even an old goldwing looks amazing

I really agree, this one cleaned up super nice!

Thank you very much!! Really appreciate it!

[@markwarren-s9h]

you are living the dream !! dont you just love taking those plastics off? love your videos !! i have a gl1500se !!

[@octanerestorations]

It can get old😂😂 Thank you very much!!

[@chrisstaylor8377]

How come you didn’t clean under the covers

[@octanerestorations]

I had a few reasons not to including the customer did not want to pay for it, and #2 I was worried about the effects of cleaning agents including water would have on the items underneath the fairing of this older bike! Last thing i wanted was to get some moisture into those connections. This bike has lived in a desert its whole life and most of that was really caked on. I did use an air compressor and a blower but neither of them worked to get the dirt off!

[@cyberickus]

I can’t work on things that are that dirty a light cleaning makes the job much better

[@everydaylife1127]

clean outside dirty inside keep all clean good job for the goldwing

[@octanerestorations]

Thank you! The customer did not want to pay for the cleaning on the inside!

[@johnleesdad]

Makes sense, but I would definately clean anything that I removed , thanks for the reply.

[@octanerestorations]

If it was mine I would have! But the customer was not gonna pay for it! Thanks for the comment!

[@RayoMcQuenn]

Ahora entiendo, xq me cuestioné lo mismo. Cómo es que no limpiabas x dentro antes de volver a armar todo 😂. Cliente que no paga no merece todo impecable😂

[@larryleisuresuit9584]

Nice, I am going to go clip my toenails ( I mean, restore my feet ) LOL JK. Looked like the paint and stuff was all jacked up ( Like mine ) and maybe some panels damaged or something like that. I am guessing that you just live in Oklahoma or somewhere that dirt is like Oklahoma and that bike was a big ole dirty clogged up behemoth. weird, I have a 98 and I cannot look through where my steering is and see the ground. I have a kit I bought, it's kind of industrial looking , it's 3 different bottles of stuff, basically a 3 part Plastic restoration type thing. it works super on the all my controls and buttons, got the windshield crystal clear and sealed it ( do still use the rain away stuff on it though, all that white dusty look comes right off the black plastic and it doesn't leave anything oily like armor all or products like that, dry as a bone and brand spanking looking. seems like it's running like a top! Congrats.

[@octanerestorations]

You're correct, it definitely was not in the best shape! I dont live in oklahoma but the texas panhandle! Sounds like a great cleaner from what you described. It is, thank you very much!

[@Berealwiteachother]

I need mines repaired! Where are you located? No one wants to work on Goldwings

[@octanerestorations]

I am located in west texas! And you're right it sucks that shops won't touch them. Most shops won't touch goldwings older then 10-15 years

[@Lombardini490]

👍👍👍Beautiful!👍👍👍 But, where is the restoration? Only cleaning carb and fuel pump? I want to see piston rings, valves, bearings from gearbox, cluch😊

[@octanerestorations]

Haha, the goldwing I am currently doing is the video for you! From new tires, to fixing hydraulic valves, to no compression, to seized starter, etc! It'll be a good one!

[@Lombardini490]

@@octanerestorations I can't wait to see the movie!

[@octanerestorations]

@@Lombardini490 I have "Episodes" on my channel about it but once it is finally completed I will make a long time lapse restoration of it! Thank you!

[@rayworx]

I've worked on wings since 75 and (retired 6 years ago) they will usually get 200k miles plus before needing anything other than carb cleaning and tires and tuneup parts. I've only had 2 apart into the cases and even then the rings/valves were in great condition.

[@Scooterguru76]

Why is he pumping the rear master cylinder and bleeding the front caliper? Isnt the foot for the rear and front master on the right handle bar for the front brakes?

[@octanerestorations]

Most motorcycles yes! But these motorcycles have what is called a link brake system. The pedal controls the front left and rear brake, while the handlebar lever only controls front right brake. It is supposed to give you more even braking with this heavy motorcycle. Thank you for the comment!

[@carlosalbertosalgadopalaci3535]

Hola amigo espero q estés bien quiero preguntarte cuanto vale una cuatrimoto grande gracias amigo

[@johnleesdad]

Why Didn't you clean the parts you took off before you re fitted them to the bike

[@octanerestorations]

The customer did not want me to! This was a motorcycle for someone else and they just wanted it running!

[@DavidM2002]

@@octanerestorations If it was for a customer, I would have told them to give it a thorough cleaning first or fix it yourself. Nothing worse than having to work through a pig stye. You are a brave man OR.

you seriously left all the dust under the plastics?? what job is it? It doesn't only need to be clean outside. It will suck all the dust back again through the air filter

شكرًا لك!

[@goldenscales]

I'm a tad confused - what part of this video is the Restoration? You got a dirty bike, got it running, gave it a pressure washing, (on the outside only), and took it for a ride out to the local gas station. The bike is still filthy as fuck, there are still obvious parts that need replacing, (which I doubt, because everything tells me you'll flick the bike as soon as possible). So, where is the 'Restoration' part of the video? What did I miss?

[@johneire5016]

Is it my imagination or do those handle bars look bent.

[@octanerestorations]

It probably was the camera angle, this was shot on a gopro with a wide angle lense!

[@arnaldosalinas4923]

Se ve limpia por fuera.y por dentro???

[@octanerestorations]

El cliente no quería pagar por la limpieza del interior!

[@marktyme0379]

All panels off, didnt clean behind any of them, front disc covers off, forks filthy, didnt clean off, just put all the covers back on, not even an oil change, thats not a resto in my opinion.

[@octanerestorations]

It got an oil change! Just not a video of it.

[@Leiberg101]

If you already had all the panels off, why not wash it under there?

[@Leiberg101]

I’m SO happy to hear that 🤣🤣 As an old car detailer, it hurt my eyes, but get why now. I’m just weird with stuff like that 🙈 Have a great weekend 🥳 And keep up the good work 💪🏼

[@randypnunn]

but why not at least blow some ofm that dust off before you put it back together ???

[@octanerestorations]

I did with an air compressor! this thing has lived in a desert since it was new, so this stuff would have to be power washed, or at the minimum mechanically agitated off. It was for a customer, and he didn't want to pay for the cleaning of that! Plus I was also concerned about the electricals

[@bvgb921]

That wasn't a restoration, put the bike back together filthy, only cleaned what the eye could see.

[@octanerestorations]

Sorry you feel that way! I had a few reasons not to including the customer did not want to pay for it, and #2 I was worried about the effects of cleaning agents including water would have on the items underneath the fairing of this older bike. Thank you for the comment though!

[@vernebrown4441]

I feel that way too. Eng blow up yet? I NO SEE timing belts replaced. They should have been the first thing you took care of as it is age, NOT miles to when to replace! Yes i do have an 89 GL1500 that I put over 120K on it.

[@nandansho]

You forgot the windscreen.

[@octanerestorations]

The customer was planning on replacing it!

[@radovanhanak1620]

Our concept of restoration is different..The video is just washing and refueling..Such a small service...

[@octanerestorations]

If you'll look on my channel the current one has everything from fixing hydraulic valves, to carburetor rebuild, to changing all the tires and brakes, to rebuilding the starter, etc!

[@diegohperez6434]

Well restored anything is like taking everything apart completely clean organized part for part painting what is supost to paint same colour and then put together that I resteroration thanks

[@octanerestorations]

On my channel there is another GL1500 restoration, where I had to do a lot more including fixing no compression! I also completely polished and ceramic coated it, you might like that restoration better!

[@BobbySchaffer]

goldwing dunk tank , lower it into liquid soap for a month .

[@octanerestorations]

That would work!😂

[@nlanni]

I know this was months ago, but doesn't restoration include cleaning the bike under the saddle? The thing is filthy and he rushes to put all the plastic back for every minute thing he does. The parts can't handle a million disassembles/assembles without breakage. Why not consolidate a bunch of operation for each area? Maybe this boy thinks a clean restoration only the dirt you can see from the outside? Makes me cringe. Why note take all the panels off, give the underside a good cleaning and survey what may need to be done next? Maybe all he wants to do is take it for ride. Yep, just as I thought bleeds the brakes and slap that cover on it. Saddle bags just full of with dirt. Really looking forward to this series but I can't take it.

I would not call this a good restoration, maybe an up date for lack of maintenance.

Hello Dean. This was meant to be the entire process in one video. If you want slower videos in real time check the channel, I have this video broken down into 12 different parts in real time with narration. I also have a 1988 GL1500 I am restoring that I am currently on part 19 of the slowed down videos that are more likely what you are looking for.
