is an entire gl1000 front end (wheel/rotors,axle,calipers,master cylinder, trees (upper and lower),forks,brake hoses,good tire, superbike bars,steering dampener) worth 100 dollars? all in good, functional condition?

It would be worth it to me if I were in the market for those things. Is it worth it to you?

i'm looking at doing the conversion on my k4 750, dual brakes and all. the guy i got my coils from last week has offered me the entire front end off a gl1000 for a 100 dollar guitar i've been trying to get rid of

Gordon · « **Reply #3 on:** November 06, 2009, 04:08:44 PM »

Sounds like a good deal to me then. Something you want for something you no longer want.

bucky katt · « **Reply #4 on:** November 06, 2009, 04:29:37 PM »

and theres a telefix fork brace available for them too, so when i can afford it i can get one, which is cool too.

Let us know how it works out(sounds like a good and done deal),Bill

Swap away Bucky, its quite hard to sell cheap guitars as they are everywhere but that front end is definitely a bit harder to find. I would already have it if it was me...

DEAL!!!

It seems to me that it'd be hard to find a steering dampener and a set of superbike bars for under $100, go for it.

i had looked at this goldwing when i was out there last week picking up the coils and this goldwing has never ever lived outside. except for the damage in the rear, the bike looks like it just rolled out of the showroom. all i need now is a rear wheel assembly from a spoked wheel cb750a or some cheap spokes to fit the spoked 750a or a 77/78k rear spokes and i'll be set.

Good luck finding cheap spokes for that wheel

If you don't move on that telefix keep me in mind

i think it's fast from the past that has the fork braces for the gl1000 front ends

I'm hoping you've traded before he changes his mind!! That's not a trade, that's stealing.....

Yeah they do or at least did back when I was looking at them, I just don't think my rectum can stretch enough for someone to reach all the way through my nose, back around to my wallet and back through again. $:-\$

i think that theyre around 100 dollars or so? though by the time i have the money they may not have them anymore lol

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #18 on:** November 07, 2009, 11:56:12 AM »

I wouldn't be worried too much Fuzzy, the stiffer 37mm GW tubes will reduce fork flex (particularly if tied together with the OEM GW fender) so you'll notice an improvement straight away, and you'll also notice one hell of an improvement in the braking department with the GW's dual front discs, so like everyone else here says, go for it!

Randakk has fork braces for the GL, but they are a bit more expensive.

One suggestion is to get a smaller master cylinder (5/8 inch) to use with the stock GL calipers. It makes a world of difference when trying to get the stock brakes performing.

I got an early GL wheel here, I want 60 bux for the discs + shipping...
