Starter button, Solenoid,I feel that these problems are inherent because of the electric reverse, you would never normally hols a starter button in for up to a minute, I dread to think of the heat inside the solenoid after reversing up a slight incline, but saying that there must have been minimum 1...

This is my latest farkle My other bike a canam spyder has an MP3 in the trunk and a built audio detector so that when your satnav(not oem) speaks it mutes the radio during the announcement, so I thought why cant my GL1500 have this aswell, so I bought on ebay an mp3 naked module and an audio detecto...

I thought about leds not putting the light where it was needed, when I get my new windshield I'll be halfway to dismantling dash again so I will have a play with other types, at the moment too busy building other Farkles for it

I only used white leds without the blue rubber bits on them

Here are some photos I took 7.jpg 8.jpg 9.jpg There is no glare on this panel it's the camera To me the panel looks faded as lcd do when they get old also they deteriorate after being baked in the sun. there's an article in these pages about a company making new panels for about $100, but for now I'...

yes I noticed that, but I actually had 2 plastic ones broken off.

The glue I used was made for all hard plastics, I glued 2 offcuts togetherfrom the stick I bought, try as I may, I could not break it.

Thanks for your reply

Alex.

P.S. I like your slogan, my sentiments exactly.

1.jpg When i got the wing last July, there were 2 studs broken off on one of the side panels, didn't think it mattered much until I nearly lost a side panel on a very windy day, on close inspection one of the broken studs was still stuck in the rubber grommet, so I glued it back to the panel with A...

I was thinking the same thing, I may just replace the lcd panel bulbs with original types but I like the way the speedo and tacho look with leds

As I said in this post, already changed all dash lights to leds including lcd panel ones, dials and warning lights very bright, but lcd panel unreadable in the dark but ok in daylight

Hi there My lcd panel is in good condition, and works perfectly but the back lights above and below it, new led bulbs much brighter than the original ones, fail to light the display properly in the dark, it's fine in daylight or when I pass under a streetlight but in the dark it's useless. when i go...

Last week I left home and procceded down a motorway to get my ferry to England, I stopped at the toll booth to pay my motorway toll, switched off the engine . On turning on the ignition I found the whole bike was DEAD, not o glimmer of life anywhere, no choice, phone my breakdown service, on arrival...

Ok guys, as requested, here is a video of it in action
I connected it to an unswitched permanent live as, imagine defeating it and while fumbling for your keys the bike rolls into the vehicle in front or over your foot

read his post, I'm just about to oerder some for my 1500 I'm ordering these from ebay, under 15gbp, if I fail with them , not much to lose.

When I get them I'll put up a new post

I took a video of it but couldn't find out how to upload it, if you can tell me I'll do it, I'll also put a link to the exact part I used, I couldn't believe how well it worked, the whole thing cost less than $10

Parking brake temporary stop brake, call it what you will. I have an insta trike fitted, ( very pleased with it), but there are no brakes on the trike wheels, so how do you stop it running away if you want to leave the engine running Crystal Pistol started me on this one, using a wedge in the brake ...

I've read a lot on these pages about gl1800 levers fitting 1500s with no adjustment or problems, does anyone know if that is the case with these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/For-Honda-Goldwing-GL1800-2001-2016-Clutch-Brake-Levers-Short-Long-CNC-Adjust/252876115101?hash=item3ae0974c9d:m:mCv_Mg_3kvJkj3j...

Thanks for your link with which I made a template in cardboard of where the bolt holes will need to be and found the one on offer would fit.

Thanks

Can anyone tell me if a top case luggage rack from a GL1800 will fit on a GL1500, reason I ask is the only way I can buy a 1500 one is from the USA and the postage is more than the rack, there's a firm in France where I live selling an 1800 one on special offer for 59 euros, free postage, shop is to...

There are quite a lot of aftermarket ones on Ebay for around $15, they are generic not just for goldwings, for any bike, programmable, I'm going to get one, if it's junk for $15, not the end of the world

Thanks for your replies The marker lights are black on the outer face that is visible, not reflective at all, just thought it wierd that they have a place for a bulb but not able to b e lit, There is a pair of orange ones on ebay, I think I'll buy them and wire them as turn signal I have led bulbs a...

1995 1500 Aspencade Whilste replacing timing belts, I noticed the fairing lights had bulb sockets in the back of them, having never had them out before I thought they were just reflectors. DSC02204.JPG DSC02205.JPG so I fitted a bulb in one and powered it but no light at the front of the marker ligh...

Thank you , at least i have an idea, i was intending to cut a round hole in the blanking plate and insert one of those lens end spot lights that are on ebay for around 15 pounds j6

Hello I want to put fog lights in my 1995 1500 aspencade that only has blank plates in this position. I was thinking of not using the proper ones due to the cost of postage and import tax, which is about the same again as the cost of the lights. Is there any info about what holds the plates onto the...

If you care to research the original Spyder drawings from brp, you will find they resemble the second drawing in you're reply.

When I removed my radio there is a model number on the back edge, mine was Panasonic RM1500E, I googled that name and number and it appeared,so I downloaded it. This is what you must do, you have a different model so you will have a different model number, Google that. Let me know if you get it, als...
