WOW - very ambitious project! Good on you!! Love to see this old girl back on the road!! Staying tuned....

I have zero mechanical skills but enjoy watching others resurrect old and abused bikes etc. You remind me of a much younger version of Mustie1! I've subbed to the channel and looking forward to part 2. Greets from the 🇬🇧!

Hi, I'm new to your channel. I like to watch videos of old Gold Wings being brought back to working condition, but this is the most impressive one I've seen so far. After the first couple of minutes of the video I was thinking this bike was a lost cause, but you dove right in and started fixing it. Very impressive work. You definitely know your way around a Gold Wing! Can't wait to see part two.

Liked and subscribed. Cant wait for next part. Good luck mate. 🍻

Found you today, immediately subbed for you taking on this huge job alone without even watching the hole video. Great job man!

You repair guys never fail to astonish me with your skill. When I first started riding a moped, it was only 50 cc two-stroke and I could decoke the head just by removing four bolts. Magneto ignition and lights. Easy, even for me. But this, at the other end of the scale, would scare me shirtless. On the other hand, I'm installing all the software I need on my new laptop. Experience of a whole career in IT makes it easy for me. Keep this stuff coming and I can't wait to see the finished bike.

I’m rebuilding a 2001 Honda Shadow vt600 and that was complicated due to all of the vacuum hoses everywhere! But this is a whole other ball game. Dang! Respect bud!

Awesome, I watched with great intensity, brings me back to my younger years gliding through Europe on one.

I bought a 1976 GoldWing G1000 that was laying against a wall in a garage. It looked a lot worse then your bike. I put a few gallons of fuel in it a jumper cables and the thing started almost right up. With that I put new battery cleaned it up. New tires and a paint job and it was a great bike for quite a few years. My wife was pissed when I sold it. Great video.

You’re an excellent mechanic and you did a great job tackling all the repairs and cleaning that bike. Japanese motorcycles are just great bikes, so well build and designed.

Wow...that looked like such a daunting project once you got the covers off and let the daylight in. Honda certainly cram a a lot of stuff in there....but you tackled it with such ease and confidence....great job, buddy, really looking forward to the rest of the rebuild...😊👍

This was great to watch, looking forward to part 2.

Yoooo.. first video of yours I've ever watched. You earned the sub, bro. Love your style! Can't wait to see more!

A hell lot of appreciation for your work behind camera.I can see how you enjoy working on this machine.that Japanese machine and it's engineering big namaste to those engineering ❤❤❤❤ Love from India 🍉

What a cool find . Looking forward to part 2 .

First time im in this channel...and I'm sure its not gonna be the last...what a work..efforts, capabilities...i congrats 👏🏻 👍🏻...you are a very talented man.....im so happy to find this amazing Channel....thank you so much for Sharing....a new subscriber from Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 🌴💐 Keep it up 💯

Awesome video! Looking forward to part 2!

G'day ,, The Goldwings certainly are a cool machine , the engines run so smooth, I hear you can stand a coin up on the motor whilst running. Should be a great bike when you finish the rebuild. Great vid ,, looking foward to part 2. Bring it on .. Respect ...!

Looking forward to watching this later Darrell!! I'm trying to finish a will it start here 😅

great job! looking forward for part 2!

Can’t wait to see you putting it back together, up and running 🤘🏻

Another great video!

Thank you. Excellent video. Love your style. Looking forward to Part 2 and seeing it run. Best wishes from France.

Excellent video, great job dude, thanks for sharing. Cheers.

Nice find! But it is not a V6, but a boxer 6 cil. Like the BMW engines (2 cil boxers) and of course the Subaru and VW engines in the beetles. I am riding the BMW GS bikes (1150GS). Looking forward to part 2! Cheers, Marten

Men I definitely enjoy your content, keep those vids coming pls. Side note, when do you plan on pouring a slab in that part of your house?, I think it would make things easier for you specially working on equipment so much. Good luck finishing that relic! It is looking promising.

Loved this video. Just watched both after coming across them yesterday. No irritating background music either!

Very nice job. Interesting video. Waiting for next part

Good video Darrell, I have owned several Goldwings they are good machines. You will enjoy it when you get it going. Not the most easy bikes to work on though ! LOL

Smekám klobouk před tebou 😇 Takový klid při práci jsem dlouho neviděl. Sám když opravuji a to hlavně zahradní traktory , proklínám nahlas výrobce i sebe . Japonské motorky mám rád do roku výroby 2000 , dál už je vidět úspornost na úkor kvality .Miluji Suzuki motory ale i Honda má své super kousky , tohle je jeden z nich. Tuhle pojízdnou postel museli vytvořit Reptiliáni jinak to není možné 😂 Úžasně složitý ale bezporuchový stroj na to nejlepší cestování .

A lot of work and knowledge, subscribed

Your skills are great, video is over before I know it.......I would never be that patient. Thank you, I attempt to learn and do with your narration. Keep up the good work !

I lost a screw for my truck radiator shroud and had to order a bag of 50 to replace 1. 😂 It definitely pays to keep old screws and bolts.

How the hell did Honda get so much stuff crammed into such a small space. This guy has a lot more patients than I have.

I'm 14 and I have always loved cars my entire life but now I'm starting to look at motorbikes and I really love goldwings. These kinds of videos are the best

WOW, a super rebuild on a great classic Honda bike. Fantastic job! More work then I would try. Thanks for the Vid!🔧

Just shows what the panels hide. It looks very busy under there. I thought of buying one about 20 years ago. It could never go back on the road as frame was broken an I would have liked to reframe it. Looking at the work under the panels, I am glad I didnt. I would still be trying to put it all back on another frame. lol.

Your subscriptions are going to skyrocket. Keep it up. You remind me of Mustie1. Maybe show a little more of the details. Keep the projects to 2 or 3 parts. Cant wait to see this bike come to life. It's gonna pull like a tractor.

Hi appreciate your hard work and patience you have, nice work and belive me that's hell of a work you pulled until now. Get well soon with your flu

How much did you spend to fix it up? I bought a 2008 Goldwing a couple years ago and spent around $500 in parts. It was pretty neglected and hadn’t run in two years. I probably saved $3000 in labor! Now I have to figure out the problem with the reverse light blinking and the cruise control stopped working

Супер!!! Очень нравятся твои видео! А про Хонду я вообще в восторге!! Да русские тоже тебя смотрят, и с удовольствием!!!))))))) Продолжай в том же духе жду с не терпением 2 часть!!! Удачи !! А нам видео интересных!!!!))))))))))

I dont know why this was recommended to me, but i really enjoyed the video! Looking forward to part 2 :)

Amazing job on taking it apart ... well done

What a fantastic machine!!! That gas tank was some pain in the ass though! I think id have used a hammer to put it in like the previous owner 😅😅. Hope all is well.

What a masterpiece of engineering in 1988. Woah! The Japanese were and are way way ahead of their time. They were never given credit earlier...branding them as cheap and plastic in the earlier years. My grand dad used to say. It's only now people are appreciating them. My dad and grand dad tell me Ferrari copied a lot of engineering of the Honda NSX on to their ferraris and never gave Honda the credit. Same thing with bikes too. The Italians and Germans copied a lot of the engineering and technology from bands like Honda, Maha, Zuki and Kawa.

Iv just found this channel buddy and I am looking forward to seeing the finished results. Best of luck with the bike.

Great video, I wouldn’t have the patience. Looking forward to part 2.

That's a great job mate , love from India i randomly found out your channel and believe me i watched the entire video without skipping. God bless you

You tackled this process like a pro who's done it a 1000 x in the past. Thanks for taking us along

I remember when I was a kid back in the 80s, my friends grandparents had a motorcycle just like this one, same color, I thought it was like a spaceship on wheels, with all the gadgets it has.

Incredible transformation Darrell , many congratulations on an impressive video from the UK !.Remember riding a new GL1200 Aspencade and that was pretty awsome but then one of these in the same color appeared in the local Honda showroom for £7,750 which was a fortune back then !.The first episode made it appear a lost cause but you have worked wonders and proved the advantage of reviving ' Honda quality ' !.Enjoy the fruits of your hard graft and hope you and your wife enjoy many happy rides together - good luck mate !.

Great video! Keep this up and the subs will start flooding in!

What a great video. You clearly know your way around Honda's. Great job and excellent video.

Always a good day when you post another good video

A masterclass on disassembling a Gold Wing and its reassemble. 10/10

GREAT JOB SAVING YOUR GOLDWING ! I have the same bike in grey . My Wing has not ran in 15 + years . I am working on it now to get it going again . Have fun and bee safe on your great big Wing , Loved your video and all the work . A newer seat or new cover will make it so much better ! THX BEN V

Great job on the editing and work!! RSE

Great video Sir, I look forward to part 2.
