the first stop on my ride was to fill the tank. I do have some atf in there from the last fill up. I'll go ahead and add a little more and see if that will do the job :moped:

Just an update. I pulled the starter. bought new brushes and mounting plate from ebay. I found goldwingdocs had starter rebuild instructions, so I followed them ecept using existing bearings. I did use 1500 grit emery cloth to clean the surfaces where the starter contacts the engine block...

:headscratch: Any suggestions where to get a rebuild kit? Are the gl1200 starters the same as gl1100?

I pulled the starter today. I twas pretty easy to remove. I removed the end cap that covers the brushes and found it to have a lot of dirt inside. the armiture has a lot of play end to end maybe 3/8". I've never worked on a starter. Can I test it with an ohm meter? Any advice what to do next is...

Does this kit require any mods to to the faring to install?

It seems that the HID's have issues, premature failure.

Dan, How is the led headlight holding up?

I have to admit when you said _"happy ending" I thought of something else :Egyptian:

:smilie_happy: LOL, no, LMAO I just saw this, you guys are too funny :yahoo:

It was a cool day so I wore the leather otherwise I have a mesh jacket that's not too bad when it's hot. also I normally don't wear the armor pants unless I'm going on a long ride but I saw them in the closet and thought if I go down and I'm not wearing these I will feel pretty dumb, so I put...
