Awesome, Thank you...
Any comments... It's a 2000 conversion with 26,000 miles located about 400 miles from me. Asking $13,300.
If its for real with that few miles its a good buy even if it is a 2000 model conversion. I wouldn't be sending any money unless you know more about the seller and the trike, but yes that's a good deal in my opinion. The GL1500s are bulletproof bikes.

I agree it's a good deal if it checks out mechanically. When I was looking in the spring I ran across a number of trike conversions that were a few years older and they were running as high as $18,000 and none lower than $16,000.
There are a couple websites that can do the checking on a VIN for a few bucks. I used one ( can't remember which one) when I was looking and I bought my current trike. Useful info ( accidents, clear title, when triked) and peace of mind.
Has the Unit "Sat" for an extended period?
Given the low miles, that is a distinct possibility. Idle/Down Time is the "Achilles Heel" of the GL1500 (or any multi-carb'd unit).
The analog electronics and most importantly, the Carbs, are very adversely affected by not operating. Cleaning/Rebuilding and re-Sync'ing them is quite a job and can get expensive real fast. The wiring, switches, and activators are also a Bear to diagnose and correct.
Ask and check it all out REAL good. Other than those, as others have said-Bulletproof
Thanks for all the advice guys. I'll be sure to question the owner and do a VIN check.
I'm hoping another guy I'm talking to that has a red 2000 GL1500 for sale comes down bit. If not, I may move on this Lehman.
One more question.... where is the reverse lever located?
Trvlngnrs
The Reverse Lever (if Bike is so equipped) is on the forward lower left side directly above the Driver foot rest and Gear Selector. Usually has a chrome-clad shroud over it to help it blend in with the other trimming.
Pretty sure that is an SE model. It has the gold inserts on the valve covers and the 2 antennas etc. so it should have reverse on it. Don't buy a trike without reverse you'll be sorry that's for sure.
All GL1500's have reverse, both Aspencade and SE models. To my knowledge, these were the only 1500 models made, and the "only" difference between them was the SE models had some convenience and cosmetic features such as CB, trunk wing, two tone paint and perhaps some other minor items.

The Goldwing Interstate model did not have reverse, that I am sure about. Also (I could be wrong) the Aspencade did not come with a CB or the foot warmers.
You are correct, one of the differences on the SE model is the CB and other convenience and cosmetic features. Upon further research, I find that an Interstate model was available from '91 thru '96 (news to me - Duh) and there was indeed, no reverse gear, no cruise control and no on board air compressor. As the current owner of both a 1200 and 1500, I thought I was somewhat knowledgeable - but I guess not. Oh well! Thank you, I learned something new.

Golly, that looks familiar! It is a Lehman GTL. Our '96 GL1500 SE has a 2004 GTL conversion kit.
I thought my GL1500 was an Aspencade but I have a CB (TWO ANTENNAS!). Does that mean it is an SE?
