water pumps

looking for a water pump to buy for my 83 gl 1100 is the caltric pump worth its money

When it comes to water pumps, ALLWAYS go OEM.(pump and gaskets) You have to be very meticulous when you change a water pump on these beasts. There are different lengths of bolts that need to be noted,and torque sequences that must be followed. After all that- you don't want to do it again after 6 months. I have no experience of the aforementioned brand, I would search online for reviews. Let us know how it comes out. Regards, Johnny

What he said. Virtually every time someone comes on here to complain about a newly-installed water pump failing after only a few months, it's because they "saved a few dollars" by buying an aftermarket pump. You never hear about the OEM Honda pumps failing after only a few months (or years, for that matter).

No, they do not. They sell cheap Chinese knockoff water pumps. See in my post above where I mention about people buying cheap aftermarket water pumps that fail after a couple of months? I was actually referring specifically to Saber Cycle water pumps. They are well known for failing quickly.

Saber Cycle sells junk. You should probably read about other peoples' experiences with them before spending any money there: /Vendors/Saber-Cycle_880

it does say "aftermarket" in the description. i would stay away from both the product and the supplier.

Cyclemax is the best. Probably the most honest, upstanding Goldwing parts and accessories dealer on the Internet.
