The early 1500 had optional cornering lights (curb light?). They only come on with the directional on that side. These look like a typical incandescent 1157 bulb but with a large flange with tabs to twist and lock instead on the typical small pins on a 1157 bulb. Honda changed to Halogen bulbs I thi...

If you missed this sale on FleaBay, here's a nicer one for even more money: https://kokomo.craigslist.org/mcy/d/pul ... 08414.html

Looks good in the pics and this guy at least provides some description although I don't know where he gets "rocket" from.

I do not know if it will help but perhaps looking at a Valkyrie service manual and some of the information about removal of emissions controls (de-smog). The intakes are completely different but it may give you some ideas.

I might be concerned if you use those rope plugs that are lathered with glue. I've never had success with those anyway. I have had success with the mushroom type plugs on a couple cars and I now carry that kit on the bike.

I have used modulators in four different bikes. I also will swear that there have been times when I really believed a car was going to pull out and then changed at the last moment and attribute that to the modulator. There have also been times when cars still pull out. :twisted: I have had a few fol...

Thought I should give an update. I ordered the VHB tape but never got to use it. I used the 3M brand PLASTIC EMBLEM ADHESIVE part# 08061. This stuff has very high VOC - use in a well ventilated area! It is solvent based and can damage some plastics. Try it on a small hidden area if you can. I masked...

My only question is "What are you waiting for?"

I had those on my 1500. I also had the lighted version of that chrome piece in front of the radiator exhaust grill. I hooked that up in parallel with those side lights and connected my ring of fire in parallel so everything was on in run mode and everything blinked with directional. While I did the ...

Tires wear faster on the left side. If you do a search you will find pages of discussion/opinions about why. But regardless of why, it's a fact of life on a Goldwing (except perhaps with a Darkside rear but that's a different kettle of fish altogether). Regarding the lean, yes happens to me all the ...

I have seen positive and negative reviews of every brand tire. I suppose we are all watching for that magic beanstalk. I never tried the bigger tire up front so I can't help with that question. The reason expounded for the reverse rotation when using a rear tire on the front is that the tire was eng...

So it should read 14.4 +/- volts when running. Alternator is most likely culprit but all connections should be checked just in case. While I wouldn't rely too much on the one hundredth voltage number, the fact that its slowly loosing voltage is a good indication that it's not charging. IMHO you are ...

You didn't say if the battery was dead or not, so don't know if it is something electrical. I had a problem similar to your explanation and found it was the auto fuel valve. On the 1500, the valve is located just forward of the gasoline filler cap. It is easily seen by opening the gas filler hatch....

Keep your existing shied in the garage and you can bolt it on if some small minded person fails your inspection.

Is the alternator charging the battery? Leave the charger on all night. Connect a volt meter across the battery terminals the next morning and let us know. Then take a reading while starting and see if it starts on its own. Jump it if need be and record the voltage while running. One other thing. Wh...

I have been coming to this site for quite a while. I like to think I have contributed some but certainly have learned more. The maintenance information is not only great but easy to find. The classified search is unique and wonderful. I know this function drives a bunch of work for WingAdmin but whe...

When I see what you just described, I start weaving from center lane to road edge and slowing down, and with ALL the lights I have glaring at him, and the Air Horns blowing for all the good that will do. if you stay in a Straight Line and sitting Vertical, YOU ARE INVISIBLE. that has been proven ma...

Understand. Some one must have a take off with holes cut out or something else good for an experiment. if all else fails, send me your gas card and I'll drive it to you - before that white stuff shows up anyway.

I have a new in box Showchrome lower cowl in black, 12+ rectangular holes. I'd like $80. It's not heavy but I don't know what postage would cost.

I remember somewhere that superglue type adhesives, while they are great in direct tension, are poor in shear strength. Some new grips come with superglue but others come with glue labeled specifically for this purpose. Black Widow is one brand I can think of. Nearly every bike shop carries at least...

PM enroute. 1,2,3,4,6,5,7,8,9,10

what brand are they?

I was using GoPro2 cameras. I have tried their fastex type mounts stuck on a helmet, stuck under the mirror and stuck under the trunk. I have also used RAM mounts on the handlebars and on the engine guards. If I were to pick one of those I would say handlebar RAM is as good as any. Also quick and ea...

While I had the hose with my GL1500 I can't remember ever using it. I have a compressor that's about the size of the original Walkman with a lighter plug. I recently bought a small battery powered one that seems fairly nice. Hopefully will never need it. I do remember a good suggestion however. As n...

I don't think it's an SE but that doesn't really affect anything except confirms the owner is unfamiliar with Goldwings.

If you don't mind a project, could be a great pickup. I would probably offer less. If you want a rider that you can use within a month you might want to keep looking.

Aftermarket stuff known to be "off" some, particularly the high volume, Chinese made goodies. Fleabay amplifies that likelihood.
