Lol your mum look slender but she has one giant appetite. Good for her

Well today I’m near Fengirola in Spain watching England cricket team beat New Zealand on TV as well as sorting out a new garage to get my Goldwing MOT.
I’ve moved to Surrey so finding a local place is important.

I had this problem and no matter what I did it would not open. As a final attempt I removed the saddle and saw there is a row of nuts and bolts holding the 2 half’s of the pannier together. A bit tricky I removed as many as I could without stripping out other bits. Then gently prised the 2 parts apa...

Using a mobile phone in the UK has been against the law for many years. There have been many horrific accidents by drivers in cars and trucks causing multiple deaths. Many cyclists (peddle bikes) have turned vigilantes and recording drivers then passing the information on to the police. The police n...

Thanks MikeB The plug/socket I want to get access too is defined as 6P B1 (mini). I think its located near or under the air-box could you clever people out there please confirm before I strip the bike down, 6P is attached to the gear selector. Whoever wrote the manuals must have now moved on to MI5 ...

hi can anyone advise where I can find a document that shows the location on the bike (1800 - 2004) of the electrical plug and sockets.
I have a CD manual but cannot find anything on the locations.

Thanks

Great report, will fit these to my 1800 as soon as they become available in the UK. Just a further point when are going to drive on the correct side of the road (left)

Hi unfortunately the design of the frame on an 1800 is not the same as a 1500. The frame of the 1800 does not come low level.

As I need to also lift my 1800 would also appreciate some advise from the guys who have done it previously without cracking the crank case

Hi, a gathering sounds like a great idea, reminds me of the film Highlander, "There can be only one". Now you guy are clever, so please provide details of making my Honda ocean going, pictures and video will be extremely helpful. Seriously I would really like to meet some of you but logistically and...

I don't have a problem getting on my Goldwing it's the getting off, I have to do the Goldwing Shuffle or the left leg hop sliding my right leg over the seat.

This maybe the wrong area, but I have looked in loads of places and not found a satisfactory answer.
What is the format of the CD player MP3, Wav ? I want to burn some discs with my own music choice.

My bike is an 2004 1800

Thanks

Good news, I had reason to change my windscreen and hey-presto the blue LEDs lite up the screen on the replacement. So the moral is there are screens out there that due to there manufacture will not transmit the light. Well I assume it's due to the way they are manufactured.

Stop drill the hole (this is the same method used to fix cracks on non-critical airplane parts) but don't fill it. The hole needs to be left open to distribute the forces and keep the crack from propagating. Hi Wingman When you say "stop drill the hole" what does this mean, is it do not drill right...

Hi
Has anyone out there had a stress crack on your windscreen and managed to repair the same. I think the only way is to drill a small hole say 1mm at the end of the crack and then fill the hole with some sort of clear filler...but I bow to others greater experience

Thanks

Hi all I just wish my screen looked half as good as the example it would be great. But the on the example the actual LEDs can be seen at the bottom. I have used 45 LEDs type 3528 they are water proof (ip65 I think). My LEDs are at the very bottom of the screen with LEDs touching (through the jelly) ...

Hi all I polished the end edge using a Dremmel, it is not possible to polish the edge to look clear as the screen front, the light reflects differently, and it looks dark ( this is getting too technical for me) the LEDs I am using are the same spec as you suggest but just blue and guess what they do...

Hi Polished the edge with fine sand paper which made the edge become clear. I secured the LEDs with insulation tape as this allowed greater control on the position of the actual LEDs against the edge. I went across the LEDs with about 30 strips then length ways along the strips to prevent the ends c...

Hi, I have just done this project using blue led's, and was very disappointed with the result I.e no glow up the screen. I think this may be due to the bottom edge, and intend to clean the edge with some sand-paper. The other main reason to reply was that I fitted my led's via male/female plug makes...

Hi
Thanks for that on reflection I will fit the resistors, did you fit yours under the top pannier where it's easy access for frame.

Hi Wingadmin I have upgraded front and rear turn lights for LEDs, I read yours and others article on this, and read you changed your flasher unit for an electronic unit CF13JL02. However on my bike the OEM flasher is 3 inline pins and not a boxed spade connections. I have seen on eBay an electronic ...

Hi again Wing, on the subject of auto cancellation of the turn signal I have totally removed the radio unit from my 1500. When I took it out on the road the turn indicators do not auto cancel they work ok manually. The radio will not be returned, is this the reason for the non-auto function, if yes ...

Thanks Wing, I would like to say I have followed your advise and completed several projects.
I would however suggest you review the pictures on this subject and you will clearly see the jack is just in front of the centre stand, and the bike is on the centre stand. Just a thought. Thanks again

I appreciate your comment, and fully understand how to make the bike balance, but to move it further back would mean the bike not being on the centre stand at the start of the lift, and one of the supports of the jack would be on the folded centre stand. With your experience would this method be ok ...

Hi from sunny UK which was a week ago flooded. I have purchased a lift unit very similar to your one shown. My bike is a1500, I positioned the jack, as you described, when I started to lift the front came up first, then the back. This was done very slowly as it was my first lift. When the rear wheel...

Are you/can you export to UK because I would like one as well
