Because of many issues that others report with Progressive stuff, here at my shop, we only install Traxxion products. In my case, I have many customers who do continental tours, long summer rides, or use their Wing for weekend get-aways. In my opinion Progressive are good for ones who just go on lun...

Is it possible to remove fork springs and replace with Progressive springs without removing forks from bike.?

Yes ... but instead of Progressive, a one-size fit all spring, you might want Traxxion springs instead. They'll sell you ones more custom to your riding style and wight.

In my mind, not more then 140lbs ... anything heavier then that, and ... well :( However, it varies by trike manufacture. The best way to find out is to go to your trike's Owner's Manual. If you don't have one, many manufactures provide that info online by going to their web page. that is totally r...

There are a couple of places to send your radio off for repair. One is to Panasonic's Authorized repair center in LA, CA. I believe another is to Sierra Electronics.

Over the years, CD players have had problems. I'd start with disconnecting it to see if the radio works with the CD player disconnected. Never jumpstart, or hook a battery charger up with the key and the radio on ... damage can occur and many DIYs have paid the price for that mistake. If you have a ...

None goes in the rubber diaphragm. The diaphragm is the gasket or seal to keep it from leaking out. I too would suggest that you take it to a m/c shop for assistance.

BTW - forgot to ask regarding recommended hydraulic fluid if that's what I need. The type of fluid needed is wrote on the m/c cover. It will say brake fluid type 4. As for your other issue. My thoughts: - be sure to be changing the clutch fluid per Honda recommendations ... every 12k or sooner - be...

Greg, they are touting that it will interface with 2008 Honda Goldwing 1800 GL1800 2007 Honda Goldwing 1800 GL1800 2006 Honda Goldwing 1800 GL1800 2005 Honda Goldwing 1800 GL1800 Interesting ... it will probably work on 2004-10s. It says it gives actual reading too. For me the problem is that it wo...

Did they say why the rear brake m/c was not replaced per SB-23 ???

Also, you should have paperwork showing what they did even if it is covered under a recall.

OBD is a different tool for a different system.

My question is, can the front brake system be flushed without flushing the rear system? If so, would a Honda dealer, really flush just the front system and not touch or mention that the rear system should be flushed? Is the brake system on the MT kit designed such that a Honda dealer won't flush it...

There are many to choose from. The first thing to know is what you are using your hitch for. If towing, you will want a 6 point. I believe there are 3 manufactures who make them. I've always used a BushTec. It allows me to remove the rear wheel through the back fender area, and theirs attaches to th...

Check your reverse cable adjustment. Per Honda's Maintenance Schedule, the reverse operation and a possible needed cable adjustment needs inspected every 8,000 miles.

Is there an easy way to check an ignition coil when it's not wired into my 2006 GL1800?

Yes ... but it takes a coil tester like the old Sun scopes of the 70s had.

Radio works well now.

Glad all is well. FYI for next time ... not sure what battery you used to jump start, but the Owner's Manual does warns against jump starting from a car battery.

With the windscreen off, are you not able to move the adjuster body all the way up ???

The adjuster body is part #30. The windscreen attaches to it.

IT'S ALIVE!!!!!! I got the bike back today. Shifts like butter. It was done totally under warranty and I am so very pleased with the service. The work was done at Everett Powersports in Everett, WA. I left that info out of the previous posts just because I didn't want to advertise one way or the ot...

On a 2016,can u fold in the mirrors,so as to make bike narrower for storage

Yes ... I often fold mirror(s) in when the space is tight. The mirrors move on 1 axis and fold forward and rearward.

My question is: would I be better off with a used GW starter motor, or a new aftermarket motor, ie Mitsuba. Go with a good used one. You can easily replace the brushes and springs if needed and they are a permanent magnet type so there’s only an armature that could electrically fail. Are you sure y...

All GL1800 bulletins and recalls can be found here.

SB-1, and SB-13 have to do with overheating.

That info is in my avatar below pic. Thanks for responding. 03 1800 Honda Goldwing.

Some people read this on their phones and do not see the avatars.

While others will not assume what's in the avatar is the one he's working on.

Mileage ???
Any valve tapping type noise, or was there any ???
Was it stored with a fuel additive in the tank ???
What oil is in it, brand and weight ???
What spark plugs are in it ???
What is your climate like ... hot and humid ???

Make, model, and years is always helpful.

Greg, I have the "dog clatter" just like your video on my 1500. Is this just a normal thing or should I have a repair? I'm sorry but I totally live in the repair world of GL1800s, so I really cannot answer that with any expertise, knowledge, or personal experience of what causes it on a GL1500. How...
