Me too. Never heard of the "Blue Ride" mountains.

Freudian slip.

No sense spending $500 or so and getting the wrong ones. WingStuff.com has them for $21.95 a pair under part number AO293646DC for your bike Saber Cycle has them for $16.00 a pair under part number 93-637 for your bike The pictures in both catalogs look like both places are selling the identical se...

They do not interchange but the 88-89 is the same as a GL1200 if that helps.

Thought about this one?

I highly recommend that you consider strongly the Mick-O-Pegs. one of the two best items I bought for my 1800, right next to the Madstad windscreen. www.RidingIsWonderful.com Another vote for MOP. Contact them with your information for a Custom Comfort Analysis, http://www.ridingiswonderful.com/pag...

Probably not relevant to OP question but the construction of the tire is a determining factor in establishing the load range. Type of construction as well as number and material of plys. Regarding OP, You asked for thoughts and opinions. My question is why? Unless I was stuck in the middle of a trip...

Bill,

Thanks for posting. I just realized I posted mine is a 396 when it is in fact a 395. Mine has a rubber plug on the bottom that covers a small RCA type plug.

I'll post here instead of PM. I have seen this ad off and on for quite a while (year +) so you may want to call the seller. https://www.unclehenrys.com/classified/4725030/classified?back=%2Fsearch%2Fall%3Fsr%3D67659188%234725030 I have not actually seen them. He's at the other end of the state (not ...

I agree with above that mileage really falls off when you get above 70, especially with the big windshield. Also, once you know what kind of mileage you get, don't rely on the gas gauge to tell you when to fill up. Most of them read empty way too early. If your low fuel light works correctly, that u...

Not sure your familiarity with this beautiful machine so if my questions seem obvious or simplistic, I apologize in advance. The windshield does slide up and down a couple inches. Release the levers beside the mirrors. Are you sure the headlight bulbs are on? There are two smaller bulbs beside the h...

The original Honda accessory lights used an unusual incandescent bulb like this: https://cyclemax.com/inc/sdetail/cornering_light_replacement_bulb/83/3979 The later Honda accessory were always on driving lights and changed to Halogen bulbs: https://cyclemax.com/inc/sdetail/driving_light_bulb/83/4860...

Just reading on another site and owners there can see folders and songs using only a thumb drive so it sounds like I was off the mark on paragraph two above. Sorry

Are you all set with what you need?

This has come up before but I couldn't find it on a search. Someone smarter than I can provide a definitive answer. Believe it is related to playing music from a memory device vs. using an actual music player. A MP3 player would have playlists and display info on the screen whereas the memory device...

I saved this link a while back but have never tried the method:

The part number you provided is for a snap on cover that goes over the radio controls in brown. Based on your bike info in your avatar, you have a 1995 Aspencade which should have part number 83170-MN5-000, color ZA for Cosmopolitan (dark) Gray. Here's a link: http://partsfinder.onlinemicrofiche.com...

Looks like it might be a SIMPRO or LEGA-LITE light assembly. Original had brake and backup lights but were known for getting hot and deforming the plastic lens (which you appear to be missing). I have seen a couple posts where people have replaced the bulbs with LED and crafted new lens from clear o...

Agree with MikeB depending on what you need. The GL1800 trunk is small to start with and a pigtail can be more accommodating. If you want to mount to trunk lid, there are not as many choices as you may first think. The inner lid is very close to the real lid and there are bosses that hold the passen...

My experience with MottBatt in my GL1500 is exactly opposite of Scott's. I had a previous post about my dissatisfaction with their AGM. I went back to cheap batteries on the GL1500 with plan to replace them when needed. My Valkyrie I just replaced with a YUASA AGM and we'll see how that goes. Gl1800...

Extra hands certainly can help. Once it "releases" you'll be able to lift it up chest high in one swing. I had a five foot long 2x4 ready to prop under the hitch. I was then able to tie it safely to the overhead of the garage.

Better yet, get a trailer.

YES

I have worked on a couple 1500s. On my own bike I did the disassembly, removing the saddlebag, etc. as per the manual. It had the hitch as well as the lower spoiler that wraps around the bags and rear fender and extra lights in the back of the saddlebag and the saddlebag lids. Required , I don't rem...

Great news!! Will be pricy at first but like everything, volume of sales and competition will bring price down.

Go back to the linked post step 6. Sounds like you may not have pulled the correct bolts. You need to pop out the black round plugs about 1*1/2" diameter at the front of the saddlebag to see them. They hold the bottom of the rear subframe as well as one of the crash guard bolts(other guard bolt is v...
