or simply do the valves hit the piston if the timing belts break

Yes, ALL Goldwing engines are interference engines.

Update on the timing belts, I changed them, I think I dodged a bullet, one belt was about to break and they had Honda part numbers, maybe OEM scary

I had the same issue on my 96 GL1500SE. 106K and I pulled the covers off, OEM Honda belts and the left one had almost an inch of flop.
