GL1200 Thermostat. Halford's, the UK car parts chain stock the HTK 648 thermostat which fits the GL1200. Thanks to Mark from Ashford in Kent for this tip.

What you're saying is that the GL1200 uses the same thermostat as the GL1100?:?
Thank you all for the quick and helpful replys. All great info that I've copied and pasted to my GL1200 folder.
The list should have the spark plug numbers changed, 1200 takes a dpr8ea plug, which is considerably different.

No. Why do you ask?:waving:
You da teacher! That's why I asked!

According to the online parts fiche I use, there are 119 Honda models that use the same thermostat as a GL1200. Probably anything they ever made that was water-cooled, it looks like.
