Are you specifically looking to boost AM performance, FM performance, or both? Over the last few decades, the amount of noise-polluting electronics has degraded AM reception dramatically. Here's a Canadian government document with some background on the topic: https://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/smt-gst.n...

...or, ride in an area with no bugs.

One of the (few) positive things about riding in cold(er) temperatures.

It appears that someone decided to remove the video. Too bad. It was kind of cute.

Yeah, audio is gone for me.

YouTube censorship for the music, probably. Too bad.

So, going back and re-reading post No. 1 in the thread, the limitation is within a day or two of home. Well, now, that expands things. I mean, stuff around home, you just don't think about taking pictures or video, but if you're on a trip... A lot of these I have also at my blog (link in sig line be...

Replacing plastic pieces on a 20 year old motorcycle isn't for the faint of heart.

If you're untrusting of the illustrated parts breakdown as shown on-line, you have options out there.

Interesting... :geek: The 'door' is called LID in Honda-speak. I looked up the 'outer trunk pocket' (which is where the lid is attached...) - the old pocket is 82211-MCA-000. The current is 82211-MCA-A60. 82220-MCA-000 is the old lid. The new one? 82220-MCA-A60ZA I looked up the parts on the link th...

Read both of Kwthorm's links, and still don't see where it makes a driver more educated as to how to drive correctly, only a let me do it for you attitude. If people knew more about what they should do rather than expecting the vehicle doing it for then, I believe it would be much safer on the road...

So what boots does everyone use that ride year round without heated insoles? Danner Kinetic which is a 6" boot. This is a law enforcement designed boot, so very comfortable both on and off bike for hours at a time. Since most of my riding is in the heat of the desert, this is a boot that works well...

<...>With all the garbage they put on them now, you have to have a book to find the spark plugs. "KISS has gone out the window. :roll: An interesting response (better than what I could have written...) here: https://pictures.dealer.com/seekinsfordfd/c79a7f9a0a0d028a01883d5f54ce8af7.pdf So, maybe th...

<...> I'd love to hear what you all have for suggestions. I've lurked here for a while and this really is a wonderful forum. Those with more familiarity with the GL1500's unique quirks have checked in and will continue to do so (for your sake, I hope...) with those things that could be an issue on ...

Search Amazon for "GLK Landing Gear" for price & compatibility (does claim to have a version for GL1500). I did read elsewhere small discount if procured direct from manufacturer in S. Korea.

Maybe I should have taken that road getting from Yuma to Oro Valley, instead of West Tangerine! Looks like a lot more fun! You're closer to Catalina than you are Oro Valley on Park Link, but if you were aiming for the northern end of 'the OV', then this is certainly an option. There are a couple of...

Being it's Dec. 27 in the Great White North the topic of this thread is but a distant memory,,,,.

Not really...

I read the thread, then went and read the thread with the story behind the story that was told here. The one about how riders from all over attempted to get your bike operational. It was difficult to tell, but maybe there is a story to share about that specific bike. In my signature line on this for...

There's a surly looking idiot that walks his dog thru my 'hood to get to an open area. Some GSD/mongrel that he doesn't have good control of, it appears to me. As they're walking on the one side of the streets that has a sidewalk, the owner seems to get his kicks on watching what the dog does as I'm...

For those that may not pay attention to the obituary column... https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/tucson/name/Helen-Musselman-obituary?pid=197255903 That little shop in the desert has been selling Honda products since 1959. This has been posted before, but worth seeing again: KGc6zHx-iEo RIP, Helen!

I guess it would depend on your air chuck. The only valve I had at the moment I put a new front tire on a new-to-me rim was a short, straight metal stem. Welp, my dual tire chuck (Harbor Freight) might fit a semi, but doesn't fit that valve stem. Grrr.... I have to break out my inflator that lives o...

It's too bad some whiz-kid doesn't come up with a firmware upgrade for our older radios to eliminate the limitations. There's a few hard-wired limitations internal to the head unit, from my study of a few of the initial integration issues way back in the BikeMP3 days. Thus, not just a simple 'rever...

Somewhere along the way, they changed the basic idea of what a Goldwing should be. ...and, yet, that wasn't the *first* time that happened (changing the basic idea...) Ref: GL1200 vs GL1500 What's old is new again. Less than 200,000 GL1800's were sold in North America during the years it was made. ...

Corbin - OK. That's where I should have looked. Imagine what can be accomplished with a little creativity. Maybe Honda should change the designer. Honda should change what designer - the one that did the saddlebags, etc. on the +18 bike? No, that was 100% intentional ! https://www.cycleworld.com/20...

Maybe someone else can pick up the reins for them.

That doesn't seem to be in the cards at this time. Not exactly clear if anyone has been approached about this (not that info like this would be public...) either.

I know, another older thread resurrection... The unfortunate part about threads like these is that we have yet to get the 'post ride download' from the OP @dingdong about his perspective on US50. Even if it's been a couple of years since it happened. I've been on it (U.S. 50) twice. Our first longe...

Update:

"please pass the word Ed is ill and can not continue the business."

Unfortunate, but that's the word as of now.

Found on another forum that Edsets is no longer in business - their web presence is ::poof:: gone.

What I didn't find is why. Probably not hard to think that our pandemic may have had something to do with it, but...

Anyone here with any other details on their demise to share?
