A new acquisition

[1980GS1000E]

After owning this for about a month now, I figured I might as well post it up-

It runs fine, but things need to be fixed/cleaned up/adjusted.

The cam chains are loose, I had to replace a broken tachometer drive cam cap, the clutch fingers are notched and the basket has the slop that they all get, it charges but the lights flicker every three seconds, etc. Completely stock except for the chromed covers which I am looking to replace. I am going to pull the sump to see what kind of gook is in there. It's got 60000 miles.

That is a looker!

Makes the current CB1100 look downright ugly.

Nice looking example and the faster red model, too.
You have probably already discovered it but www.cb1100f.net is an excellent site for the CB-F series.

Absolutely, they have been very helpful. Parts for these things are hard to come by.

Very nice....looks great even at 60k.

 

[GSX1000E]

How much/little did you have to give for it?

One of a very few Hondas on my short list.

Nice.

Mine to.Not to bust 1980GS1000E's chops but this belongs in "Other Bikes".

Yeah, you're right. I paid 2600.
