Is Lucas oil treatment considered to be, or contain, a friction modifier?

Yes. You can run Lucas oil, just don't start adding additives.

Assuming it has the stock forks and springs, if you pull the fork tube off the trike and remove the top cap and the main spring, with the tube fully collapsed, standing upright, it should be 5" from the tube top to where it contacts the oil. Depending on how many miles are on it, the springs may be ...

The solution isn't cheap, but it makes life so much easier. Get a Klim TK1200 modular helmet. Have the jaw bar up when you put the helmet on, so you can put on the helmet with your glasses on. It also has grooves in the padding for your glasses as well as a Transitions face shield. The fact that it ...

Yeah, if the dog bone is getting thin, and that happens, it will act up. What you're showing is just another version on an inline fuse holder like the one you have on your battery bracket. That's just a blade type fuse. Remove the dog bone and attach the in line fuse holder just like in your picture...

Ok, see the large red cable coming from the battery to that thing that looks like a switch. That switch looking thing is the dog bone fuse. The main power for the bike runs through that and if it has a micro crack, things will go dead.

I didn't think the 1500's still had the dogbane fuses, but if they do, I'd bet good money that's your problem. When you pulled and cleaned the battery cables, you probably moved the fuse and made it happy for a moment. If that's what you find, replace it with an inline blade type fuse. There should ...

Hello Mountain rider,
Man looks good and enjoy the heck out of it.

Carry On and stay safe

Frank

Thank you, Sir. We plan on giving it every chance to make us happy.

Finally got her out.

I've started carrying my mask in the trunk, just in case.

I tip it over and kick it. Sorry, 6 years later, I couldn't help myself.

Have you considered a set of chaps? Colorado Chaps, if she's still in business, will make you a set in different colors (silver grey is one of those colors), with the back half made in mesh. These are very comfortable, easy on and off, and can be had with shin and knee pads if you desire. The best p...

Yeah, tight coils down.

I did the Progressive springs, and the only thing that changed was the springs and fresh fluid. I used the OEM spacers.

How full do you fill your fuel tank? These are considered to be full when fuel hits the bottom of the filler neck. Filling above that point you run the risk of allowing fuel into the vent tube which leads to the filter canister. If that canister gets fuel in it, it will vent the fumes from time to t...

Finally joined the club. I even like the color.

Does it absolutely have to be a 2000? I listed a 1990 just out of Santa Clara, and it's not only beautiful, but ride ready. The owner is asking $2750.

I can't believe no one has grabbed this yet. I wish I had the cash, I'd put that in my garage so when the 1800 is feeling down, I could jump on and ride.

Here's the contact information: Doug Green

He's located just South of Santa Clara.

I'll try and post what pictures I have tomorrow. This is an absolutely beautiful bike, and if I had the money or the need for another bike, I'd buy it myself. For someone looking to get into their first Goldwing, this would be a killer deal.

I see, and my error.

I'm posting this for a friend of a friend. For sale: 1990 Goldwing GL1500SE. Really good condition, complete service record, 1990 Honda Service Manual, and VIN printout. Lots of extras including an F4 windshield, Corbin seat with sheepskin seat cover, Muth mirrors with built in turn signals, 55 watt...

C-dub, like you I've come to the determination that a trailer is a must. Our Summer trip found us way (WAY) overloaded. Also, based on your avatar, I'm assuming you're an LEO. If that's the case, did you get a discount from Klim? If not, go to klim.com, and fill out the application in their VIP sect...

It could be something in the final drive going South. Actually a rather common thing, but not that expensive or difficult to repair. Now as to the 98, that's low mileage and the 1500's are great bikes. The trade offs between the 1800 and the 1500, 1800 is fuel injected and the 1500 has carbs. The 15...

I know of two Wings for sale, and if you're interested, I can send you a PM with the info. One 2001 about $6000, and a 2003 for $6399. Both appear to be in beautiful condition and well maintained, and both are red. The 2003 is in Nashville, not Memphis...my bad, and is well dressed, it's around $600...

How far would you go to buy a bike? Is Virginia or Memphis to much out of the way? What price range are you working with?
