Was the bike doing the same before you installed new units?

Welcome and good luck. Go to this site and download a free manual. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1443589/Honda-1986-Goldwing-Gl1200a.html You really haven't given enough info for us to be of much assistance. First step is to determine if really have a bad head gasket and go from there. Don't sta...

10th digit in the vin is the year indicator: E=84, F=85, G=86 and H=87.

Under the seat on left side there is a large connector c10. The connector is encased in a plastic housing. In that 25 pin connector is a Green with red stripe wire. That G/r wire feeds all the brake lights.

Look in the manuals section for color wiring diagram for 83 1100. The red white wire connects directly to the rectifier regulator.

Mostly working outside in the yard and garden. We are not indoor people so we are outside most of the day. I am self employed so I can work on my own schedule. Yesterday we packed a picnic and went fishing. Nice to get away for a while. As for going out in public we still have to go shopping for foo...

It’s very surprising to see that a lot of people are just discovering the magical effect of soap and water in 2020… Also, the other day they said on the news that the bidet nozzle sales just skyrocketed :D We have one of them in our real estate in Czech Republic and now I’m thinking about buying on...

keep that away from the Tupperware, it will melt

ABS melts at 221F. If that machine actually makes steam that is 212F. Close enough to cause possible softening and damage. I would not use it on my bike.

Life is hard I know. Lol

Go to this link and do a search. There is a 94 manual there for free download.

New timing belts are ordered. Went with Gates t070 belts from Rock Auto. Hope they are the correct ones. Lol.

Yes, those are the correct belts.

The next thing you need to do is replace the timing belts if you don't have service records from the last owner with a date of replacement. Your bike has an interference style engine. If a belt breaks there will be a minimum of 2 bent valves. Don't rely on inspecting the belts, old hardened belts lo...

If you would post a picture from either side showing the paint scheme on the gas tank we could tell you if it is a standard or an interstate with a different fairing. The valve covers are from an 1100 not a 1000. Side picture would also show carbs which are different between the two models.

Here is good info on gl1100 carbs. They also have carb kits. If you purchase carb rebuild kits from other sources don't bother replacing the hard parts. All that is necessary are the rubber parts. Some aftermarket kits are made incorrectly and sized wrong. Example are jets and o-rings. https://www.r...

after further thought , i believe that is a dust seal only, and that your problem may be a ruptured or otherwise deteriorated accelerator pump diaphragm. the diaphragm, spring, dust boot and seal are available as a kit. at any rate, the carbs will have to be removed/disassembled/inspected/assessed/...

Good place to hide a spare key maybe?

As long as you hide a phillips screw driver someplace.

That is why I always have my Swiss army knife handy when riding. Lol.

These are the only replacement boots I have knowlege of. Not pretty but should work.

Yeah! Very confusing.

Good place to hide a spare key maybe?

Reinstall a few of the case bolts almost all the way. Leave about 2 or 3 mm space between bolt head and the case. Tap on the bolt heads to break loose.

From that list I have the Street Shield EX. I like it. I bought it about 14 years ago.

If you have Progressives then, by all means, follow the recomendations from them.

You won't get an answer from him. Hasn't been around for a couple of years. He has been banned from some other sites.
