hi, wingadmin, and i appreciate you joining in on this. i understand that there is a possibility of changing vacuum readings, but my thinking is that it will affect all 4 equally. perhaps this precaution was introduced at some point just in case someone were synching using only a single vacuum gaug...

When the bike's fan comes on, it adds electrical load, which will slow down the engine, which will affect the vacuum readings that you're trying to match. OR wait for it to warm long enough for the fans to kick in. All you're really looking for is a CONSISTENT, steady RPM that can be used when goin...

Placed a piece of wood in the chock and “ presto” no problems. Bike rolled in nicely and backed out with ease. Perplexing but hey.... it works! Is that a 16" front tire? The r1200c had a model that had a 16" on the front. That would explain why you are having the problem as you didn't adj...

So only 06-08 will work? Thank You for you quick response Yes different part numbers before and after 06-08. #13 https://www.southsoundhonda.com/--xpartsstream#/Honda_Powersports/GL18007A_(06)_GOLD_WING%2c_USA%2c_VIN%23_1HFSC47L-6A500001_TO_1HFSC47L-6A599999/CONTROL_UNIT_(GL1800%2706-)/7ebff8f8-932...

2000, no.

2006-2008. FYI buying used will be a crap shoot......

Many will give you various things to do but the only cure for tire cupping and the steering wobble is to replace the steering bearing set, and properly torque them. Steering bearings are a maintenance item that most riders fail to replace thinking "naw they don't wear out.... " Get tapered...

I've had a couple of the detran Jr and one of their large original. Gave away the last Jr to a friend who needed it. The past 4 years I've had a Schumacher 3 Amp charger maintainer that has done a better job at maintaining the batteries. (Actually I have 4 of them now for the multiple bikes). I left...

I see some are doing 20k plus per year rides. Going to have to work up to those. That's when cruise control would be nice. I'm usually one of those. The wings are built to endure hard riding, in fact, they love it. My 83 GL1100A got 26,500 miles in a year and a half. My 99SE got 55,000 in 3 years. ...

You still feel the snakes. Is there really a better. Nope.

I wish them the best. The store is a nice half hour ride thru the national park from my place, and has always been a warm place to stop, shop and chat. I'm also glad that it's not closing down. It's a great place to find odds and ends, bits and bobs. Looking forward to seeing what the new owners br...

Well good for Gary and Betty along with the new owners. They have over the years been a very respected business built up by the integrity of Gary and Betty. May they get to enjoy the fruits of their love of their business and the new owners continue to shine forth. I stopped by @ 6 years ago on one ...

Not very. Mounted like that, it's low enough to not be a problem, and the angle is so wide the sun is just a tiny spot anyhow, like a glint off of chrome trim. The glint off of chrome trim that my 99SE had is why I've not added chrome trim on my 08. How is reflection of headlights of vehicles behin...

It's been 12 years since I had my 83 apart to rebuild it it.

Redoing my 81 with vetter setup. Have an 82 been stealing parts off. Couple front brake calipers and a few elec parts. The 82 has good tires. Can I just swap wheels and tires or need to change tires? Front wheel on 82 is the one piece wheel. Are you sure you are talking 81 and 82?? The 82 has 2 pot...

Randakks has the instructions. Scroll down to the 1100. Sounds like the cbx petcock is the same as the 1100

Hello. I just got a 1983 Honda Goldwing 1100. Been sitting for many years so i am going putting carb kits in it and cleaning things up good. but i noticed that there is no fuel tube. of course one can't find them now so is it ok to run the bike without it or will another part work? Part number is 1...

But don't plan on storing it, I had 2 cans sitting on the shelf over a year (less than 2 years & at different times), both self emptied.

Are you in the frozen north and storing the cans out in the cold temps?
I've not had the cans self empty......

Made in Japan vs Made in China on the label

Early(pre 1996) made in Japan
1996-2000 made in China....junk....

A bad Bank Angle Sensor can be the problem as well as bad Pulse Generators.
