1984 Honda Goldwing barn find. Will it run after sitting for 12 plus years?

[@adamlanglois563]

The struggle of moving chunky non running bikes is real. Been there done that, good effort 👍

[@HeadgearGarage]

I appreciate it. This thing now runs and is still a beast to move around my shop! 🤣

[@susansatterlee3188]

❤it was awesome to see you and your nephew working on your father in laws bike! I’m sure your mom in law will enjoy the ride!

[@Merthyr-Dave]

Lovely looking bike. I would love it

[@HeadgearGarage]

Thank you. I appreciate it.

1:39, if the former owner did the work of building this ramp, for sure this machine was well cared for. Plus, it's a Honda Goldwing. My Prediction: Runs and drives after a carb clean. Maybe a stuck brake. 7:55, no stuck brakes :) 11:30, service manual onboard + receipts? Yup, probably drained it before storing it, won't even need a carb clean. 16:52, music collection, rain gear, & air pump indicates they actually toured on the thing. Then again who buys a Goldwing to go around the block? 18:47, more service history & low miles. Yup, this machine was pampered all its life. Will run like a watch. 21:52, not drained then, but I am still betting it was run dry before storage, carbs are going to be spotless. 29:03, no gallop, sounds like healthy, even compression (no surprise there). 29:09, haha, told ya, now ride it to the nearest car wash! 34:59, or clean it where it is, that works too, dang she cleaned up nice! Congratulations, subscribed!

Awesome comment! Thank you for the detailed response. Big plans for it and it will be back on the channel soon.

Wow! She's a credit to your Father in law, got plenty of life left in her yet! 40 years old and waiting for the next road trip.

[@HeadgearGarage]

Thank you. He definitely loved the bike and it shows. We are looking forward to the first ride.

[@GerryPowell-r6s]

One loved bike.

[@HeadgearGarage]

It was definitely his baby.

[@nigelbeaumont1109]

After polishing it should go into a Museum. Beautiful Bike. 35K miles, barely broke in.

[@HeadgearGarage]

Stay tuned for the next video on it as I be polishing it all. 😉

[@bennyt.christensen3970]

They do not build them as good as this anymore 😁👍

[@HeadgearGarage]

I agree!

[@craigjorgensen4637]

Nice bike! Don’t care for the customer pinstripes but someone did!

[@HeadgearGarage]

It is not my flavor either but the original owner definitely loved it.

[@DougMelnyk]

Don't thread the dipstick in when checking oil level.

[@HeadgearGarage]

Thank you for the advice. I appreciate it

[@raydickson1485]

There is the stuff out there called goof off that takes road tar everything off. It’s a good product, try it

[@HeadgearGarage]

I actually have some of that but I found that Rapid Remover works great for the adhesives and sticky stuff. It is what I used on this bike.

[@cerealtiller]

cold Start Full Choke NO Throttle

[@aa-xh6em]

I would definitely take all of the aftermarket really ugly bling off. It will clean up the bikes look and save 40 pounds in weight😅

[@HeadgearGarage]

I may do that in the future as it is not my style either.

[@jaapbruijn1300]

That‘s not incredible…..that‘s Honda!!

[@HeadgearGarage]

I couldn’t agree more!

[@jamesmatthews2966]

That's a Honda they run forever

[@michaelchaney5962]

It’s a Honda. Of course it will run

[@HeadgearGarage]

I truly expected it to run but not before cleaning the carbs. Nope just fired right up and idled like it was shutdown the day before!

[@michaelchaney5962]

Yea no carb cleaning is a gift. Maybe go play the lotto

[@HeadgearGarage]

@ lmao I didn’t even think of that but you are right!

[@jefferybeining-oy2eu]

That motorcycle is just broken in

[@HeadgearGarage]

Couldn’t agree more. I have more to do on it. Coming soon

Toms Cycle in Indiana, PA? 10 mins from my hometown

[@HeadgearGarage]

I have heard of them but haven’t ever been there. I am in Indiana all the time though so I will definitely be checking them out. Going to need parts for sure.

[@ScottSpencer716]

@HeadgearGarage grew up in Homer City. Four wheelers and motorcycles always went to Tom's cycle for major work. Now I live up in Buffalo New York but come down and visit frequently.

[@susansatterlee3188]

@@ScottSpencer716, do you stop for Bobs pizza while you are visiting?

[@ScottSpencer716]

@@susansatterlee3188 now and again I do. Other times I'll go to 9th St Deli for a sub. Or I'll stop at Sanzo's in Homer City

@ , I’ll have to try Sanzos…I’ve never been. Thanks for the recommendation!
