You're welcome! I had a GW mechanic recommend that I dust the alternator frequently because I live in a dusty area. An 02 I had was in the shop for one of the early recalls back in the day. He had a policy of dusting the wing alternator on the bikes he worked on. He told me that mine was the dirtie...

YouTube and I had a falling out of sorts and I put a nail in my channel. Long story, lots of politics. But that video is no longer available. I don't remember the process now that it is 4 years later but I have the video in an archive somewhere and can look tomorrow and let you know. You are talkin...

I live 3 miles down a dirt/gravel road. Every time I go out for a ride I get 6 miles of dust. The Wing is a dust vacuum under all the plastic. With that, I usually do a dusting of the alternator, wheels, underneath and the dash/switch buttons with compressed air at days end back at the house. When ...

I had my biggest year ever...Just missed 45K ridden. Normally Im in the 16-25 range.
P.S no covid and no fear of it either.

I had the same problem over time as my seat began to wear out..So instead of lowering the foot pegs I raised my sitting position. I found at my local fabric shop HIGH DENSITY foam 1 inch thick cut to fit and Wa-La, suddenly hitting higher with broader support. And it wont absorb water. And its cheap...

I'm just glad to hear it happened to someone else. Thank you!

You should just order a factory service manual.

Bikebandit.com good prices on most things goldwing.

I'm late to the party, but to those who worry about the various noises a gl1800 makes need really not worry. These bikes really clunk and thunk. ADGs make a normal amount of noise that varies frome one bike to the next. I've heard pulse secondary air injection solenoids make noise. I've heard fuel ...

Maybe the 3 way joint or its connection? Hate too say it but Id be pulling the tank.

I'd replace it. Cheap insurance and peace of mind.

Replacement OEM battery from Amazon is very reasonable. Peace of mind is priceless.

There is a O ring right there in that area. The silver pipe going into the Cyl head.
Go to Bike bandit and look your bike up its part I believe its part #23.
But thats just my 2 cent best guess.

You sure one of the Harley guys didn't "adjust" the kill switch for you? I've found mine "adjusted" in similar situations more than once....

Ha same here...

I canceled that order and will install the Show Chrome replacement heated grips. I would have gone with the Inferno style but it didn't seem that they would work with the stock heat system.

Hmmmm cant go wrong with the stockers. Hope it all works out for you...

Lookout Mountain above Denver is a regular Antenna farm, probably 15 big towers up there! OK - Here's the new "mark". Since we've got the Radio/TV Transmitter tower, how about your bike in front of a TV/Radio Studio building. The Studio's sign needs to include the CallSign or Frequency. Everybody h...

Forget the trike conversion put a side car on it...Much cooler looking.

Yes, even changed it to be on the safe side.

Yea they pop funny sometimes. But this problem just started up out of the blue?

I too am having problems with my reverse. Light comes on but flashes, when I depress the button the R light flashes slower. Need to stop the engine before I can get it out of reverse. Im thinking I might change the reverse solenoid as theres no clicking like it usually does. Are the starter solenoi...

I figured out a fix for my rear brake shudder... I'm pushing 23300K on my 06 and maintenance is a fact of life. I realized I had never replaced the spring pad or retainer on any of my calipers. So while I was replacing the rear disc with a good used one. I found the retainer was so loose it would ju...

Swapping out to LED's without installing a different flasher relay causes the signals to flash rapidly.
I used Socalmotorgear for my conversion LED's. They are very helpful and may be able to answer your
power draw questions.

Dont 4get safety goggles.

Do you have stock mufflers??

Yes, exhaust is stock

Mine shuddered more (especially in bumper to bumper in summer) when I had an aftermarket exhaust installed that had no heat shield.
Less now after going back to stock exhaust system

I just built a fully electric reverse trike so I guess I only use non-AC electrons

Oh boy picture picture!!!

I cant imagine a time when the "magic" just drains away! But have always said if I ever get too old or lazy to put my feet down I will put a side car on my wing. So the magic can continue. Or try a lighter bike and then maybe put a side car on that one... So I picked up this last year and use it for...

So that's why I haven't seen you around town...
