Or close to it. This is actually my son's GL1000. He bought this to replace his first motorcycle, also a 1978 Gold Wing. It has under 30k on the odo but suffered from being parked with a full tank of gas around 2001. In the end we took parts from the other GL, a 100k mi beater, to get this one going. It's a sweet sounding motor, no chain slap, and much smoother running. Now we are doing the shakedown runs before the end of the riding season.

I was told to fill the take with gas if I am going for a long trip so that tank doesnt rust . is it true? Is that shat I am supposed to do?
