I have been quoted £200 approx for a full gasket set for a GL1100 from a Honda dealer here in the UK. Is this the right price? Is there anywhere I can get the sets cheaper?
I saw what the sets (2 sets required for a complete engine rebuild) include on the microfiche, and they seem to include a load of stuff I don't really need.
I'm having to do a rebuild because 4th gear has lost 9 teeth - why I have no idea. Has anyone else had any trouble with GL1100 gearboxes? I don't want to pay £130 for a new 4th gear and have it fail again in another few miles.
I'm looking at over £300 to repair - I'm beginning to wonder if its worth it. The bike itself is a naked 82/83 GL1100 - probably worth £1500?? I might get more by breaking it - any comments?
Thanks
