ROFL. I'm in an apartment complex right now. I have a shared garage where I park my bike, but I can't even get the management company to give me a safe garage to park it at. We have two types of garages at my complex, a 2-car shared garage and a single-car garage. The 2-car shared garages have soft,...

I wish I had the garage (and time) to tear apart the bike enough to install my HEL braided-steel brake line for the front-left caliper. Even the shop that rebuilt my rear brake line & caliper earlier this year (twice) refused to do it. I already did the front-right caliper, that one was fairly e...

I did already put in an order on Amazon for the GR-600 grommet set since CycleMax was out of stock. I'm also going to start working on a system to attach/hold them to the bike with a strap like the other post just in case anyway. Finding parts for these older wings is getting very difficult compared...

Interesting, it's a shame we lost Rudy. But I can come up with something on my own using a combination of the ideas from that thread. Thank you. It's still weird though. I understand that the rubber grommets get old eventually, wear out, etc and the things get loose. But mine aren't that way yet. Th...

I have an unusual problem. 99 GL1500 Aspencade, about 85,000 miles. Runs great. The left-side cover that goes over the fuses/box keeps coming off when traveling at highway speeds. This makes no sense to me. It is not damaged in any way and it seats into the pegs normally & with the same tight fi...

I do have an FM antenna on the other side. But the antenna on the right side has a flag mount on it, so it's not the same as the other side. I'll head to the hardware store referred earlier & see what they can do for me. Failing that, I'll head to OC Motorsports & beg them for a solution. Th...

I took another look at the antenna on my '99. Looking specifically at the left-hand antenna (facing forward). The lower part of the antenna (sorry, don't know the technical jargon) has the pin. Further up the antenna, there is a gizmo that has set screws. However, from the OP's pictures, I think it...

Thanks for the referral.

Any idea specifically what size I need or should I just take the antenna into the store & ask them to fit it?

Unfortunately, I don't have any screws of that size. And when I looked through Home Depot, I couldn't find anything of that type there either (neither could the nice store worker who helped me) Maybe I can get a specific part name for it that will help. I'll be happy to spend like $10 to get a repla...

It's where the antenna plugs into the socket itself. Pictures attached.

Do you know what this type of screw would be called? Just walking in and saying I need a screw for my Goldwing antenna isn't likely to get me far. Lol.

I have a 99 Gl1500 Aspencade. The left-side antenna (which I believe is for FM) suddenly almost fell off when I came home the other day. I noticed that there's a small, long thin screw that's supposed to go in there with an alan wrench head to it. Obviously, the original screw itself is long gone. W...

I've always used full-faced helmets my entire life. But I've always been curious to know what it would feel like to try out the beanie cap style helmets that Harley Davidson riders wear. I love having wind on my face, which I don't really get because of the 24" windshield on my 99 Goldwing Inte...

I have a 99 Gl1500 Aspencade. It's been running fine and recently had the brakes worked on. (pads changed, bled, etc) On two ocassions now, when riding at high speed (greater than 45mph but less than 65mph) I hit a large bump in the road and then suddenly after that, my pedal brakes go full to the f...

What kind of test light?

Recently on my 99 Apsencade, I'll go to start the bike cold. I push the button and nothing happens. After I release the button, I'll hear a click but the starter does nothing. I'll turn off the bike, try again. Keep trying a few times and after a minute or so, eventually the bike will start normally...

I had a scare on Monday, when I was leaving work and went to start the bike and it cranked but didn't start, because I didn't put the choke on. So I put the choke on a bit then hit the start button again and all I heard was a click. After a few minutes of trying and a lot of praying, it finally star...

Beautiful....

I just ordered a custom seat from them. The only downside is the 2-3 week waiting time.

Thanks for the pics!

God bless,

99 Aspencade, I'm looking to get new front speakers. I put Polk's in the rear and they sound ok. I've read that Polk makes one that can fit up front, but it requires modifying the dash. What's the best sounding speakers (with the best volume the crappy amp can put out) that I can put into the front ...

The seat on my 99 Aspencade is wearing down. It got a tear in it that I tried fixing that's not going well and now it's ripping away from the front corner and there's nothing there for me to repair. I've looked into seat covers, but that's not my best option. I've looked into just replacing with ano...

IMHO, 99% of engines have no need for Seafoam in the crankcase. As far as gasoline goes, it is very helpful in a poorly running engine and many anecdotes of carburetors that might have otherwise needed an overhaul, coming back to good performance. I'm not putting mine in the crankcase, only the gas...

What are the thoughts on putting a can of Seafoam in right at ths end of an oils life and run if for a "while?" then change to fresh oil and filter? Would this be a good idea at end of season, last ride of season? This doesn't effect me because I live in Southern California, but a lot of ...

1999 Aspencade, 80k miles. I picked up a can of SeaFoam, because of all the great reviews and I'm currently doing as much maintenance on the bike as I can during the next month or so. I just watched a great video on SeaFoam and I've read a bunch of articles and a number of places (including the vide...

Did you like the stock seat, or do you want something different? The stock seat is ok. But I'd prefer something a bit more comfortable with a more form fitting backrest. That Hartcoseat that was black wool/leather looked great. It had a bit wider seat with much more cushioning and larger/expanded b...

I'm looking for a replacement seat or at least really good cover for my 99 Aspencade. It currently has the stock seat with backrest and I have armrests for the passenger. I saw one that was perfect, a black wool/leather combination by Hartcortseat but they're not in business anymore. I've seen the C...
