I worked in a Honda shop when the Wing first came out. It was a sensation. The sales guys used to start them up, balance a nickel on the cam chain cover, and rev them up to 3,000 rpm and the coin would just sit there. Try THAT with a Harley - or any bike from the 70s for that matter!
I know nothing about motorcycles, but I am guessing that this is one of the best bikes ever made , I am 63 years old and remember the touring bikes from years ago.
I had the exact same bike, bought it new in ‘78 while I was living in Oman. Awesome machine. Mine was in burgundy, slightly darker than this, although that could be down to lighting and no engine bars. Loved riding it, fast and smooth and no chain maintenance! Wish I still had it and often wonder what happened to it.
Stunning work restoring a true classic. I just saw this video whilst I’m researching them, with a view to getting one and was really Impressed with your work. My first thought at the initial ‘barn find’ pic was, ‘good luck with that mate’☺️ You did yourself proud with this restoration.
hello I was watching the video of the restoration of the Goldging very good but I get the music of the video you can pass me the name of the song or remix please I liked Argentina thanks
Absolutely stunning restoration and the attention to details is fabulous.. i own a 1978 Goldwing with 6,800 miles from new in showroom condition, these are fabulous motorcycle.
Magnificent work! My brother bought one exactly like this one, same colour, brand new and I was privileged to ride it a few times to Tech college when I was an apprentice. I have never forgotten the smoothness of ride it gave me, the closest thing to a magic carpet ride. It's great to see one restored to its former glory. Well done.
i have one of these under restoration at the moment and while i wont be going to this level of finish i have to say its beautiful, you have done a fantastic job
I had a KZ900 in the late 70s and a friend of mine had one of these. He let me ride it one day and I couldn't believe how smooth it was and surprisingly fast to boot. Nice job bringing her back to life.
I had a '78 during college in the late 90's and a few years after. Best looking model year IMO. It was basically given to me by my uncle who was the original purchaser. Royal blue with gold pin stripes, but I sure do like the maroon and gold. Best experiences motorcycling on that beast. 70's nostalgia and great comfort.
Incredible restoration!!! The before and after pictures of some of the parts is amazing I've always loved those bikes since they came out thanks for the great vidio.
@@MarkReynoldsRestorations😂. I was 19 and of all my friends, I had the biggest and baddest bike with 1000 CCs, shaft drive, and water cooling. IMO, you’re looking at a brand new one - hope you still have it and ride it often.
Nice. I bought a new 1978 Goldwing like this with the same color I added a color matched Windjammer fairing. The maroon seemed darker than this but hey that was 48 years ago. What an awesome ride. I rode chain drive for years and It took a little to get used to the drive shaft in corners. They said to accelerate through the corners and that will keep it from trying to fishtail.
So nice to watch this Gold Wing come alive! Great job! I had a GL1000 for 5 years of pure joy Then came a CB900F Bol d´Or, another beauty and riding pleasure
Great job! Reminds me of taking my first 78' Wing completely apart, engine too. Still can't believe I did that, repainted the frame with "Plastic Coat", by Duplo I think. Got it back on the road, but that was decades ago. Still have that one, and after 262,000 miles, I replaced it with another 78'. Still have the second one too. Wouldn't mind of getting rid of them, they're taking up space.
Watching this Restoration on this video for this Mighty Honda Goldwing GL 1000 , makes my heart beat faster. I find it so Fascinating and with admiration how you Restore this Machine. Thank You for Sharing my Friend. Greetings,,,,Walter.
@@MarkReynoldsRestorations Hi Mark. Your welcome ! My Great Compliment for you Restauration with the Beautiful Honda Goldwing. I speak you later. Greetz , Walter
My brother in law had one back then. I had a bike for a few years by then, and remember taking it for a ride. I do remember it was a smooth riding bike, not much else. It just wasnt my kind of bike. But now, yes it would be nice to have a nicely restored one. Even better though, another bike I rode that a friend of mine had, a Honda CB 750.
We bought a new one, in these in the same colour and, after installing SW air shocks , on the rear, modified forks, for air and after installing a compressor under the top of, plus a dual air gauge and controller, it was the nicest bike we ever owned. Fitted an Adelaide built full touring fairing and panniers. Ride it on our honeymoon,, from Melbourne up through the Snowy Mts.and all around northern Victoria!
I just had one of these given to me that will need some work. I was excited to get to work on it until I saw the amazing job you did! LOL! Should be fun.
It's very satisfying seeing the transformation. The key is patience, you will have set backs, just take your time and don't give up. Stay focused on the end result. It's more than worth it in the end.
I think I seen the Video, When you Picked this Bike up was this Your Grand fathers Bike, And there was another with it, Great Restore, Hope you Have Great days of riding, And Memory's.
I have a '77 GL 1000That I restored about a decade ago, love the bike. I've been planning to go through it again since I have to replace the stator anyway.
Ahh the good old '70's! I had the classic XS750 Triple cylinder shaft drive Yamaha touring bike in back in 1976! Then my neighbor across the street came home with a 1978 Honda Goldwing! He wouldn't trade it for mine Lol!
I wanted to keep it original and use OEM exhausts but they were to far gone. I looked everywhere for original ones but without any luck. The Motad were the next best thing.
Brilliant job, I own a burgundy 78 here in Australia, hope t0 get it back on the road soon (leaking head gasket). We bought it back from a bloke we sold it to about 10yrs ago. Also managed to recently find a NOS set of original mufflers as it currently runs the same pipes you have on yours. Most beautifully balanced bikes, thanks for giving this one a new life.
@@MarkReynoldsRestorations Rare as hens teeth mate but the pipes you chose still look the part. Did you see the 78 that recently sold at Mecum for $12.5k? Super under appreciated model which I think is juts starting to come into it's own.
Nada mas bello que esta clasica. A pesar de mi edad, no abandono la idea de poder tener una, y salir a la ruta. Este trabajo es impresionante, merecedor de mi mas sana envidia. Jajaja. Los felicito, algun dia, seguro me podre dar el gusto de esta máquina
Respekt ! Großartige, saubere Restauration und ein schönes Bike was ich in den 80er auch mal längere Zeit fahren konnte. Die 70er, 80er Fahrzeuge hatten irgendwie mehr Character als die heutigen Fahrzeuge aber das ist bei Autos ähnlich.
You resurrected a wonderful machine, I had a '78 myself, same color but without the gauges, it screamed down the road, and solid as a rock. did you have to replace any parts or just re-chromed and reworked them? either or its beautiful, my compliments. Jim
0:10. Have to pause the video to cringe in pain at the idea of trying to restore something that rusty. OMG. WOW, amazing work! Have you ever taken an IQ test? You've got be somewhere around 165? How did you restore the gauges to look bright red again?
Stunning restortion! Having done one of these myself, I don't even know where you start to find the parts you did. I had a LOT of trouble sourcing just about everything, especially NOS. A couple of things I noted: Why are the bars sitting so far forward? Secondly, do you have the grab bar for the back? If not, I have a very nice extra. Too bad you don't have the Honda logo on the rear seat.
Bryan, the bike is a USA spec with the longer bars so that might explain why they look further forward. The seat unfortunately i had issues sourcing so its an aftermarket one.
beautiful video and great work, but the magical side of this restoration is missing, namely the first start which highlights the rebirth of this motorcycle!
It's just a hobby. I used to work in the classic car restoration trade but haven't done it for a living for over 10 years now. These are just little projects I'm doing at home in my garage on weekends.
Absolutely fantastic job. Very well done. Let me know if you ever wish to part with her. Just one more detail to finish the job.....the left hand cylinder head Honda badge. ;)
Well spotted. There were a few bits I was waiting for before finishing the final video. The front indicators, rear grab rail and the badges. instagram.com/p/CPRKFYPnzXm/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
The engine had good compression and oil pressure so for now it was just a good service and get some miles on it. If there are any issues in the future then it might be a rebuild.
That was the one thing i wasn't really happy with. Originally the wheels would have been polished and then lacquered. Unfortunately they were to badly corroded to polish so i had them powdercoated.
@@MarkReynoldsRestorations They look great on the bike, those old Comstar wheels are just not designed to be taken apart for repair, so powder coating is a good option.👍
Fantastic restoration. I have a '78 GL1000 that is identical (pre-restoration) to yours. How long did the restoration take? How much did you invest? Did you just repaint/polish the engine (no rebuild)? How about the final drive? Was the frame powder-coated? Did you get the gauges serviced? Thanks!
@johnclifford1911 it took just under 12 months from start to finish. 9 months waiting to get all the chrome work back. I put over 300 hours into it, coming in about 3.5k spent.
I always road my 57 HD flh last rigid. My buddies wanted to ride to Sturgis. I found an old gold wing Aspencade. I road out and back no problems. Sold it for twice as much as I paid 10years later.
I worked in a Honda shop when the Wing first came out. It was a sensation. The sales guys used to start them up, balance a nickel on the cam chain cover, and rev them up to 3,000 rpm and the coin would just sit there. Try THAT with a Harley - or any bike from the 70s for that matter!

For such a big heavy bike, they really do ride well. I think it's down to the boxer engine design and low centre of gravity
@@MarkReynoldsRestorations I agree and it was really impressive. It didn't feel heavy at all.
