Vetter fairings were made of ABS plastic, same as all the bodywork
on our Wings. It can be repaired using ABS plumbing cement from
Home Depot or any plumbing supply place.

Re: Average age ?
I was born in 1950 and I'm 29 years old.

Re: I wonder why....alternator light?
Right after I posted yesterday, I sent VP an email.
Will miracles ever cease?
Today I got a confirmation that my order has shipped!
Amazing how that worked!

Re: Austone Taxi Tire
On the front, I have been running the Michelin Commander II.
The first one lasted almost 20,000 miles.
The second went just over 18,000.
Only have 2,000 on the current (third) one so far.
By the end of next summer, that one should be
nearly worn out.

Re: I wonder why....alternator light?
I placed an order with VP on January 3rd, that's 11 days ago.
Paypal took my money.
But so far I have not heard one peep out of VP.
No order confirmation, no nothing.
Anyone else dealt with them recently?

Re: Headlight assembly lense removal
I was thinking that warming the tail light in a pan of hot water
would work.
I will be doing this soon so I can convert to LED strips in
the tail lights.

Is there a way to get into the relay box without removing t...

Hey guys, on my '99 GL-1500 SE, I'm having a hell of time figuring out what is wrong here. At the moment, I have lost a number of systems. (but the bike still runs fine!)

Re: GL1500 Alternator Warning Light
Thanks Scott.
When I first saw your post about having to take the whole dashboard apart, my
first reaction was ARRGGHH!
But on second thought, this is a good opportunity to replace all the
dash bulbs with LEDs.
Thanks again.

Re: Going on a trip - what should I check?
On a 26 year old bike that has only 21,000 miles on it?
I'd check EVERYTHING!....TWICE!
That bike has been sitting way too long.
That's less than 1000 miles a year since it was new!
Many of us can put that many miles on our Wings in a weekend!

Re: THE EAGLE 1500 HAS LANDED !!
I belong to club which uses CB on the road constantly.
Just about everyone in the club has a CB, and we use
the CB to keep the group together on the road.
We don't talk to the truckers since we don't use channel 19.

Re: GL1500 REAR BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER OUT IN 30 MINUTES, EASY
Thanks Joe. But my bike does not need this at present.
But I like think ahead and see what others have done in case I do ever need to do it.
When it becomes necessary, it's nice to remember that, "Hey! Joe posted pics and a video about that!"
Thanks for the written description and the offer, Joe.

I wonder why....alternator light?
I can't understand why a bike that has so many extras and is as expensive as the GL1500 was (around $19,000 in 1999!!!) didn't come with AT LEAST an idiot light for the alternator. Many of us (including me) have added volt meters. But you can't ride with your eyes watching the voltmeter. A simple br...

Removing the trunk?
Does anyone know how to remove the trunk on a '99 1500?
I searched through the forum and found several threads about
removing the saddlebags, but nothing about removing the trunk.
Could have sworn I saw it here long ago when I didn't need it.
(of course)
Thanks gang.

Re: Dogs that chase motorcycles
Hmm....Bikes and Dogs.... I had one memorable encounter waaay back in 1970. I was riding my new Honda CB350 with crash bars down a local street near my house. A big Collie dog (think Lassie, 90 pounds or so) came charging out from between two parked cars. He missed and I thought nothing more of it. ...
