    Reinforcing cracked floor of tour pack

    1985 GL1200I tour pack floor has cracked out around all four mounting bolts. I previously repaired with body resin and fibergass mesh but after 5 years or so it has cracked again. I have seen steel plates advertised for Harley tour packs and, after thinking about it, my thought is to use a...

    Motorcycle Cover

    Good day all. 1985 GL1200I with an OEM Hondaline fitted cover that finally bit the dust (got old and brittle, splitting apart). Any recommendations for a good fitting aftermarket cover? I do not have a garage so she sits outside and I cannot find any source for the Hondaline cover now. Any...

    Rear shock lower bolts

    Good day, all. A couple months ago I lost a chunk of tread out of my rear tire. I posted and got some good advise. Multiple "issues" have kept me from getting her back on the road and I am finally getting it apart to put the tire on. I watched a couple videos on how to do it and got the bike...

    C B radio install?

    I had a full size CB radio on my 75 BMW years ago and would like to put one on my 85 Wing. Anybody have any experience with a good antenna? My radio is a bit modified, it will key 11 watts and swings 42 so antenna is a consideration to make sure I do not damage the radio. I am also not really...

    New from southwest Ohio

    Good day all. Old guy, old bike, started my riding career on a 1962 Triumph Bonneville, spent most of my riding time on a 1975 BMW R90/6 that I bought new and sold some time in the late 1990s or early 2000s (forget which). I bought my current ride as a mid life crisis that hit me 20 years late...
