Can anyone tell me what side covers are interchangeable with the 1986 SeI 1200. TIA You're going to have a har...

Here you go:

It's a very big job. A lot of parts to replace and swap over.

In another life I had a satellite radio business. :) Those older SkyFi units had VERY powerful transmitters in them, and could often be picked up almost a block away. This caused a problem in traffic, where many people with the same units, broadcasting on the same frequency, caused massive interfere...

A 2wd dirt bike sounds intense.

Rokon makes them:

I stopped by a friend's house this past Saturday as he was replacing both tires and got stumped on getting the rear tire seated on the beat. The front tire went exactly like a YouTube that he watched without any problems. He and did everything we could think of to get the back tire to hold air enou...

Where did you get the austone tire? I have called a few places and am being told no longer available.

Check out this thread: Austone Taxi Tire

This my be a bit over thinking, but that's what I do. What gauge wire would you use for a digital voltmeter? Is it necessary to switch the power through a relay or can I just power direct from acc. terminals with a fuse? What size? Voltmeters draw a miniscule amount of current. You can use a small ...

There are three different places. One is on the pull cable, right next to the handgrip: https://goldwingdocs.com/images/HowTo/ThrottleCables/ThrottleCables01.jpg The other two are on the ends of the cables attached to the throttle body: https://goldwingdocs.com/images/HowTo/ThrottleCables/ThrottleC...

If you have access to a mechanic's stethoscope, put it right on the valve covers and see if you can localize the noise as originating from there. If you don't have one, you can make a poor man's stethoscope out of a piece of dowel pushed up against your skull near your ear as you push it onto wherev...

The diode shunts power to ground if the clutch is not pulled in (but the transmission is in neutral): Starter Circuit.GIF If your starter relay was wired in wrong, and presented a dead short instead of the relay coil, it will have put a massive amount of current through that diode, and that will let...

Thanx for the respond! Seems i only can get the springs from USA (live in sweden).. So to make it clear, the bike should be rideable with just springs and no extra air in them? Have to think about what I'm going to do, what the best option are for me. Summer here are so short 😫 /Klas Yes, the sprin...

I use Valvoline EP bearing grease with Moly for Ford/Lincoln wheel bearings. I use it for splines as well, buy it in pint can. Any auto parts place I see it. google VV632 No!! Don't use this on your splines, or recommend others do the same. That grease contains only 2.5% moly, which is pretty much ...

Batteries can also crack their conductors internally when subjected to heavy jolts, which can cause that kind of issue.

When changing cam belts what's the procedure if the pullys are not aligned when crank is at TDC? Do the pullys move independently to the crank? Ie. with crank at TDC and belt off, line up pullys then fit belt? If not how? Thanks... They will...to a point. You can rotate the cam pulleys some, but at...

I use the OEM Honda coolant, it does not require adding distilled water, as it is already a 50/50 premix:

I would like to make some tethers for my lids so I don't lose another one. I am sure some of you have been there done that. What is the best way to build them? I used these: https://cyclemax.com/inc/sdetail/gl1100_and_gl1200_lidkeeper_2x_kit/29809/92740 RPRL2.JPG They bond to the plastic very secur...

Ok WingAdmin, what did or do you use to heat up the acorn nut and not melt the ABS plastic, is a hair dryer hot enough? I don't think a torch would be a good idea, listening for answers and ideas, thanks! Bob A hair dryer would not be hot enough. ABS starts to melt at around 100°C, or 212°F. Like y...

The two usual suspects are silicate deposits from (incorrect) coolant containing silicates, or minerals from the use of non-distilled water. You said you already flushed it...so failing any other reasonable potential causes, I would just flush again and refill with good, new coolant.

In my opinion, the UK's absolute religious OBSESSION with "health and safety" above all other factors is obnoxious and a negative blight on the society. The "health and safety" cry is used as a trump card to excuse any ban, behavior or anything else the authorities deem unacceptable. You surprise m...

The problem is, as mentioned, that they were overtightened. The studs are mounted into the plastic - they're actually molded into it. The studs have a base that is ridged, with the idea that the ridges "bite" into the plastic and keep it in place and prevent it from turning. The problem is that when...

I replaced the cornering lights in my '93 with these 50 Watt (eqv) LEDs, they light up the road real nice. Mine are converted to "Always On". https://www.cyclemax.com/inc/sdetail/50_watt_led_replacement_cornering_light_bulb/83/270155 They also have these for position lights, also 50 watt LED. Haven...

take the bottom panel off the trunk, you will probably find the rods in there. If I remember correctly there are only 4 screws holding that piece on. No, they tend to vibrate out of there and vanish forever. They drop out of the knob, fall into that trunk panel, then vibrate around until they find ...

I've had a Brother P-Touch labeler that I've used for MANY years that works just like that. I'd like one like this that you can connect to your computer: https://www.amazon.com/Brother-PC-Connectable-PTD600-High-Resolution-Printing/dp/B00OCEKCB2/ref=sr_1_4 However....the 15+ year old one I have stil...
