Below is from Honda website for current model year but applies to the 2018 & 2019 as well:

All 2020 Gold Wing models feature a complete LED lighting package. The headlights, the taillights, and every bit of instrumentation is LED. LEDs not only last longer, but they’re also lighter and run cooler.

Product review forum has threads/posts for replacement bulbs for earlier years.

I have been watching a show called Brain Games on NETFLIX. It has some information regarding how we draw conclusions and make decisions.

I have seen a small number of folks report that another driver said "I thought you were signaling okay." IMHO these other drivers did not see you (as described above) and only recognized their mistake after the fact, using the modulator as an excuse. If one actually looks at a correctly installed mo...

Another new member. Welcome to the forum.

There are methods to measure non-events. It is truly a research project and requires some work. Whether funded by a grant or a scholar thesis, important work that needs to be done.

Funny question, don't you think it would be factory installed if there was any verified data on the effect ? I live in Netherlands, Europe and as far as I know we are one of the few countries where you get a 10 % discount on the insurance premium after attending an advance rider safety training. Ou...

I am planning the same winter project. I thought one ounce would be enough but actually I bought two three ounce bags. My plan is to use half a bag (1-1/2 oz. less spillage) in each tire but wanted the two filtered valve cores. I'll save the other bag of beads for a future job. I also plan to instal...

Not extremely funny but all I remember at the moment. Walked out of a Subway restaurant after lunch. Stereotypical mom with minivan and three kids was loading up right next to me. I donned the gear, straddled over and hit start. She actually tensed and flinched as I was firing up. Then she exclaimed...

My 1500 never beeped except the poor OEM horn. Makes me think there is a bad ground or short, perhaps in the left handlebar switch box as it has both turn signals and horn buttons. If it's not the horn you hear, is it possible that someone has installed a reminder signal to turn off the directional ...

Pistol Pete's GL1000 Carb rebuild service and others

does he do 1500 carbs?

I do have one local to me that I trust but sorry to say I do not have a mechanic local to you. I would suggest that whomever you select use parts from Randakk's: https://www.randakks.com/ Bill Ferguson Specializes in Valkyries but may do work on the Goldwing. Good thing is he comes to you. Here's a ...

I think either a 2006 or a 2007 is an excellent choice. Two years ago, I, like you, started to get an urge to move from the GL1500 to a GL1800. I was checking all the local used bikes, mostly 2006-2010. When the time came, I fell into a deal on a 2015 with 2000 miles and still under warranty. Althou...

Not withstanding the poor telephone customer service, at the time of the original post the Helm manuals were backordered with no delivery date available.

If you look at a Clymer or Haynes manual side by side with a Honda manual you will see similar issues to what my2009wing has described.

The 2012-2017 seat will go on a 2001-2010 only by the "beat to fit" method. A 2001-2010 seat will go on a 2012-2017 but leave a gap between it and the side covers requiring "paint to suit." Better off to get a proper fitting seat for BOTH the bike AND the butt.

Gloves: I seem to wear these out most frequently. Olympia summer weight did not make one season, Fulmer summer weight gave me four seasons and I just bought some KLIM. Heavier gauntlet set from Roadgear have lasted well along with heated Gerbings. A couple Firstgear jackets are still in service. I t...

Very infrequent. There really has not been a study on the effects (positive and neg...

Is it wired for factory heat?

I understand the potential risks of running a car tire but would like to still. I know the size and brand/model I want but I can’t find anyone willing to do the install. I trust the tire but not myself to install/balance it. Does anyone know of a chain willing to install these tires or do you have ...

Different but interchangeable. The 2001-2005 has amber lens for directional lights; 2006-2010 uses clear lens with amber colored bulbs. Similar situation for trunk mounted red lights. The 2012-2017 trunk lights are also interchangeable but go back to the earlier red lens with clear bulbs.

Loved my Valkyries. Great bike. There are many exhaust choices and a market for the used Cobras. ENJOY!

C-dub, I'm not convinced that there are any differences in our two manuals. Granted, the Honda Owner's Manual and the Honda Service Manual differ in some degree but they are written for different audiences, service techs versus owner operators. For clarification purposes, a picture is usually worth...

So I have the bound version of the 2012-2017 Service Manual and Electrical Troubleshooting Guide. No copyright date. I also have the loose leaf 2012-2013 Service Manual copyright 2013. I compared pages 3-12, 3-13 and 3-14. They are absolutely identical. There is no difference between my two manuals....

I had read several posts about the difficulty of installation. I got lucky for a change. I have had mine on and off several times with what I would consider routine effort. Some others I have seen have used hose clamps or small bar clamps to squeeze the two halves together. I had thought about getti...

The common ordinary plastic rocker goes right on.

As I said, I had Markland highway boards on my 1500 with the original full loop bars. I could feel the rear loop on my leg when using the boards. But I would sometimes alternatively rest my feet on those loops. Different positions was a nice option.
