Re: buttons

To have almost all disassembled the switches, and lubricate with silicone grease, your part seems to me in good condition.

Re: Cylinder compression

The important thing is that the compression on all the cylinders must be less than 5 to 10 pounds between all the cylinders.
But has 5 pounds no problem.

Here is the shelter I made for another bike that I had before my GoldWing 1800,
Unfortunately this shelter was too small for my Gold, I had to sell it.
These super shelters like this, these quickly open and close.
One or the other model you will be satisfied.

I would secure the shock absorber U-piece which is pressed on the support of the creek, it would be better not to receive a part in face.
Because the U-shaped piece is aluminum, but it works well for him.
