WingAdmin: Do u know any instructional step by step videos I could watch to do it myself?

I wish u were here!!

About how much labor (in hours) remove and reassemble the following parts on a 1500?

left lower cowl
left deflector
and the deflector cap

The parts are damaged, but I have replacement (OEM) ones

I was told about 2.5 hrs

I guess I can now take it to a shop for a written estimate. The estimate (now I know what needs fixed) would be free & wud be based on about $120.00 / hr. If they say 3 hrs (or $360) + $800 for parts = $1160.00 & the tow guys gimme 60% of that (or $700), my buddy will charge 40 / hr & is just as goo...

The Honda dealer wud charge me $220.00 just to tell me what was wrong with it. Neither the tow company or the company that dispatched the tow company would pay for that

UPDATE: I got my bike towed & the driver damaged it. I had a Goldwing guy (who rebuilds them) take pictures & confirm the damage was done by the tow. The tow driver denies he did it, but the tow company is offering 50 / 50 settlement of the total parts & labour repair & wants a reply within 3 days. ...

Good idea Mike I'l consider that. Seems towing company wants to settle real quick, but not me

yes The reason the time lapse is cuz they wanted someone "official" to document damage & I cudn't find anyone w/o paying 100 / hr for 2 or 3 hrs, so after 3 months I finally convinced them to get my GWRRA buddy to do it. Going via the company that dispatches GWRRA Rescue Plus& get them to talk with ...

dialogue came from guy who rebuilds them. Was acceptable for possible claim

Thinking of it (court) No real proof of anything...just this: "Damage on left side of the motorcycle was caused by excessive tightening of a tie-down strap which put pressure on the left lower cowl breaking it also the left deflector both broken and the deflector cap is gone due to the others breaki...

A tow truck driver caused some ($1200) damage to my bike when he towed it. I had someone in the know document the damage was done from the tow

The tow truck driver denied he caused the body damage & they offered me 50% of the total repair bill.

What would you do?

Thank you

ok thanx. What do u suggest for a 1500?

Thank u again

Ok thanx...do u advise them for a 1500?

Anyway, what do u have from tires on your 08?

NEWday777:

so what do u have now for tires (both front & rear) on your Wing now?

I don't think I want to, but do any of u with a 1992 to 1996 have a Michelin Commander 2 on the front & some other brand of tire on the rear, or what is the next best tire to a Commander 2 on the rear?

thing is..where can I getta Commander 2 for the rear of my 1500?

I've got E3 in both front & rear, but the rear (60% left) seems to hava slow leak & wondring what I can put in it (like a product called "Ride-Along", or something else) to stop the leak

Ya, I c that (only front tire)

I found a set for my 1500 on bike bandit

Ever heard of Michelin Defender 2 tires? What have u heard?

A guy want to buy my 1500 & get it triked. He was wondering about the cost & if it wud b easy to put it back to 2 wheels for awhile if he wanted to. Feedback?

it's not really the ignition, but the part that holds the push start button

I talked to a wing guy I mostly trust & he said it;s ok for them to b a little loose, altho I doubt that's true. I just wish I knew where the little blots are that I tighten up & what kinda tool that I use to do it.

Thanx

Ok thanx. I appreciate the information
