I restore old Honda GL500's GL650's CX500's 650's and Turbo’s. I’m a retired Master Mechanic and have owned and worked on these bikes since 1978. I have always loved these bikes and thought they were way ahead of their time since I bought my first new 1982 GL500. I’ve learned a lot of tricks to improve things on these bikes and I do all these things when I do my restorations. I try to build the closest thing to a new bike. I always ride them as much as I can and never turn them loose before they’re ready. I also build custom bikes and Cafe racers out of these bikes but I never cut up a bike that can be restored. I take a lot of pride in what I do and get a lot of satisfaction out of them when they’re finished. I’ve made many friends doing this and will continue to do it as long as my health holds out. I’m more than happy to give free advice and technical help to anyone who’s needs it. You can contact me at Murphymotors@yahoo.com. Please subscribe if you like my videos. Thank you

1982 GL500 Silverwing. Showroom condition
Are side bag seals available for these bikes. I just bought a 24k mile bike in excellent condition with full luggage and trunk for $200 It sat in garage for 20 years. I have a pair of 1969 honda cb750 with sequential vin numbers. Both bikes under 500 miles. They were part of an abandoned Honda dealer/shop I bought in an estate sale along with 2 haul trucks full of new parts. Badges. Decals. 1 new 750 crate motor. 2 complete sets of new in package 69,or so body work. Blue candy over flake and red set. Thinking of selling both bikes. Any idea what they are selling for. Both still have original tires and look as close to show room as they get. My back is getting to bad to enjoy riding and hate seeing these bikes sitting. Would like to see them have a deserving home and get a fair price. Any suggestion on price would be appreciated. Also be willing to sell off all the parts in 1 sale. Have a bunch of honda dealer tools. Stacks and boxes of factory repair manuals. Brochures. Owners books. You name it. Everything is not honda from early 60s to mid 70s. Far too much to catalog for 1 person.

Looks like a really nice driver. You are right, the blinkers look good the way they are. Awesome job as always Kevin.
That's in amazing shape. WOW
Thank you. It’s not too hard when you start with a well taken care of bike.
Amazing job as always Kevin. I have a cosmo black as well with a dealer added vetter which is good and bad news. Good news in the winter and bad news in the summer. You make all that restoration stuff sound so easy. Take care and keep in keeping on.
@@kevinsharp641Thank you. I just took a whole load of Vetter fairings to the dump. I even tried giving them away and nobody wanted them.😉
Excellent job, she's a beauty...
Thank you
Nice one Murphy. Missing you here at the King's Royal.
@@terryshoemaker1430 me too the weather looks perfect
It's beautiful, Perfect weather this year.
I used to have a GL500I for eight years or so. After a break, I now have the GL650I. Great on the freeway.
Dude buy my mess of a bike 😂
Send me pictures and location Murphymotors@yahoo.com
where did you get those valve covers? do you have any extra?
Hermosa motocicleta!!!
That is absolutely stunning!
Thank you
Nice machine! I had a gl500 Silverwing, and always wanted one these 650 Interstates.
what was wrong with the carburetor?
Hey kev u know were I can get a spark plug boot with the square cover for 83 650 silverwing or one that will work there hard to find on ebay
Do you have the square cover because the rest is the same?
@@Murphymotorsocala Its the square cover but i lost it and broke the plug
Will the cc 650 gL 500s work
The gl500 will work.
@@Murphymotorsocala ok thanks buddy
I have a 1982 Interstste and I need an OEM choke cable. Any suggestions Love your videos a lot!!! Thanks.
Thank you. The OEM ones are almost impossible to find now. The aftermarket ones don’t stay pulled out. I’d try to find a good used one on eBay but that’s a gamble also.
Another fine ride from Murphy Motors.
Thanks
Great video & great restoration! I bought a beautiful 82 GL500 Interstate a week ago, and would like to take the front fairing off and add the front turn signals and headlight from the “standard” GL500. Any recommendations on where to look for parts?
Those parts are getting scarce. You’ll need the turn signals and brackets, headlight bracket and headlight, the radiator trim. Ant the horn mount and trim if you want to do it like factory. It will be a standard with dual discs. Also the standard has the Honda emblems in the tank.
@@Murphymotorsocala Thanks for the advice! Are there any good websites I should look for those parts on, or should I just buy a parts bike?
@@friskymacaw6430 a parts bike would be the way to go it just keep looking at eBay.
I’ve got an ‘82 SilverWing with less than 19k? Miles on it. Runs great. Looks battle scarred but that’s the way I got it. Mostly. I love the bike, even if it is ugly as all get out
Dude those vale covers are sick where can I find some? Is the a link to where I can get them?
They were after market made in Japan in the early 80’s. They pop up on eBay every once in a while.
What a beauty! That's the bike I wanted to ride across country in 1981. But I was a poor college student and couldn't afford a new one. So I bought a 1978 used Honda Hawk 400 instead. It got me there and back. I saw lots of these and the old BMW flat engine bikes out on the long road. I don't have the itch to buy a GL500 anymore but it would be fun to ride one and see if it was everything I thought it was.
This exact model was my first bike.
Please let me know when your next project is done, so I can buy. I will email you my address.
I’ll be doing a GL500 standard and a CX500 Deluxe. I don’t have another Interstate at the moment.
Looks and sounds just beautiful! I had one just like this in Canada. Travelled up to Montreal, down to Annapolis, through some ferocious thunderstorms.
Thank you they’re still great bikes after all these years.
no choke and idles like a champ. Makes me think I goofed on my carb rebuild
Email me at Murphymotors@yahoo.com These were way too lean in 81-82. I jet them up a little and always replace the pilot jets with new ones. But that’s just me.
Looks like a perfect driver especially after you have gone through it. Great job!
Thank you. Come take it for a ride. It won’t be around very long.
I have the exact bike 1982 gl500 interstate full fairing with cassette dex stereo cruise control all the extras, I'd love to have it redone less than 5,000 mi I'm the original owner

Do you work on gl 650s if I bring you 1? Im from jupiter fl - thanks
Sorry but I don’t do any customer work. I just build my own bikes. I buy bikes if you’re interested in selling.
I have a 1983 Silverwing GL650 Interstate I picked up in NC a month ago. I already put 600 miles on it. I love these bikes.
I just sold a 650 to a guy in North Carolina a few months ago.
Serendiptous
I’d like next opportunity on this one if the first guy passes, please? Thanks.
Ok I’ll let you know
Send me an email at Murphymotors@yahoo.com I’ll put you up next. These bikes have become very popular and I’m constantly traveling to buy them.
Send me your contact information
How much ya asking for it. It's perfect, iv ben looking for this bike for a long while now. 😊
This one is long gone. Bikes like this don’t last long.
@Murphymotorsocala yeah, I figured. Keep your eyes open for one if ya could, I think parts for the 500 are more avaliable. 👌
@@Albert-my3yt email me at Murphymotors@yahoo.com
@@Murphymotorsocala will do,👍
I want to buy that if its for sale and you still have it. Please.
This one is gone. I’m working on nice Gl500 interstate but I think it’s sold already also. My email address is Murphymotors@yahoo.com these bikes sell about as fast as I can build them. If your not in s hurry send me and email and you’ll be next up for the next one.
beautiful
Thank you
Nice rebuild. Well done!
Thanks!
I need new tires on my GL500i. Do you have a favorite brand you use?
The Shinko 777’s are great in these I also use the Kenda Challenger’s. I quit using the Shinko 712’s I was having trouble with the front ones. Tires are a personal choice and depends on how much you want your spend.
Thank you. And, thanks for keeping the GL500/CX500 bloodline alive!
How much for this bike?
@@tylerroden2584sold they don’t last long
Great work!
Thank you
Love these bikes and your work to preserve them.
Thank you
Looks beautiful as always Kevin. Looking forward to riding with you if my wife and I can ever get rid of this Influenza A that has been dogging us.
Glad to hear your doing good after your shoulder operation. I've had my Gl500 Interstate for a few years now, these bikes are stone cold reliable, with minimum service, the bikes been a simple joy to own. I'm happy a few people like yourself are still able to keep these bikes on the road! Nice Bike!
Thank you
welcome back from your surgery and this one looks as nice as they all do
Thank you.
I love your bike, congratulations. I live in Brazil, but I have an apartment in Orlando where I had a 1982 Honda 750 Nighthawk for a few years. It made me happy for many years, but I got tired of having to clean the 4 carburetors every year, because it sat idle for many months when I returned to Brazil. I'm a mechanical engineer and my pride wouldn't let anyone help me. Now I have a 2014 Honda CB1100 that I bought from my friend who bought it new. It has 6,000 miles and no problems due to fuel injection. I think it's perfect for a 60 year old man like me. ua-cam.com/video/Nd9TsFs0-p4/v-deo.html
You can’t let these old bikes sit like that. If you ride them they go forever.
You're absolutely right, but unfortunately I can't stay out of Brazil for long time@@Murphymotorsocala
Beautiful. Love these bikes. I have an 82. My favorite commuter bike!!
Thank you me too.
Very glad to hear you are recovering well! This unit looks and sounds great; I would expect no less of you. Reminds me that poor old "Imoto" has been waiting for a couple of years now for me to set her straight. I have a whole low-mile GL500 Interstate (minus frame, forks, and wheels) sitting waiting to be integrated with it. But I have the 2012 NC500X, and I bought an old wooden sailboat last summer, so I have been distracted, I guess. This clip really makes me miss the sheer pleasure of riding a 500 Interstate. I strongly advise any curious buyers to get this thing- nobody makes a sport touring bike like this anymore, and Murph is the guy to buy one from.
Thanks Sean
Congrats on the successful shoulder rebuild. Good for another 100k 😉
Thank you. It seems like it.
Eine Meisterarbeit für das beste Motorrad der Welt. Unkaputtbar, läuft immer.... Ich hab eine 650er und eine 500 als Gespann mir Beiwagen. Es gibt nichts besseres......
Super machine, a part le joint mécanique fragile et la roue libre de démarreur , sinon oui bonne bécane , j'ai toujours ma moto Gl 650 de 1984 (RC10) qui a 65000 kms .
I've always wanted one
Is this bike still for sale?
This one was sold before I even started on it. I have 2 really nice 500 interstates coming up next but I’m getting a shoulder replacement this Friday so it will be a while. You can email me at Murphymotors@yahoo.com if you’re not in a hurry I can put you first up on the next GL650 Interstate or one of the 500’s.
I juat picked up one of these over on the West coast. Looking at the spark plugs it's been running quite rich. I've got the shop manual, but I've never really worked on carbs and I'm having a lot of difficulty understanding how to adjust the carbs to be more lean. Could I email you for some advice/help on this?
It’s unusual for these to run rich. They were pretty lean from the factory. In rack I richen them up when I rebuild them. The air filter may be clogging up or the choke may be sticking in a little. Is it running hot OK? If you’re checking the plugs you need to give it a long highway run to clear them out before you try to read them. Also if it’s been sitting the oil maybe washed out with gas. I’d give it an oil change, new air filter and a new set of NGK plugs. You can email me at Murphymotors@yahoo.com
Beautiful work.
Thank you. It got a good home too.
