Does the 94' GL1500SE have steering stem bearing seals? If so, do they need to be replaced after re-packing the bearings? If they do need to be replaced. what are the seal PN's ? pc This should help ya. SEAL? I replace IF they're cut or torn. Lower bearing grease tells me how much dirt gets past th...

Thanks FM-USA. Would you be able to post a picture of that tool you made? I plan to use the tool only for accessing and retorqueing the steering head bearings, so I don't believe that it would need to tough enough to use an impact gun on. I don't plan to use an impact gun on that. Thanks. I don't u...

When grinding down and making your own tool from the 36 mm socket, would it be OK to use a regular socket (not impact)? I would guess that it would be less money. This is even lesser $$ .. .. :P Regular chrome socket is fine. Impact wall is thicker which fits the nut better. I used an 1-1/4" gas pi...

Hi FM-USA, Thanks for the tip. I'll lube the housing's. Happy New Year everyone, ezryder Few years ago, I did an extensive search for lowest & highest temperature grease. I found the (green) Silicone Caliper Grease works at -40 to +400 F-degrees. By mixing the grease with silicone spray you can adj...

While your IN that H-light housing, lube the hinge points.
Once in a while my adjustment takes a bump or 2 to set it.

... What is the advantage to running a rear tire on the front? Thanks. More contact patch and more miles before replacement. 8-) The one's I use gets me near 40,000 miles. Combine that to the Austone's 80K miles. It's a 2 fronts to 1 rear ratio. I'm a tour rider, not a zoom-splat, hence the tires l...

Checking in on this OLD thread wondering if there's any updates of 20 mpgs. It appears not. JUST for info, my 91 GL1500-i has 250,000 miles and still gets high 40's by myself and 2-up I've hit 51.88 mpgs twice, that was 2 years ago. Basically the same roads, winds, temps and gas station. I have the ...

Thought I'd stop back & see if there's anything new on this road Camera. It appears the issues outweigh its viability. Price is still out of my budget. OH WELL. So I picked this up on Ebay, barely used. EDGE Z3 3-Inch 2K Ultra Full HD1296P 2560x1080 Car Dash Cam Photo's of licence plates readable ab...

What causes a trailer to zigzag back and forth at speed.... ....oscillation comes and goes and is not constant...ideas? Along with tongue length there's another critical, mass weight. It's rare but oscillation can be caused by improperly loaded trailers. Keep the heaviest centered and slightly forw...

... The support arm is about an inch too short and the front lip of the rack is up under the plastic between the saddlebags under the license plate. That decreases the usable area of the rack. ... If the support arm were 2-3 inches longer it might be perfect. This can be your solution. extend.png

My 91 Wing has 250K & most of it are my miles. ALL the mileage of 2 Austone's are mine which is 160K. Yes, I got 80,000 miles out of each tire. I'm ready to put on #3 Austone. Skip posting this info, search my posts for original. I had a severe death-wobble induced by a car hitting the rear of my tr...

You're not gonna like this answer... As far as I know, there isn't an EZ way to fix this o-ring leak. I haven't taken a 1500 head off, yet, so I can't answer which is easier. Saving cost. Remove the carbs and leaking side intake, R&R the o-ring. Vaseline for lube on ring & the port it's going to. I ...

I can't seem to find it anywhere either. I sent an email to Universal Vintage Tire, which is where I bought mine, to find out what's going on. I got this email back from Universal Vintage Tire today, when I sent them an email asking if they still had the Austone: Yes we do. We have it at $164.00 pe...

I've been riding 24/365 for the past 8 years. My previous low temp rides were -17*F about 5 years ago. Late in the 1970s, -21*F but that was only 3 miles, didn't have good clothing then. Last month on Tues (Jan 29) pool league bank sign showed this chilly temp. Roads were clean and just glad where I...

I attempted to install the Pioneer 4x6 Speakers like you did however I can't figure out how to get the speakers to fit any lower in the opening. The edge around the speaker is at least 1/4" thick and the bezel won't fit over them. Now i've got this huge opening I need to figure out how to get the s...

I know some of the Harley guys used to line the inside of their pipes with stove rope, not certain what that did for back pressure but it seemed to work for noise. Lining an exhaust pipe with stove rope works like a guns silencer. Low RPM it works, high it's LOUD! The following is placed in the end...

Seen your dilemma on trailer wobble. Forgive me if you already know these, I don't know what you know. Out of possible 6 things that creates wobbles, 3 can be your problem, 2(?) covered in the thread. Since others covered the USUAL'S, I'll mention some other probables. As you read here the adding we...

Either truckers seem happier these days or they've seen me riding through previous winters but I'm getting more thumbs up from passing truckers than usual. No waves from passing bike riders, well, there are no other riders on the road. I guess 20*F for a high isn't warm enough. OH well, that 'Long L...

Always possible someone could have a similar issue and find this old thread helpful with new or missed repair suggestions.

Sorry for helping.
I'll make a note never to do it again.
