Re: Just Bought a Goldwing!!!
Another good idea is to replace all the relays. A rare weak spot in the bikes. Good news the best place to pick them up is right here on this site. Look in the for sale page.

Re: Just Bought a Goldwing!!!
Welcome to the world of the best touring bikes on the planet. After changing the timing belts you should consider all the fluids on the bike. Brake,clutch fluid would be next on my list. And I would also replace the brake,clutch lines. They will be a tad mushy after all these years. I not sure about...

Re: 1500 header install. Gasket tack?
I've got small leaks on all 4 chamber connections. On my new/used chamber I can see a groove in it from the clamp. I wonder if it's leaking there? Might be able to see it in a previous pic above. My clamps were all distorted and so was the mufflers. I was hoping they would all true them self's up? ...

Re: 1500 header install. Gasket tack?
Due to ongoing leaking issues with my header to collector box I had to change them 4 times in one month trying to fix the small exhaust leak. I've got it down to changing the header gaskets to about 15 min. Just be careful installing them I have never had much trouble with them. and as Rambozo state...

K2 camera issues
Hi all, installed a K2 camera system a couple of years ago. Have always had some issues with 100% functionality, couldn't view some of the video clips on my phone over Wi-Fi, insert the SD card into my computer and there it all is. Unit refused to change from 5min intervals to 10min and the GPS didn...

Flush and fill front forks
Hi all. Want to drain, flush and refill my front forks this spring. The seals are not leaking so it's just a flush and fill. Was wondering what I can use to flush out the forks before refilling, and any recommendations as to what type fork oil. I realize I may start a new "Oil war" but hop...

Re: How to track and display your trips for free!
I am a little torn. Like the security minded people I don't like to share information without my knowledge, but as a rider who rides substantially on my own, on some very secluded back roads, the ability to find me if something beyond my control should happen has it's appeal.

Re: Bike shuts down on highway
Don't know if you have solved the problem yet. My 97 had a similar problem and finally traced it down to the kill switch. The movement had become very soft and mushy there should be a definite click from the run position to the stop positions in both directions. Maybe next time it happens try tappin...
