I am trying to sell them and I don't know the exact year or model Honda GL.

I believe they are off of an 1100 or a 1200. As for what year, maybe late 80's.

Not sureon the 1200 but look to be 1100's I have not been in the yard to refrence it but I have a 75 and a 79. I think the 1200's had fork brace's built into the fork's. The way the caliper is connected seem's to be different than mine. not to sure can't see well with the paint.

The headlight ears/signal brackets are '79 or later. Don't know how long they were like that or when they started using air caps on the fork tubes.

I'd guess '80-'81. They look like single piston calipers. I beleive it was '82 they went to dual piston calipers. There is however a ditinct possibility I could be wrong. Not at home to look at my '78 or '82.
A good bike mechanic only needs two tools, WD40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move, but should, use the WD40. If it does move but shouldn't use the duct tape.
