Back to the 'speed' of draining... did you remember to remove the filler cap first?

Well, I tried, but not sure if I was successful. I tapped on the phone screen where it said Click to Subscribe. Not sure if it 'took'. I may have got bit by my primitive browser on my phone.

If there is a more appropriate place to post this, please let me know. WingAdmin: please feel free to relocate as necessary. I have a friend that has just been awarded a dealership license for Champion/Lehman, MotorTrike and Frankenstein trikes. He sells and services them and also accessories. His n...

It's ok, I guess.

It's rare to see or hear of a Gold Wing motor being rebuilt. As stated above, with your maintenance regime, you should expect 250-300k without major trouble. My '94A with 193,000+ miles purrs like a kitten. Original clutch and all. Normal maint only.

Nice! But who has to clean up afterwards?

Following this thread. I have 2 '76s.

evening fun on the Mighty CT 70

As an aside; I like your (?) neighborhood in the background. I sure miss Michigan.

Planning a trip up the Dalton Highway?

I believe that the location of the pulse generators on an '84 are in the rear of the engine whereas they were 'moved' to the front starting in '85. This may or may not be a problem for what you're doing. Others will no doubt chime in here. Good luck.

Sorry if this might be considered a hijack, but I have been under the impression (rumor?) that the 1500 was designed for 55/60 bulbs, and were equipped with them on European models, but that US units were for some reason delivered with 45/45s. Is this not true? I have used 55/60s in my 94A (bought n...

That looks like it. Ok, thanks!

I'm posting this here in case anyone else has been wondering about this and would like to see WingAdmin's response.. To WA: I have always been curious as to what the various icons in the thread lists mean. It seems that the red ones allow one to skip to the first unread post, where the blue ones don...

Get better! Follow doctor's orders.

She sure looks like a happy camper.

Just a note to let everyone know that they are SOLD.

Have a great weekend.

These puppies are in excellent condition and are painted and pinstriped to closely match my 1976 Honda Gl1000 LTD. The gray compound on the sides is silicone glue, which is how the previous owner mounted the side badges. All hardware and plumbing is included. The plastic hoses should probably be rep...

I hope that fixes it.

PS. What shocks do you have in those pictures?

Ron

Nice outcome. They definitely fit tight to the bike. I am in the process of mounting a set of the newer style bags on my 1976. It will be a bit of a challenge because they were removed from a Suzuki GS1100 (thank you, Ebay, though). 😎 Nice touch with the tank badges. 🤠👍 Congrats, and thanks for shar...

Welcome, bkv. Did you check for loose or split fuel lines? Also, you may have a sticking carb float. If you can identify the one that's leaking, try tapping on the float bowl with a small hammer on a wooden dowel.

Good luck.

Thanks, OC. I do get close to 20,000 miles on a set on my 1500, too.

My baby needs new shoes, and I would appreciate the membership's thoughts on which tires get the best mileage. I remember back in the day that at least on my BMW airheads I only got 6 or 7,000 miles on a set. My 76 LTD is so smooth and comfortable that I'm hoping to put some decent miles on it, but ...

Well, then, welcome to your new home, too!

Welcome to the club! A dubious honor I know...
