Re: GPS on a budget? Yes.

I will never buy a gps with lifetime lies ever again. I had a tom tom, and less than a year... it needed an update. I updated it and then when I went to upload a new map a year later... it said my device was not compatible with the new map... I was supposed to buy a new device to use the new map... ...

Re: The Flippy uppy trunk method.

Still not clear. At one point I wanted to grind my bolt down too. But the core of my question... do you have to remove the bolt that is accessed from inside the saddle bag... Do you have to remove it from the threaded portion or can you leave it threaded, but loose and the "trunk" will fli...

Re: No gauges and won't start

As far as your head light... Stick your thumb under your starter button and pull back... These switches get gummed up and you might just get your light back if ya do that.

Re: Tire for GL1500 in 2023

The older I get, the less I take "short cuts". They just take too long, and are too aggravating. Very true!!! but taking apart 23yo plastics is fraught with peril. I was at the point where I thought about taking it apart, to get it "back together". As I was trying to unscew the ...

Re: Tire for GL1500 in 2023

Yeh, I finally got it... with my buddy "jiggling" the trunk and frame and stuff. I got replied to by Delboys Garage on YT and he said when he does that "flip up" method you do not take the bolts all the way out. Only out of the threaded portion and then lift. The whole process is...

The ideal fix is to tear it down, clean everything and re-grease it with new dielectric grease.

Re: Turn Signals Switches Clean-Up

I know this is an old thread. I am a new goldwing owner and a tad ignorant. Why not just use Deoxite on the switches and not disassemble?

I second the gas cap vent... next time it dies... Open the gas cap, bet she starts right up. I too suffered with an unvented cap and diagnosing took wizards and warlocks. Now it is one of the first things I have checked. Happened on my Harley and my honda so brands don't matter. Good luck. Try simpl...

Re: Used Prices on GL 1500s in the toilet

I am of the philosophy now (believe have lost a lot of money coming to this) If you are gonna take a loss, take it early. I had a 64 c200 (old honda pushrod) and went round and round with people. A NICE person showed up and we talked for 2 hours. He took it home for way less than I wanted him to, bu...
