    I had high hopes for this video,.great to watch an old abandoned bike being saved and given a new lease of life, or so I thought. Trying to free the starter button with channel locks, using a Philips screwdriver on rusted JIS screws, jamming a flathead screwdriver into the ignition. Even the fact that you thought 20 plus year old timing belts would be ok had me wondering what you were thinking. This bike deserved better treatment and I'm sure there are several viewers of your video that would have wanted to be as lucky as you in finding such a barn find. I just think it's a real shame the way you're approaching this.

      YUP, very cringe worthy... I bought a '81 GL1100 & '97 Valkyrie, no history for either so first to replace were the timing belts.

    Had the same bike many years ago. Found the best way to use the center Stand, stand alongside the left side of the bike facing forward with your hands on the handlebars. With your right foot stand up on the center stand letting your weight push it down as you pull back lightly on the handlebars. The stand pivots right up slick as can be.😊

    Japanese bikes do not use Philips or Posidrive screws, they are JIS heads, you need to get yourself a Vessel JIS impact screwdriver, then life will be much easier 😁

      Currently restoring a 79 gl1000, bought a JIS screwdriver set but use my Phillips screwdrivers 99% of the time! You don’t need to buy anything.

    Yes, I would like to see you video switching parts over to get a running bike. I bought an identical Aspencade as this one brand new, and had it for 10 years. Same brown color. Traded it off on a Harley in 1992. Have always regretted trading it off. Should have kept it. It was a bear riding around in city traffic, but boy was it great on the highway. I just subscribed to your channel and an looking forward to your videos on this bike. Ride safe!

    Same as the one I bought about 20 years ago, had 10 years with few issues, 11 th year I had to do a full strip, frame had rotted through by petrol tank and on bottem frame rail which was removable. Petrol tank had also rotted out. Did all that and then sold it as it was getting too heavy to manoeuvre. S😢till miss that bike.

    Sad you guys did not do your research before touching this beautiful motorcycle. The issue with the starter button is the screw underneath it that needs to be loosened a little. You also overtightened the screwed on the valve cover which will definitely leak soon. This bike requires everything to be torqued correctly. I hope you guys decide to read up on how to restore gl1100. I usually do not criticize anyone on the Internet but unfortunately gotten really sad seeing this video. I know you mean well though :)

    Bought a bike on online auction, front end damage. When it arrived, truck driver helped me unload it. Front wheel scraping tire so we didn't realize it was in gear until on the ground. Must have been in top gear when wrecked and no one changed, as the foot shift was bent against the frame and clutch cable broken. Engine was fine, but forks and frame by neck bent.
