Japanese bikes do not use Philips or Posidrive screws, they are JIS heads, you need to get yourself a Vessel JIS impact screwdriver, then life will be much easier 😁

I had high hopes for this video,.great to watch an old abandoned bike being saved and given a new lease of life, or so I thought. Trying to free the starter button with channel locks, using a Philips screwdriver on rusted JIS screws, jamming a flathead screwdriver into the ignition. Even the fact that you thought 20 plus year old timing belts would be ok had me wondering what you were thinking. This bike deserved better treatment and I'm sure there are several viewers of your video that would have wanted to be as lucky as you in finding such a barn find. I just think it's a real shame the way you're approaching this.

Had the same bike many years ago. Found the best way to use the center Stand, stand alongside the left side of the bike facing forward with your hands on the handlebars. With your right foot stand up on the center stand letting your weight push it down as you pull back lightly on the handlebars. The stand pivots right up slick as can be.😊

I'm here all day for the Goldwing content! Very cool!

Mine was a 1986 and I loved it. Bought it new from the Honda dealer in San Fernando valley in January of 1988 and put over 20K miles on it by Christmas.

Yes I would love to watch that series of videos of you doing that

Barn find bikes, baby! Bring us more!!!!

Watching bearded-mechanic gave lots of tips on how to work on bikes. Love the guy.

There is a code on the ignition, take it out to a lock smith and he can cut a key.

Yes PLEASE film it. I love doing that stuff as well and watching others. Everytime I watch others theres always somerhing you can learn, Thank you for the videos.

Great Video. You guys are truly blessed to be working together and having fun.

A bit over a decade ago I restored a 1977 GL1000 , if my starter switch should fail I just have to use the kick starter . A real fun bike to ride.

Pre reverse gear. Very nice. Wow, great find, tons of potential, I get them in my shop now and then, and they are always pretty fancy. Fun to ride!! Comfort and power.

I have rescued a barn find bike, rebuilt it and done a tour in 4 countries across Europe. Mine is a Honda Super magna. VF750c. I still have it. Don’t really ride it these days. Brought a new bike a couple of years ago.

Hi from the UK, yes, go for it, love to see these classics get a new lease of life..

Great find, hope you get it all together

Yes I would love to see,please 😊😊.

82 is the best year of wings!!!!!!! love this stuff

Wow these are my favorite bikes and you can't beat the comfort of the seat especially when you're sitting on the back.

Another episode would be fantastic can’t wait to see it all swapped over 👍

I think it has broken rings or something on the left bank of the Boxer, oh bout those Honda's deserve to be restored! Thanks for the video!

Just get an ignition switch, be amazed, and everything will probably start working. The wiring on those is nuts dude.

Honda gold wings are built to last forever great job putting that one back on the road

Stick rings, maybe spray some oil down cylinders help it turn over smoother.

Thanks for sharing.

Like to see you put both together and make one good looking bike so hope you video the progress 👍

The left carb bank is flooded rich. And the air cut off valves are probably shot.

Thats not smoke coming from the left side exhaust is fuel, thats why it went through 1 gallon in 3 miles had the same problem with my 76

Oh, that poor girl. Hope you can make her shine again!

Hell yeah man. I would love to see it. Bike is great looking.

Put the barn find goodies on the other bike, can't wait to see the vid. THANKS

First time I’ve ever seen a bike start out of sheer fear. Fear that if it didn’t start you guys might do something else hideous to that poor bike. 😢

I'd love to c the series of the bikes transfer. Hell, I love ya'lls videos period. I didnt even no u had posted. It didn't alert me. Just happened to show up on the main page when I refreshed it. Would love to c more posts from ya.

yes would love to see you transfer everything over

Let’s keep the goldwing content coming!

Yes how cool then the swap is even cooler. May try some sea foam in the engine before the swap.

Yes I would like to see that

I have revived 5 Gold Wings 4 GL1000 and 1100, at one time I had 7 Wings, One was an 1800. I still have 2 Wings and an Indian and currently collect cars. Always carbs brakes and fork seals love old Wings.

My dad had a 1981 GL1100 in black it was my favorite bike sadly my dad was killed in a car crash do to an intoxicated driver and we had to sell the bike because my mom doesn't like motorcycles and i was only 6 years old. I wish i could find and afford one

Would love to see the rebuild 😊

Of course you can,it’s a Honda.

Yes, I would like to see you video switching parts over to get a running bike. I bought an identical Aspencade as this one brand new, and had it for 10 years. Same brown color. Traded it off on a Harley in 1992. Have always regretted trading it off. Should have kept it. It was a bear riding around in city traffic, but boy was it great on the highway. I just subscribed to your channel and an looking forward to your videos on this bike. Ride safe!

Never rev an engine like that after setting for years.

Sad you guys did not do your research before touching this beautiful motorcycle. The issue with the starter button is the screw underneath it that needs to be loosened a little. You also overtightened the screwed on the valve cover which will definitely leak soon. This bike requires everything to be torqued correctly. I hope you guys decide to read up on how to restore gl1100. I usually do not criticize anyone on the Internet but unfortunately gotten really sad seeing this video. I know you mean well though :)

Yes would like to see you do the work.

I seen a guy at road track and trail in selinsgrove Pennsylvania couldn’t have weighed a hundred pounds use one hand and walk a gold wing backwards and just like magic it went riteup on the center stand slickest thing I ever seen I had a 900 ninja of the 84 variety

Very awesome my friend

I have been off a motorcycle 🏍 for a long time, so if I ever got a touring bike it would be a Can Am Spyder ,it has 2 wheels in the front,would be a more stable bike,love the videos keep them coming 😊😊😊.

Same as the one I bought about 20 years ago, had 10 years with few issues, 11 th year I had to do a full strip, frame had rotted through by petrol tank and on bottem frame rail which was removable. Petrol tank had also rotted out. Did all that and then sold it as it was getting too heavy to manoeuvre. S😢till miss that bike.

Enjoyed this video and would definitely watch a video where you swap parts over the the donor/parts bike

Yes do it I would watch it

I had one I called and talked to the head of the gold wing club he said those belts can last to over 100.000.000 miles

I would definitely like to see you build the bike.

Make the change.

I had a Goldwing for 10 years and we had it service once a year. My wife and I didn't drive the motor bike in the winter it gets colder in Tasmania Australia for 9 months of the year. When we sold the bike it was the saddest day.

You should have said, "no brakes, but we have PLENTY OF BUSHES." Hitting trees to stop is pretty graphic. But hitting small bushes should be fun to stop.

“There is nothing better than a Goldwing “~S. surgeon

Yeah. . . You gotta do it - subbed hoping!!

Yeah, please do the swap and get one good running bike. It would be neat to see the process on video.

totally wront srat working, first cover off, then sparks off looking cylinders, and take carburets off and clean all, then blaster to cylinder stay one day, then try move engine, not take battery and start,

I've owned 11 Gold Wings still own 2, One is the first one I bought. Watch out for the timing belt there is probably stuff in there..good luck!!

A complete disassemble reassemble project. Nice basement project for a winter .

Yes let’s see the process

Yes it would be nice

Absolutely swap parts have a perfect running goldwing bike

I've got a 1983 Honda Gold Wing Aspencade with California Friendship Sidecar if you're interested.

I really enjoyed this vid guys awesome❤

beauty bike safe and make new life,

Would love to see you restore it.

Weird note on this, but it feels good to know I'm not the only one who's taken to calling it Peanut Butter Blaster.

Sounds good.

Yes id like to see it

I am amazed that you would risk no brakes

Bought a bike on online auction, front end damage. When it arrived, truck driver helped me unload it. Front wheel scraping tire so we didn't realize it was in gear until on the ground. Must have been in top gear when wrecked and no one changed, as the foot shift was bent against the frame and clutch cable broken. Engine was fine, but forks and frame by neck bent.

Just subscribed to your channel❤

Hey guys, just found you and subscribed, I follow bearded mechanics also and live in southern PA, ride an F6B wing, my buddy also has one too, we both retired, but would be cool if you could get a few of us to ride together this spring or summer, if you want barn find bikes, also have a 1974 Z1A I restored.

Yes let’s see it!!!!

I'll watch the reincarnation. I had a 83 Aspencade same color. Check the rivets on those comstar wheels, they sometimes get loose.

Why not give all the fasteners etc a good soaking with penetrating fluid and leave it overnight ? Not impressed with your early efforts at hitting things with pliers etc, rough as feck 😱

You might need to balance the cards and the second cable might Close the carbs

Of course go for it

Timing belts in cars are usually changed 60-75k

Honda Japan have many spares I did have to find some valves from a breaker in Toronto as there were none.

Good video, I would like to see how it turns out. Wouldn't it be easier to just take the good parts you need on the parts goldwing instead ? That's if you have a title for the Aspencade

100 percent yes

Yeah let's watch you do it

yes please

Found a great barn find, gave a nice opening about why he loved these bikes...then they attacked it hammers and screwdrivers. WTF! 😮😢

Я из России.У моего знакомого точно такой байк стоит.Небольшая неисправность есть. А так вообще на ходу.Классный мотоцикл!

Be cool to see you do the swap

You guys are brill❤

Yep do it ill watch in england

Yes please. I wanna see goldwing build. By the way, You sound exactly like the guy from the RobotCantina channel.

Why would you start cranking a crusty bike that hasn't been started in more than 20 or 30 years without putting some oil down the cylinders? If cylinders were ok, there's a good chance you scored them or pistons by cranking without lube. Was there even any oil in crankcase? I have to admit I started skipping around because you didn't seem to have a cohesive methodology for tackling this project and what I saw of your approach in first 20 minutes of video just seemed to be all over the place. I think you need to have a consistent plan in place with these kind of restoration projects. Good luck with it though.

A fyi , you don’t drive a motorcycle. You ride it!

Just spray a bit of wd 40 on the starter button a bit of wd40 sometimes helps free up.before taking it apart

Might have a bad head gasket on the left cylinder head. It’s normal to have some smoke on that side on startup but it should go away after a bit.

You bunglers don't deserve this motorcycle!

Eu adoro essas reformas

its a oarts bike for a reason, people dont part out perfectly good bikes to fix broken ones. id fix the lower mileage one
