ClaudeAI Is giving me what I’d consider a very high value.

2500 original miles

1988 1500 been stored inside heated garage under cover.

Clean title, one owner. original bill of sale. keys, tool kit owner manual etc. Also have registrations showing low miles each year.

last registered 1996. I don’t believe it’s been started since then

A little dusty but no tears cracks or dents. Should clean up fine.

Basically my father bought it new in 89 because it was good deal and never really used it… had an 85 he preferred and put a 100k miles on.

Havent tried to start or do anything to it yet. Probably will list as is “barn find”

Bought this year for $1700 - put roughly 1000 miles on it so far.

1984 Honda GL1200A Gold Wing Aspencade - 45k Miles - Turnkey Vintage Tourer

Description:

Selling a turnkey, incredibly reliable 1984 Honda Gold Wing Aspencade (GL1200A) with only 45,000 original miles. If you know these bikes, you know they are legendary cross-country cruisers, but finding one that has been mechanically sorted and isn't a "project" is rare.

Reason for Selling:

I absolutely love this bike on the open highway and around my small town, but my daily riding has shifted heavily toward commuting into NYC. As incredible as this "couch-on-wheels" is for long trips, it is simply too large and heavy for the stop-and-go city traffic I now find myself in daily. Looking for a DCT rebel now.

It's in perfect running condition and is ready to ride cross-country today. I have meticulously addressed the common pain points of this generation so the next owner won't have to.

Extensive Recent Maintenance (Less than 500 miles ago):

• Timing Belts Replaced: Fresh belts installed (crucial for these interference engines).

• Carburetors Synced: Professionally balanced; pulls smoothly across the rev range and idles perfectly.

• Full Fluid Flush: Fresh engine oil, coolant, differential shaft oil, and brake/clutch fluid.

• Electrical System Overhaul: Brand new regulator/rectifier and upgraded fuse box installed under the false tank (completely eliminating the notorious factory charging system weak points).

Previous owner replaced roughly 1500 miles ago:

Fork seals

Starter

Starter solenoid

Brakes

Tires

Modifications & Additions:

• Custom Exhaust Upgrade: The original factory downturn pipes were neatly trimmed at the ends and fitted with high-quality 4.5-inch clamp-on exhaust extensions. This looks great and successfully directs all exhaust fumes out past the bags and away from the rider/passenger cockpit.

Condition & Electronics:

• 100% Functioning Electronics: Every single piece of 1980s retro tech works flawlessly. The digital LCD dashboard is crisp, the onboard air-suspension compressor functions perfectly, and the factory radio system works great.

• Includes all original accessories: Factory toolkit, original owner’s manual, and the hard-to-find original protective carpet mats inside the trunk.

Cosmetic Notes:

The bike looks great but shows minor, honest cosmetic wear expected from a 40+ year-old machine. The previous owner had a low-speed tip-over at a stoplight on the left side. This resulted in a small, minor bend in the left handlebar and a scratch on the left mirror housing. It does not affect the steering geometry, tracking, or riding safety at all, but I want to be completely transparent.

Hey guys!

I have a 2006 Honda Goldwing I bought recently and the heel toe shifter is coming loose making shifting difficult. It seems to have this weird 2 pin screw where I believe it needs to be tightened but I'm not sure what tool I need to tighten it. If anyone has any idea, it would be a great help! Thanks!
