- Hey guys!
Here's my video showing you how I rebuild a Honda Goldwing GL1100 into a Cafe Racer. The plan is to put it together with custom carbon fiber pieces, made by me. Check out my previous carbon fiber videos if you're interested. Part 2 will be coming soon! Really pleased with how this came our. If you watched all the way through leave a comment below and let me know what you think!
Enjoy! Thanks for watching.

Going to be starting my gl1100 REBUILD in the next month or two and this is exactly what I needed bless your soul
Hi
I’m glad the video will help you for your build. Let me know if you’ post any pictures on social media. I would love to check it out. 🏍🛠🤟
Funny, here I am 2 years later about to do the exact same thing!! Starting my GL1100 restore this winter. It’ll match my GL500 too.
great job man! is the best informational video I've seen so far about a goldwing
Thanks so much I appreciate it! 🛠🏍🤟

Excellent video, really well presented.
Hey! Thanks so much, I really appreciate it 👍
Ok, just started watching your build! Looking forward to seeing all of it and stealing some ideas!😁 Great job man!
Thanks so much!
I’m excited to share all my ideas and processes through the building. 🛠🏍🤟
Thank you I enjoyed watching this then any movie! Very inspiring.
Thanks so much!
i can watch this over and over,well done
I am buying an 80 gl1100 and going cafe style with it next year
That’s awesome man! Enjoy your build!
I had a little break with my project but I’ll be continue my GL very soon.
Thanks so much for the compliment. 🏍️🛠️🤘
Fantastic video very inspirational now just have to find a GL 🙌🏻👍🏻😃
Thanks so much!
Have you found a gl yet? 🏍🛠🤘
@@zrcarbon9937 yes, a 1977, bit of a mess but getting there, frame powder coated and ready, brakes done, color scheme selected. Carbs are 75% done, waiting for some seals for the cams, rebuilt the top end as I got it with a belt broken and had to check if the valves were bent. All good now I can turn it over by hand. Should look good in the end, just finished a CB 750 cafe racer and the wing will be slimmed down and customized as well. Keep up your videos!! Awesome
Excelente trabajo. Felicitaciones 🤝👏👏👏🇨🇴💓
Thanks so much! 🏍🛠🤟
Just curious, where did you source the main bearings and how did you resolve the color coding issue?
Cheers man.
Thanks so much for watching and appreciating my video🛠🤘
very good video, thank you
Thanks! 🤟
Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!🛠🏍🤟
Отличное видео! Спасибо!!!
Thanks so much! 🛠🏍🤟
Gutes Video
Thanks man 🏍️🛠️🤘
awesome videos! Did you buy an engine seal kit? If
so which one? If you didnt do you have a list of parts and seals purchased for the build. 1980 GL1100 blower build
Hey
I bought the aftermarket gasket and seal kit.
See links blow

If you planning to change the cylinder head gasket, buy the original don’t use aftermarket.
Cheers
Interesting! Though this video leaves me with even more questions than answers. What bore and stroke did you choose for this rebuilt engine? How much wider did you bore the cylinders? What are the new pistons you chose? What new camshafts have you chosen? How much more lift, duration and what difference is there of the timing? How much more torque and horsepower are you aiming for? What are the new gear ratios in the refreshed transmission? Thanks a lot! 🙂
Hey
I left everything like original. Only got new bearings and piston rings when I rebuilt the engine.
The bike only had 40K miles in when I took it to apart. It was stored horribly and I decided to powder coat the engine. That was the only reason why I rebuilt the whole thing. 🏍🛠🤟
@@zrcarbon9937exact same boat I’m in, do you have a video about figuring out the timing for it too?
Great video! I'm rebuilding a 75 right now and almost ready to join the two cases. Is the spring compressors really necessary for the left half case pistons? The manual says the left case cylinder bottoms are chamfered and don't need the compressor but this is the second video I've seen where they use them.
Hey!
Yes you will need the piston ring compressor.
Don’t bother to buy them just use two hose clamps. Those will work better and cheaper than the ring compressors.
Thanks for watching!
Ok GREAT, but, what to do when you find 2nd or 4th Gear in need of replacement. Seeing as I am in the US, CMSI shipping is nutz. David Silers does have a US warehouse, but, can't find gears anywhere.
Hey
I had a look on EBay and I just saw popping up this whole transmission In the us
I hope this is something you’re looking for 🛠🤘

@@zrcarbon9937 Cool, I am about to rip out the engine and revisited your vids. I was dumbfounded as to where that engine went, or what bike it went into. Did you do that for someone? ebay used stuff is 90% junk. not many used parts I ever got were usable so I stopped buying used ebay crap. I'd rather go out and buy a old stored bike cheap and part it out after I get donw with what I need. Which Really is what I did, BUT, My 83 is hugely different than the 81 I bought. Heck even 82 Aspencade parts are hugely different. not so much in the engine parts but brakes, (pistons and seals) in 83 H0nda started using a linked brake system that was continued onward but did not exist before 83. *2 also has a different set of pistons and seals. 80/81 are single piston brakes. 82 dual fronts and 83 dual front with 2 different size pistons.
How did you get the ring compressors out?
What gasket kit did you use with all the orings
Also, where did you get your main bearings?
I used these suppliers.

saludos de caracas Venezuela necesito el ramal eléctrico de la moto honda gol windg 1000 año 1977 y gracias por sus VIDEOS LOS TENGO GRABADOS
Hey! Thanks! I hope you enjoyed the video. More coming soon! 🛠🏍🤟
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🛠🛠🛠🛠
Thanks bud!
Bro.... Million $$ question.... How'd ya get the oil site glass out?? And the a replacement? I currently rebuilding 3 wings.. 75, an 81 and an 83 Aspencade...
Hey man!
I used gentle heat and size 10 socket to get it out. Re used the same glass. If the rubber is broken you can disassemble the site glass. Drill through the back about 3-4mm and the bolt will come out. Clean the rubber off the glass and you can install just a plain bolt m5 with rubber seal inside and outside or just use JB weld. You’ll see what I’m talking about when you get going in the project.
Awesome! I was concerned with leakage if I removed it. Good ol jb weld. Had a small amount of corrosion on the water gallery area of heads... Worked in jb weld... Works mint.
Just found a replacement for oil sight glass.... BMW... 👍👍
That’s great! Which model is it? Is it the GS?
@@zrcarbon9937 apparently covers all... F800, GS series and S1000 series.... Even BMW bloke said they finally got something right.
Im not 100% sure but I think the sight glass from Suzuki's Dl1000 and 650 also may fit. I need to confirm pricing but would be cheaper than bmw at $70 australian...
Where did you get the main bearings??

What happens if the oil sight glass wiper breaks. Mine is broken. And oil was sparkly
Change the oil and have a look how bad it is. Have a look at the metal mesh. You can pull it out and look for metal pieces in there.
I used some JB weld to fix a bolt after I took the glass wiper out. unfortunately for this part is difficult to find a replacement.
Where did you find your rod and main bearings??!!
Hi
I found them ages ago on the CMSNL website. www.cmsnl.com/honda-motorcycles_model2/#pageGL
I suggest you to find a machine shop and get them to machine and fit steel bearings in to your crankcase.
I hope that was helpful.

Looking for piston rings on 1985 goldwing
Hi!
I guess you are looking for GL1200 piston rings.
Very easy to find rings for this model. Here is my suggestion.

Did you dismount the bike all Alone?
I did everything myself! 🛠🏍💪
Roloc wheel marks and silicone sealer? No.
Yes sir! Those were done! Very important!
Unfortunately I couldn’t record everything.
I mentioned this stuff in the video
Cheers 🛠🏍🤟
