Honda GL500 Parts (1981–1982) – OEM & Aftermarket Motorcycle Parts
Looking for high-quality Honda GL500 parts? Whether you ride a 1981 or 1982 GL500 Silver Wing, this collection includes everything you need to restore, maintain, or customize Honda’s innovative mid-size touring motorcycle.
The Honda GL500 was introduced in the early 1980s as a lighter, more agile alternative to the larger Gold Wing models. Built around a liquid-cooled transverse V-twin engine, the GL500 shared much of its engineering DNA with the CX series, including a shaft-drive final drive, electric start, and a reputation for durability and smooth torque delivery. Designed for comfort, reliability, and long-distance usability, the GL500 combined touring practicality with classic Honda engineering.
With features like Com-Star wheels, a balanced chassis, and low-maintenance drivetrain, the GL500 earned respect as a dependable and comfortable machine. Today, it remains a favorite among vintage Honda riders who appreciate shaft-drive simplicity and unique early-1980s styling, as well as custom builders creating stripped-down or retro-touring conversions.

Building a Custom GL500?
Some parts on a custom build are not model-specific. If you’re changing handlebars, mirrors, lighting, controls, shocks, exhaust pieces, fuel line, or hardware, visit our universal and custom motorcycle parts collection.
These parts are useful for cafe racers, brat builds, trackers, choppers, and garage-built vintage motorcycles, but they are not guaranteed to fit every bike without checking. Always compare measurements, mounting style, clearance, and product notes before ordering.
