Yup, that is a kind of transformer for the saddlebag lights. Those saddlebag lights do not use bulbs. They are a kind of electroluminescent panel and they are known to go bad. That little transformer puts out about 100 volts if it is working, so be careful. Since my saddlebag lights were not working...

Hey gang, I was coming home around noon today in the pickup truck, on a stretch of road that I usually ride on my Goldwing, when I almost got it. I was following a flat bed/roll off/tow truck. Luckily, I wasn't following too closely. He had a wooden pallet with a V8 engine strapped to the deck. He h...

Wow! That looks beautiful!
And it's the rare yellow to boot!
I believe only 500 were made in that color.

The gas stations we start at are fully functional with coffee, all kinds of eats and the such its not just gas. Same here. We usually meet at the local Quick Check which is a gas station with a store/mini restaurant attached. "Kick Stands Up" is usually scheduled for a half hour after the meet up t...

I belong to the Blue Knights TX 1 www.blueknightstx1.org we are often riding in groups either to a meal a couple of times a month or more lengthy rides to a set destination. We meet at various locations and have a KSU (Kick Stands Up) time. We leave at that time and if you aren't there you know whe...

Just ordered both the A and B from third party suppliers. Not Honda but 20 bucks each new. Not China material.

Who did you buy them from?
Can you give us a link?

I agree. But I'll bet that those relays are used in other vehicles out there and
are made by some outside source. I doubt Honda makes them themselves.

I just started having the same problem with my 1500.
Cyclemax wants $65 for each of those relays.
Seems a bit excessive to me.
Anyone know of a better source?
Thanks in advance guys.

Very nice, but I would have mounted them parallel to the top
of the exhaust system myself.
Otherwise, perfect!

That link describes my problem exactly!
Thanks very much.
I'll report back when I have a chance to take the seat off
and look at that 21 pin connector.

On my '99 Gl 1500.... I have a problem that comes and goes. I will lose all tail lights and brake lights, and when this happens, the dashboard directional indicators will both light, as well as front directional signals. (but not the rears) The dash lights and front lights do not flash. They just al...

On the trailer I built years ago, I had the same concern about the trailer not being seen. I found a pair of chrome directional signals off of a Yamaha that had fairly long chrome stalks so that they protruded out from the side of the bike. I mounted those lights standing vertically on the edges of ...

That has to be an oil cooler up front.
An engine that size would have a BIG radiator.
And I don't care how fast you are riding. You would
be ROASTING behind that big engine.
Not me. Nope, nope and nope.

Really? My '74 BMW R90 regularly got 12,000 out of a rear, and 22,000 out of a front. I always ran Continentals on it. I put over 172,000 miles on that bike. My '99 Goldwing got 18,000 out of the last Michelin Commander II on the front. I have yet to wear out a rear car tire, so I can't say how long...

Looks like it hasn't been run in a long time.
Like any old Goldwing, I wouldn't even THINK about starting that engine until the timing belts were changed.

I used electrolysis on my 76 Wing.
Took a few days, but the tank came out looking like new.

Black??
Why not white which would reflect the heat?

A belt every 10,000 miles???
That is ridiculous!!
I'd be going through a belt a year, or even more often!!
Totally unacceptable.

O, and TY offcenter! Pics are awesome!!!
The double ball is preemo, my man. A lot of people don't know that exists and it makes the whole thing work.

Thank you. Thank you very much. (in my best Elvis imitation)

My two cents? My GL-1500 handled like a truck and howled like a banshee when I got it. It had those damned Dunflops on it. I put Michelin Commander II tires on it. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!! Now it handles almost like a sport bike and there is NO HOWLING! And don't believe the owner's manual. Run 41 pounds...

American CB radio is transmitted in AM, on the 27 megacycle band.

Things that make you go "Uh....."
That has got to steer like a truck.
In fact, he should have just BOUGHT a truck!

I bought one of the last that was available from Universal Tire before they ran out of them.
They are now unavailable.
But the RUMOR is that Universal is looking for something to replace the Austone.

Ok, thanks Chappie.
Appreciate the info.

We had a BEAUTIFUL evening for Bike Night tonight. 75 degrees and a light breeze. Perfect! The event is growing at the new location. We had somewhere around 75 bikes there tonight, maybe a few more. Hard to tell when they keep going in and out. And I counted seven Goldwings! Hope more of you will co...
