Bikes For Sale (including Classified Ads):

Watch this Space!

New Service: Here I showcase investment grade GL1000s and other worthy vintage bikes for sale by myself, customers and other third parties. If I do not own these bikes, I am very familiar with their pedigree. I maintain a strict "no junk" policy and carefully screen for authenticity, condition and desirability. Only collectible or otherwise high value specimens will be listed.

Note: When I become aware of collector quality bike that is fairly represented and the owner seeks my assistance in marketing that bike, I will send out an information "blast" to potentially interested parties that I maintain on my GL1000 Collector Watch List before I post the bike to this page. Many of these bikes never make it to this page before a transaction occurs. The Watch List is maintained to provide advance notice to a very select list of savvy collectors and other interested parties.

Randakk's Cycle Shakk is devoted to early GL1000s (1975-1977). Please contact me at randakk@hotmail.com for details and advertising rates to have a bike featured here or for other marketing assistance. This web site provides maximum exposure to the G1000 special interest market!

Note: At the risk of sounding egotistical, here's a fact. Bikes that I've wrenched on routinely sell for significant premiums. Word to the wise…I'm aware of one recent transaction involving a bike where the seller claimed my personal involvement. This was not the case! Demand proper documentation from sellers who reference me in any way. Please feel contact me to verify claims of this nature.

Phone: (214) 202-4880

Contact David for additional current photos

Note: This bike was originally delivered to a collector in Ohio on 1/8/2004 after a comprehensive, ground-up restoration by me in my shop. I bought it back and resold it to David McGuire in 2006. See below for documentation on the extensive restoration on this bike.

This special bike took second place overall in the Japanese class at the 2004 AMA Mid-Ohio Vintage Days Bike Show (lost out to a '73 Kawasaki with 100 miles!). Many consider this the top vintage bike show in the country. In 2005, the owner was invited to show this bike at the prestigious Eyes on Design car show in Detroit. This is a premier auto design concours with multi-million dollar cars and the auto industry's top design awards ceremony. The owner was referred to Eyes on Design by the folks at AMA.

Current Mileage: Approximately 24,911 miles as of 2/15/2008

Here is my original description of the restoration work done in 2003:

Note dated 12/14/03: This bike is finished and slated for delivery to the new owner in early January, 2004. Now that I've been test riding this bike, I'm pleased to report that this is as close to a "new" GL1000 as I've every ridden. Because I've replaced all the suspension bushings, bearings, etc., there is no "lost motion" at all in this bike. That plus the new Hagon rear shocks make it a joy to ride. The engine turned out especially sweet. Compression readings turned out 165#-170# on all 4 cylinders...practically the test results you'd expect for a new engine. When I replaced the valve stem seals (not really necessary as the old seals were quite pliable), I was pleased to find there was no discernible wear in the top end components. The primary chain is very quiet and the transmission shifts as new. I really hate to part with this bike!

Rare opportunity to buy a true, top-drawer investment grade GL1000. This bike represents the culmination of everything I know about GL1000 restoration. When finished, this bike will be one of the finest GL1000s available in the world. A low mileage, unmolested first year bike undergoing a comprehensive, frame-up restoration. I'm certain that this bike will surpass my personal show bike "Elsie" in overall quality. Reason for selling: I don't need another show bike. This one will be too "perfect" for me to really enjoy riding. Also, this will probably be my last full restoration. Going forward, I plan to concentrate on other aspects of my business. Unfortunately, restorations are not profitable given the time and effort required. If you'd like to own one of my restorations, this may be your last opportunity. This bike has an obscene number of new parts which has wrecked the economics for me. If I'm persuaded to do another restoration in the future, the price will be at least $10K for a bike done to this standard.

This bike will be the beneficiary of an extensive list of impossible to obtain parts I have hoarded specifically for this project. Many of these items are no longer available from Honda. These include:

• Mint wheel set...less than 200 mikes (stored since 1977)!
• New OEM wiring harness!
• Mint grab bar!
• Mint set of correct "early" style mirrors
• New handlebar switchgear-left switch has correct integrated perch for clutch lever
• New OEM "tank" emblems!
• New OEM coils / ignition wire assemblies!
• NOS headlight bucket!
• Mint headlight mounting "ears"
• Mint taillight and license bracket
• New gauge backs!
• NOS muffler!!!
• NOS front fender!!!
• NOS rear fender!!!
• Mint seat!
• Mint set of muffler heat shields!

These parts alone are worth approximately $3000+ (if you could find them all)!!

Restoration Build-up Photos:

 

 

One of the best features of this bike is the beautiful Candy Antares Red bodywork. This bike includes the one of the best original set of body panels I've seen in a long time. I've carefully used Griot's clay, Griot's Speed Shine and some special, secret wax I use to bring the panels into top show condition. The original top lid was slightly faded and the crotch piece had some flaws, so I've replaced these two pieces with matching NOS (top lid) and new OEM (crotch piece) items. Also, the left radiator "fin" had some minor flaws so I replaced it with another mint used fin I had. The top shelter side doors are '76 design with tri-color lower pinstipe.

Having original panels with insignificant imperfections and patina appropriate to a well-cared for specimen (instead of perfectly repainted panels) is always preferable on a show bike. I've also installed all new top shelter emblems along with new side cover latch hardware. The authenticity and provenance detailed here makes a big difference to show judges. The value of this great set of bodywork alone is approximately $1000 (if you could find such a set). The frame paintwork is in good original condition, but I've decided to re-paint it anyway.

Take a look at the Restoration section of my web site for a general indication of the extensive work I plan to do on this bike click Here. This bike will look and perform as new…actually a bit better given the carb mods I make!

3. For Sale: Stunning 1975 GL1000

Sorry...this bike sold as of 09/10/04

This exceptional bike GL1000 is for sale by one of my customers - Ken Kelly. Ken purchased this bike from me in 2002. This bike received a very thorough restoration prior to Ken's purchase. Correct, comprehensive frame-off mechanical rejuvenation with thorough cosmetic restoration.

This bike performs and looks fabulous and will be a threat to win show trophies on the local level. Compares favorably with true investment grade "garage queen" show bikes that typically sell in the $6,000-$7,000 range. The finished bike is stunning. It's a great specimen of a watershed design. At this price point, most of your investment could be recovered if you decided to sell and you have the added benefit of owning a bike you can actually ride and enjoy. Compare this level of investment with anything available new and you have a very compelling case.

Ken has accumulated approximately 5,000 troublefree miles since he purchased this bike. In April 2004, the bike had a complete major service. A new battery amd fork seals were installed at that time as well. Odometer shows 27,591 miles.

Here is the original summary of the work I performed prior selling the bike to Ken Kelly:

This is a great-looking bike…digital pictures hardly do it justice. But, in the interest of full-disclosure and to prevent any surprises (I am a bit of a perfectionist) here are the…

Known Cosmetic Flaws:

• Paint is fabulous but just short of the standard of excellence I put on true show bikes. Main difference is the graphics. This set of body work has professionally applied auto-type pinstripes that don't quite match the original tricolor air foil design. Also, the painter on this set used '77 panels to guide his graphics installation, so the layout is slightly different from a '75. Instead of side cover decals, the painter talked me into '78 style GL1000 emblems. These look wonderful, but again they are not original (by the way, I no longer use this painter - I'm tired of arguing with him over what's "correct").
• Seat is in great overall condition, but has minor imperfections on the lower edge where the fabric wraps around the seat pan. Fabric is still very pliable. Good "Honda" emblem on tail.
• Original toolkit and owner's manual are missing.
• Front master reservoir is weathered.
• Speedo and Tach faces are slightly faded, but there is no cracking
• Finish on rear rim is slightly tired.

Other Known Flaws:

• Like all early Gold Wings, this bikes occasionally smokes a little on start-up…esp. if left on the side stand…does not use oil.
• Carb rack is from a '76 bike…functionally identical except for fancier chrome side brackets.
• Turn signal "audiblizer" is missing (I don't miss it!)

Other Information:

• Clear North Carolina Title with no liens.

Price: $4800 firm.

4. For Sale: 1976 GL1000 - My Personal Show Bike "Elsie"...World's Fastest "Stock" GL1000?

Sorry...this bike sold as of 01/09/04

Rare opportunity to own one of my last GL1000 restorations. This is one of my personal bikes...my '76 show bike "Elsie." I'm not doing any more restorations for the foreseeable future. I recently sold a '75 restoration to a collector in Ohio for $7,250 and this bike is nicer in some ways. The quality of this bike is exceptional

Modesty is a character "flaw" I overcame years ago. It's not a stretch to say that I one of the world's leading authorities on the early Honda GL1000. I have earned some notoriety as a GL1000 tuning "guru." For what it's worth, I am a certified motorcycle mechanic who has concentrated on the GL1000.

This is a true, top-drawer investment grade GL1000. This bike represents the culmination of everything I know about GL1000 restoration. Without question one of the finest GL1000s available in the world. This bike is not "restored" in the normal sense of that word...just an excellent specimen in peak show-winning condition. In fact, this bike has never been beaten in competition.

This bike has approximately 32,000 actual miles. Reason for selling: I have other bikes to ride and this one's too "perfect" for me to really enjoy riding a great deal. I recently turned down a legitimate offer of $7000 for this bike from a European collector. I declined his offer mainly because of the hassle factor involved in international transactions. So - this sale is limited to US buyers who will make all necessary arrangements to pick up the bike from my premises. I cannot crate or ship this bike.

I purchased this bike in excellent condition from a motorcycle collector in Texas about 3 years ago. Obviously, my starting point was an exceptional motorcycle. Since I've owned the bike, I've done the following:

This bike has a new, show-winning paint job with all new graphics. Correctly done with House of Kolor 4 part process (primer, base metallic, base color + clear) with extensive polishing between layers. Graphics are correctly applied under clear coat. I employed a subtle "trick" with this paint job. Rather than use the normal fine metallic silver base layer, I used a fine metallic gold base layer instead. This makes the final result a bit "warmer" and more dazzling than OEM. The quality of this paint job is far superior to the original factory standard. The color is "correct" (even beside NOS panels) but the gold metallic base makes it look irresistibly "showier." The paint job was so expensive I get queasy just thinking about it! The painter's work has won numerous national awards for quality, but he won't do any more work for me, because doing paint to my standards is very difficult.

Comprehensive service per Honda workshop manual…including all fluids, timing set ("split-timing" technique), carb synchronization, etc., etc.

Maintenance /Restoration:

Speedometer, tachometer and fuel gauge professionally serviced and faces refinished (bezel rings not cut!)
Thorough carb overhaul by me (with "off idle" fix for better performance, + my own special proprietary tweaks)
New cam belts
New battery
Rebuilt front and rear brake calipers...front caliper pistons are new
Calipers re-finished with high temp caliper paint. Correct red "dots" applied to calipers
Both master cylinders overhauled
New brake hoses front and rear (rear hose no longer available from Honda) using new crush washers
New front master brake fluid reservoir (no longer available from Honda)
Swing arm removed, cleaned, repainted and re-greased...new driveshalft circlips
New radiator hoses, clamps and radiator cap
Petcock overhauled
New fuel filter, correct OEM hoses and clamps
New air filter
New tires, tubes and rim strips
New spark plugs and caps
New condenser
New breaker points
New OEM coils / ignition wire assembly (no longer available from Honda)
Professionally polished valve covers, timing belt covers, carb tops, intakes and fork "sliders"

I installed a boatload of new OEM and NOS parts rounded up from 5 different countries. Most of these parts were replaced for purely cosmetic reasons:

New tank emblems
New side cover latch hardware
New battery retention strap
New voltage regulator
New reserve lighting unit
New turn signal flasher
New turn "beeper"
New rear stop light switch and spring
New emergency kickstart lever, both rubber pieces and retention strap (strap no longer available from Honda)
New turn signals
New front fender (no longer available from Honda)
New front wheel " New valve cover emblems (correct blue background, no longer available from Honda)
New fork seals
New OEM Honda handlebar(no longer available from Honda)
New handlebar grips
Many new frame decals
New clutch, choke and throttle cables
New clutch and brake levers
New speedo cable
New tach cable
New centerstand spring
New footpeg hardware
New swingarm pivot bolt covers (no longer available from Honda)
New OEM rear shock absorber / spring assemblies
Many new, correct OEM fasteners

As purchased by me, this bike had many hard to find or replace items:

Good original muffler (no longer available from Honda)
Good chrome muffler heat shields
Mirrors are in excellent condition (correct "long-stem" version)
Grab bar is excellent (no longer available from Honda)
Keys match all 4 locks
Plus many, many small details that only a show judge would appreciate

Performance Mods:

Elsie has served as a test bed for the development of numerous tuning enhancements that I've developed for the early GL1000. Although completely stock in appearance, this is probably the fastest "stock-appearing" GL1000 on the planet. No, I haven't added a turbo or blower to make this happen. I haven't bolted on any (obvious) aftermarket parts. It still uses the original carbs, it has OEM coils and it still has breaker points. Nor have I hack-sawed on the air cleaner housing or done any other senseless butchery.

My mods are "old school" and stone simple. These modifications are proprietary, but I can tell you that I've made important changes to the carburetion, ignition, intake and exhaust. Please don't ask for more details on these mods. None of these changes have had an adverse effect on reliability, serviceability or "drivability." In fact, this bike has a very sweet disposition. One hint to the changes...the idle is slightly lumpier than normal.

Other:

Elsie is not a garage queen. Weather permitting, she is ridden weekly to keep her in peak form. There are no undesirable options installed like bags, crash bars, screens, etc. ( I do have a nearly new National Cycle Plexi-2 detachable windshield for this bike which I will make available to the buyer for an additional $50 if desired).

She has a very small digital voltmeter mounted beneath the speedo which I will remove if you like (wiring harness was not altered in any way to mount the voltmeter).

Also, she has a period-correct fork brace which really sharpens up the handling in high speed corners. I can remove this if you like.

Currently, this bike has a new leather Corbin "Dual Touring" seat as seen in some of the pictures on this web site. This is a very special seat. I collaborated with Corbin to modify their original Dual Touring Design introduced in 2002 to meet my needs. Mainly, I had them re-shape the nose of the seat to allow both top shelter doors to open without the need to remove the seat...necessary in my opinion for routine maintenance checks. This is the best seat I've ever ridden on any bike in over 35 years of riding! If you visit my web site, you may see a few pictures of this seat with Corbin's latest design oval backrest installed. This backrest is NOT included in this auction...I use this backrest on another bike. I would be happy to deduct $250 from the winning bid if the buyer will let me keep this wonderful seat.

For shows, you will need a stock seat. I don't have an appropriate stock seat at the moment, but I can point you to some good sources if you're interested.

Owner's manual (re-print) and new OEM toolkit are included. Clear North Carolina Title with no liens.

Here are the only material "flaws:"

1. The "stinger" baffles have been removed from the chrome muffler extensions for a slightly more mellow sound and a bit less back pressure. It would take a very astute show judge to notice. The muffler has also had an insignificant (and well done) welding repair on the underside.

2. Like all early GoldWings, this one will occasionally smoke a bit at start-up...especially if left on the sidestand. Not a flaw really but a design characteristic. The bike does NOT consume oil and the engine has excellent compression on all 4 cylinders. The bike is in a razor sharp state of tune.

4. Like all '75-'77 GoldWings, the primary chain is a bit noisy because Honda elected to omit any sort of tensioning mechanism to adjust the slack. Not a flaw really but a design characteristic. This is only noticeable at idle. It is less noticeable when the carbs are well-synced as they are now. Should be good for another 75-100K miles before the chain needs replacement. Not a flaw really but a design characteristic.

5. The chrome finish on the original rear fender is slightly tired. The underside of the rear fender has been sprayed with dull aluminum paint to mimic the original factory finish which is very prone to deterioration. Most show judges don't notice, but I would send the rear fender out for re-chroming if I were to enter this bike in another show.

6. Rear wheel looks fine, but it is the original with wear and tear appropriate for its mileage.

7. Trip odometer works, but occasionally the "hundreds" digit has a mind of its own.

All information detailed above is accurate to the best of my knowledge and every attempt has been made to give an accurate description Inadvertent omissions, oversights, etc. can occur - so, the vehicle is sold without warranty. It is sold "as is" and "where is."

Finally, the current battery is nearly 3 years old and giving no problems (I vigilantly use a battery maintainer). However, I will install a fresh battery prior to transfer for the buyer since the current one is nearing the end of its probable useful life.
