Hello everyone! Thanks for allowing me to share your knowledge base!
As a former 1981 Honda Interstate rider/owner, I had to give it up for a number of years and almost thought I had gotten it out of my system 'til a friend convinced me to buy and restore a 1981 GL1100 standard model that had been sitting up for around 15 years or better. Yes, I'm aware what a daunting challenge it is! :shock:
As I immersed myself in Googlemania, preparing myself for the project at hand, I came across a note somewhere about a recall done in 1981 for the spacer on the rear axle to more properly align the rear wheel. My GW has only a flat washer between the frame and the wheel on the axle bolt head side. Any comments would be appreciated.
My Wing is yet to be started, due to problems related to rust and varnish from the fuel tank to the carbs and I'm presently engaged in the thorough cleanup of that mess. I'm looking for the carb synchronizer gauges as well and I'd appreciate any help on locating a good set of those, too.
Thanks all! I'm looking forward to sharing in the wealth of experience available here.
