Nice work! Considering to do something similar

Personnaly i would try to get a newer motor. An '88 might come with the same problem, as the newer ones from i believe '95 and later (correct me if i'm wrong) have modifications to the gearbox to prevent your problem........ The first 1500's used other carbs too, don't know if that will cause any pr...

I have an aux cable on my SE and put a bluetooth receiver on the end of it. Navigating on the telephone (TT Go Mobile) and playing music from the same device. Using the old, but highly reliable intercom onboard . Never have to replace or charge batteries of the intercoms and at a fraction of the cos...

Mine make noise too, but they handle great for about 10000 km by now. In dry and wet.........

Nope, the radio amplifies the signal from the CB and without it................... No amplification
Also the mic input is through the radio....

That settles it then; the sync IS adjusting the linkage as said here before by Dave0430! Thanks for the pic

Synching the carbs IS adjusting the linkage on a 1500, and other Goldwings & most other multi cylinder bikes. The old BMW & other things are a different animal, the carbs are synched with separate idle screws on each carb then the linkage is adjusted to make them respond simultaneously. I worked on...

No, it’s just a comment from a friend who adjusted huis linkage on huis bmw this way and that got me wondering About this. First he synced the carbs and after that he adjusts the linkage by the method mentioned. So i thought maybe our bikes have this adjustable linkage too. It would explain some pro...

You can test if the linkage is bad by, after you synched the carburators, lightly turn the throttle to; let's say 1500-2000 rpm
and see if you get different readings from the meters of the carb sync tool i presume? Or is there an other way?

Is the linkage between the caburators ajustable? And then i do not mean synchronising the carbs, but when you twist the throttle the 2 carbs should respond simultaniously, wich is done by a linkage between the carbs. So is this linkage adjustable? With BMW's it is, but how about the GL1500? I can im...

Tried that approach last year, it lasted three lessons..................................................D*mn!!

Iv'e installed thes progressive shocks and altough i find the handling immensly better, they are rock hard and now iv'e a complaining spouse on the back. Is this permanent or will they soften up a bit after some time? I ride them with very low air pressure, but still........ Did i say that i love th...

Used the same method for my lenses too, worked brilliantly. Tried a spare pair i had on the BBQ............. That ended in tears, plastic tears :roll: :lol: Going to replace all the lighting on the back with LED, but planning to do it a bit different as Wingadmin, with 15 round 40mm halos for the ru...

I use the method with the syringe an change the fluid from the callipers to the reservoir. This way, no air wil ever enter the brake lines and it is done in
a very short time.

The only oil that is in the damper is in there.
There is no other oil in the shock.........It's just a little hard to replace, that's all. You can use a syringe, for example. (Did i spell that correct?)

You can fill it trough the in/outlet of the airhose

Don't you think you were expecting a bit to much from 80's technique? Yes, the standard intercom is noisy, but it was top of the line 30!! years ago. Some work to get it up to todays level could be expected i would think............ A simple push button to break the circuit is sufficient and doesn't...

I tried to find that tire on the Nokian website and they only list it in 15, 16, and 20 inch rim sizes. I think you had a typo, it needs a 16" tire. https://www.nokiantires.com/tires/suv-4x4-tyres/summer-tires/ can you link to the one you have, I need it for my Bookmarks, please. I think he ment th...

I would point out one of your 3 ignition coils as a suspect, proably the front one as it is the first one to get wet
But only testing will let you know ............

Before you remove the rear brake cilinder, i would rebuild the callipers first and see what gue comes out of these. I've recently replaced the rear brake cilinder and it was a lot of work! And when i say a lot, i mean a lot!!! But it brakes as never before...............

May the force be with you, abeit the dark side of it............................ I think i will fit a car tyre too the next time the rear tyre is worn out....

I doubt the shipping will be free to the Netherlands, but thank you for the link

The projector project is starting to sound more attractive by the minute..........

I am not afraid to take the assembly apart, 10min at 80 Celsius wil soften the glue. It is the mirror i am worried about and if it's repairable at reasonable cost.
It is the latter i am worried about the most

Maybe a strange question, but is there any way to repair/repaint the chrome finish of the mirrors of the clear headlight of the '98 - '00 GL1500? Mine are showing the white plastic that's underneath the chrome surface due to, i presume, the heat of the halogen bulbs that were in there. It's not that...
