picked up a 84 goldwing 1200, ive always worked with flat 4 engines VW / Subaru, even put a set of idf44 carbs on a subaru block, trying to hunt down another set for this goldwing i just got, stock carbs where pretty bad. thanks for posting this, helps motivate to find some carbs
Beautiful job! My 76 is just too nice of original condition to do this to, but you may have inspired me to find another bike to do this to. Awesome!
Nice work Jim! Sounds incredible.
i love the sound. great job
Amazing sound and runs great.
Sounds Super Sweet!!
Yes sounds amazing very responsive.
Awesome sound
sounds great.👍
Great sound
It's got a definite intake snarl.
I wonder if there was more clearance because I used a '75 tank shelter in place of the orig. '78 tank shelter.
Do you know if the GL1000 Corbin Gunfighter can fit on the GL1200?
Love it
sounds awesome, which Weber carburetors model did you use? any recommendation? I am dealing to get some for my 1977 GL1000. Will appreciate some advise.
Hey, just bought a gl1100 and am fascinated with this carb setup as a future modification. Can you tell me about your exhaust setup, seat option, and any other mods
Nice work - I hear that if you leave the gas petcock open and leave it leaning on the side kickstand that you have to watch out for hydrolocking
Not the owner but this makes sense. The bmw bricks had similar issues.
What kind of power increase does it give?
Love those GL on Weber carbs!
Btw what front brake discs did you use to fit them on your original Comstar rims??
Thks mate
did you have to change the jets to get it to run properly? and if so could you please share what they are
What did you use for front brakes? What rotors? What calipers? Have you done any videos on the build?
I want one!!!
I just got a 78 gl1000 goldwing it needs carb work but runs thats what the guy told me its in great condition all around im not sure where your located but im close to houston texas and im looking for someone to take a look at my goldwing i love this one
If you haven't done your carbs yet. Check out Pistol Pete. www.oldwings.com/
Checked out a bunch of your other videos and it looks like a lot of them are here in Alaska. I'm in Anchorage and I am building a 1978 Honda GL1000 with about 10,000 original miles. I am just now setting up my Randakk Weber conversion. I picked up a set of brand new Weber ID40 Model 70 carbs. I would like to see your bike sometime. It's good to see other people in this town riding something other than Harleys.
JRWperformance Glad to see someone else is as twisted as I am. Happy to get together with you. How do we connect w/o facebook getting in the way?
my email is my username @yahoo.com
What happens if you get caught in a rain storm?
Shot in the dark.. idk if you’ll respond but will this work on a 1984 gl1200
Hi Jim, I am a new owner of a '76 GL 1000 and have no idea where to start in getting it running... is there somewhere I could take the bike to have a once-over done on it and make sure its running? Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!
Wade Nelson oh yeah, I am in Wasilla
Wade Nelson Wade - I don't know of anyone locally to take on your bike. Have you checked out www.Randakks.com? There is a wealth of info telling exactly what to do to resurrect an older GW.
TOO kool...
Why is this the only good sounding Goldwing? I've listened to a lot of GL Goldwing 4 cylinders in videos, and all of them sound like they are running on 2 or 3 cylinders, and they just don't have that strong Subaru sound. Your engine sounds like a proper Subaru 2.2 Liter high compression boxer, it's a scary sound. Can you make more videos about the sound? Or do you have others?
is this bike for sale in Vegas?
Are the manifold standard or have you had them made?
Bad Ass!
Are those real webbers or knockoffs?
No. My GL1000 is located in Alaska.
jim meyer But, it could be for sale...
I'm guessing those are ID44s? Also, what brakes are those on the front?
I'm guessing weber 40idf
Assuming this is a 1000cc engine 44s would be overkill so I’m guessing 40 idf

Just one question. Why? What is wrong with the original carb set up. This engine
sounds really sweet for such an old bike. Why fit carbs that were made for a V8
engine. It doesn't need them, its such a pointless exercise.
Gary Dunn It seems a lot of what people do may be pointless to some. But, in this case, the carb swap adds increased performance levels that suit the bike perfectly. What could be wrong with that?
jim meyer OK point taken. Just one more question, I noticed that the airintakes on those carbs run up the sides of the dummy fuel tank, which as you will know, opens to store tools and so on. Is the storage area in thedummy fuel tank now inaccessible?
Gary Dunn Removing the stock carbs and air box opened much more space inside the tank shelter. I found a plastic container that fits perfectly inside and now, can carry all the usual stuff, like tools, cameras, phone, etc, etc. I love it. The tank shelter sidecovers also remove easily, w/o interference from the stacks/air cleaners.

Better wear a fire suit and shave your forearms while riding...in case it backfires...lol
IncenseNation .com Yeah, I wondered about that happening, but the bike is in tune and that hasn't been an issue. Thankfully.
Make sure ur choke block off plates are 100% not leaking an ya keep it from goin lean an ya should be fine hopefully
...junk. 😕
