Here is what I bought. It shipped from Macon Ga. which seems strange. I’ll know when it arrives. Dave 47D63995-29E0-469C-99B8-20550FC147A9.png Discount Starter and Alternator is actually a decent sized place, and they are based in Milledgeville, GA, which is not far at all from Macon (I used to liv...

I just changed the fork oil in mine (have schraders) with Honda 10 wt and it has a much smoother ride. Instead of pump air in the forks, I left them fully extended then installed the schraders. Haven’t had a chance to check the pressure, I left the Progressive air pump in my RV. If you add a 1/2 ou...

The first thing I would do is check the integrity of the antenna cable, from the radio tuner out to the antenna. Make sure none of the connectors have come apart, and that the cable isn't pinched or cut anywhere along the way.

Thanks for the heads up

From the service manual...

The vast majority of time what people perceive as brake vibration or "warped rotors" is in fact brake lining material fused to the brake rotor. What happens: you come to a hard stop from high speed, holding the brakes on hard. You have now raised the temperature of your rotors as high as 800 degrees...

I will have to start trouble shooting , thank you

The cruise control troubleshooting flowchart of the factory service manual is six pages long. If you are going to troubleshoot the cruise control, I would definitely not attempt it without that flowchart at hand.

WingAdmin do you have any experience with superbright LED for DRL with turn signals in the front and run and brake lights in the rear? I put a set of these Superbright driving LEDs on my wife's bike. They are pretty bright and impressive. But nowhere near as good as these Superbright LEDs which are...

I'm in the same catagory with Wingsconsin on LED headlights and current/voltage management of electrics on your bike. I have used HID and they produce excellent light and reduce your current consumption. I used the 35 watt HID's. But, they produce lots of heat and what I noticed was an increase in ...

I found that the gravity feed method works great. Take the top off the resorvior, and connect a hose to the bleeder valve and put the other end in a jar or container to catch the fluid. Open the valve and as the fluid in the resorvior gets low add more to it, watch it until it runs clear, tighten t...

Has anybody removed the cruise control unit off the 1500 for good, its a headache, too many problems I never have, and have never had any problem with the cruise control other than a small adjustment of the take-up on the actuator cable. It works perfectly, all of the time. What is the problem you'...

Three feet of plastic tubing threaded on the stem, 1/4”? fill 2.5 feet of tubing, electric sander touching the tubing and valve stem runs it in pretty fast. I tried blowing it in and it just blew back out. It worked great to balance my car tire. Without it I had a peculiar weave at about 75-85 mph....

If it would fit, I imagine it would be a good tire for both the sidecar AND the bike running the sidecar. Running without leaning (well, most of the time!) is its natural state, so I would think it would perform quite well for you.

Add to that list a failed/failing master fuse. Remove the master fuse and check it for continuity OUT of the bike. The Bank angle sensor is easy to diagnose. If the engine shuts off like this again, first check that it will not start again. Then shut the ignition all the way off, wait a second, then...

Hi all. My name is Glenn and I have been lurking for quite a while. Thank you for all the useful information. While I was researching repairs for a Instrument panel in my daughters Montecarlo I found a company that supplies replacement LCD panels for GL 1500's. Tanin Auto Electronix Located in Raci...

The threads are a standard machine thread, not tapered. The seal is provided by an O-ring on the schraeder valve: https://goldwingdocs.com/images/HowTo/GL1500_Fork_Oil/GL1500_Fork_Oil_19.jpg And incidentally, you can change your fork oil quickly and easily without removing the fork caps if you have ...

You also might want to check the timing belt tensioners. When bearings start to wear/fail on a rotating item such as those, they will typically make a noise (very distinct "bearing" noise) at lower RPM, but disappear at higher RPM.

I should update this thread. After a few months this exact same problem happened - no air pressure. I pulled the saddlebags off and the exact same thing had happened again, the shocks had rotated and the air line was sheared off. I actually fixed the problem with a workaround, that has worked now fo...

Iv'e installed thes progressive shocks and altough i find the handling immensly better, they are rock hard and now iv'e a complaining spouse on the back. Is this permanent or will they soften up a bit after some time? I ride them with very low air pressure, but still........ Did i say that i love t...

Great! Let us know how it works for you. I imagine it will work for you for many years to come.

Get yourself a new set of valve cover gaskets before you start, as at 70,000 miles, the old ones will likely crumble in your hands and won't be able to be reused.

DaveO has it right. There are two wires, Yellow/Blue and Yellow/Green going into the meter that are connected to the coil primaries. They supply pulses to the meter, which are counted/timed by the meter to generate the RPM. Check that you are seeing pulses there, and have connectivity from each wire...

I do not see a "final on the locks". I'm in the same situation as these folks were. I have a single, original key (#431) for my Hondaline luggage/saddlebags for my 1981 Honda GL1100. Where can I find blanks and what is the part number? I am relatively sure if I can find blanks, my local locksmith c...

They are fairly common, as Honda used the same part on many different motorcycles. You can buy them new, still.
