Whoa Boy .... Eurika! I successfully transmitted CB audio to another CB using the Cardo Packtalk Bold JBL! I am now hearing music and CB audio through the speakers OR helmet as designed by Honda AND transmitting audio via on board the Goldwing CB as designed by Honda...without the cable to helmet! ...

Welcome to the forum. Regarding your question, what ct1500 said. Shortly after buying my GL1500 I also found one of those bouncing around in the trunk. Seems the little plastic clips just under the knob tend to break off allowing the assy to pop back out of its assigned location. May be a common pro...

Probably not what you are looking for but:

BTW. Sounds like a fantastic trip coming. Have a great time. Be safe.

I have a different brand but they are somewhat similar. You will invariably end up with 95% of files of boring road and 5% worth keeping. In video mode, it records in blocks of time. So when you go back to review the files, if you know the time frame you want to keep, you'll be able to narrow it dow...

As yes the second image is correctly oriented. The DVR is mounted upside down on the starboard side of the trunk shell with hook & loop. I can pull it off, pivot forward and flat into the correct usable orientation within the slack of the cables.

I wanted to go higher but ended up on the shelf above the tail light/rear fender. There's already a hole there. You can chase the wire forward under the trunk like you would for a trailer harness. There's a sliver of room. dashcam aft camera.jpg Also, I mounted the DVR in the trunk so I drilled hole...

BTW. Except for the GL1800, every installation I have done has had one side or the other that needed to be shimmed with electrical tape. Instructions cover this method. You may also need to re-glue at some point. Just don't be surprised.

I have not overly long fingers but large hands. Always hard to find the right size gloves and when I do they usually have fingers too long. I am not a big Kury fan but I have had the ISO grips on several bikes. IMHO they look better than foam or plain rubber but I really like the paddle feature/thro...

I was previously unfamiliar with this brand but do I understand that the rear turnsignals are shining amber as running and brake lights? As John said above, the LED bulbs can cause issues. In fact you would need to replace the stock flasher just for normal turnsignal operation. You can install a res...

So I will add one "Thumbs up" to the RIVCO horns. Some history. All below installs used relays with trigger wire connected to the OEM horn circuit and the OEM horns left in place except as noted. On my GL1200 I added a self contained Wolo Big Boy in the fairing. Much better than OEM. On my GL1500 I ...

On the GL1500 there used to be a backup light available. Below are the install instructions. Perhaps this will help with a beeper. Again, this is only for the GL1500.

Do they make radials in that size? Not sure that I would worry either way. Ply rating is usually associated with load rating. I'm thinking you won't need heavy. Also 6-ply will run a nit "harsher" but 6-ply may wear a little better or last longer. Again, IMHO, not a noticeable difference. You can of...

Welcome to the forum neighbor. I understand wanting to have a hard copy. If you have an immediate need for service, we have a stupendous resource here under the how-to section and dozens of experienced and helpful members to answer questions. Beyond that, I have paper manuals. While I am not ready t...

Welcome to the forum. Is that Blue Haven, New South Wales? Is your 2015 a U.S. Spec bike or European model? Steve is accurate on the trailer wiring and handlebars. Your trailer wiring harness should include directions on where to plug in. Usually under the seat. BTW Steve sells these harnesses if yo...

Instead of jostling the levers, give them a gentle push forward. They have switches as opposed to sensors. Push the either lever forward then slowly pull it back. You should hear two clicks. One is for CC cancel and the other is for the brake light or starter circuit enable (clutch side). Look under...

So should I conclude you and Tamathumper are brothers? He made that move and also spent some time in Vacationland I've been down to Machias many times and expect to be soon in my implementation of social distancing. At the other end, my late brother-in-law used to live in Sanford and I worked some i...

Two great towns there.

Andy, have you ever *been* to Machias or Sanford?!...

Pourquoi mon ami?

Should have said before - Welcome to the forum. Sorry I didn't notice it was your first post.

Two great towns there. Basically half of the Maine Four Corners Tour without even trying. You're gonna love that bike.

Changing high beam bulbs on a GL1800 requires some disassembly, patience and tricks. I have used dowels, small flexible tubing and three different long reach needle nose pliers. I will offer that LED or HID is actually easier IMHO as they have a wire harness "tail" to help wag the dog rather than ju...

The GL1800 rear wheel looks like an automobile wheel. Any decent tire, car or bike shop should be able to do a dynamic balance. However, I have used Dynabeads with good success and expect Counteract to be just as good. Now have Centramatic balancers that seem pretty nice as well.

Yes, yes and yes.

There is a mod to reverse the fans if you want. Generally they never come on going down the road, only parked or very low speed. At low speed, do you want the heat blowing forward or back on your legs?

Zeoran, Have you used the search tool on the classified link at the top of this page? I found these which are in the price range you have been talking about: https://tucson.craigslist.org/mcy/d/tucson-2003-honda-goldwing-gl1800-abs/7076992609.html https://inlandempire.craigslist.org/mcy/d/hesperia-2...

I saw both of those pix, but I did not examine the loose hitch to see if it was a vertical or horizontal. shot from the hip on my response :( I usually blame my bi-focals even though I don't wear them anymore. :D No harm, no foul. BTW, there is a beautiful 97 SE in the one year only midnight blue f...

John, One of the pics show the cooler in place behind the fender so it was on at one time. But one picture shows the entire hitch on the garage floor. It also shows as a straight in receiver type not the vertical style receiver style and other pics show the rear fender with no receiver below it. I d...
