Please read fully: 1981 Honda GL500 SilverWing Interstate. Clean cleat title in hand. I purchased this to be a wintertime frame off restoration. I got a new job plus just purchased a house that needs some TLC and I am not going to have the time to restore this bike. The good: New tires front & rear! Have put about 100 miles on them. NEW Slipstreamer windscreen, new front brake master cylinder, rebuilt R.H. front brake caliper (was seeping). New front break pads. Pilot's seat profeshionally recovered and is VERY comfy! Battery is only about 6 months old. New foam grips. New H4 halogen headlight bulb. ALL lights work properly. I installed a new marine grade dual port USB charger neatly installed in front fairing and is activated when the ignition switch is turned on. Bike is licensed & insured and I have put aprox 150 miles on this bike in the last week. Runs smooth as a new one and rides smooth as butter! The bad: 1) Needs front timing cover gasket & seal replaced. It is not so bad that you can not ride the bike for several hundred miles at a time. It just seeps a bit and will leave oil drips on the floor when parked, , , , , much like my Harley did. :-/ I HAVE the gaskets (2 required) and the camshaft seal (part of the timing cover. May not be bad, but while it is off is a perfect time to go ahead and change it too ) and those parts will go with the bike. 2) The paint is fair at best. So, in summary, it is a good running, smoooooth riding, decent looking bike. Just needs a proper restoration ---or-- would make a good bobber project as the front fairing alone brings $300+ on e-bay. CASH OR TRADE ONLY. MUST have clean clear title in hand for your trade in. NO free rides. If you take it out for a test ride, I hold your cash in hand hostage till you bring it back safely. You wreck it, you bought it! Will trade for: GL1200 or a dual sport / Enduro bike. May consider other trades. I have waaaaaayyyyyy too much money invested in this already. My loss is your gain!

Up for sale is a 81 Honda XL500s duel sport enduro. It's sporting the camo theme. Starts first or second kick every time. It smokes a little from the exhaust on a cold start when the humidity is high from the condensation in the exhaust but goes away when the engine warms up. I found that if I put a bag over the exhaust about an hour after running it, the next time I start it up no smoke. Runs and idles great no problems. Has a MONSTER 500cc single cylinder engine!!!It was used on the streets from 81 until 87 then was mostly driven on the trails. It has a knobby tire in the back with plenty of tread and a regular enduro tire in the front with lots of tread as well. Replaced the stator cover, stator cover seal, and shifter shaft seal. Leaks no oil. I've replaced the foam filter, gave it a fresh coat of paint and I have it running on 91 octane. It was a rebuild from the junkyard in 87 and tagged as rebuilt so you can ride on licensed trail and also will make it easier to make street legal if that's the route you want to go. All of the switches are there. The title is still from the junkyard but the bike is clean. If you look up the vin# in Secretary of State it is clean and has never been in a flood or been stolen and it also shows that it is tagged as rebuilt there as well. I got it as a project because it was sitting in storage for 10 years. I rebuilt carb and did normal maintenance i.e. Spark plug, oil change, basic seals fuel filter etc. also installed a new key so now it won't start without one. Everything works including the headlight and is in good orderThis bike is very rare as it is the last year of the xl500s and the last year that the xl500 had duel shocks and it only has 4000 original miles. This thing is a beast, a monster and a legend. They will go anywhere and have PLENTY OF POWER. These thumpers last forever!!No clutch wheelies for days:) Asking 750 obo. No trades. Make me an offer. As long as post is up bike is still for sale.
