    Thanks, where did you get the "Honda" tank decal or whatever?

    Oh, woman, I am so sorry. Oh goodness. Thanks for y'all's advice should have been my response. Can't go back and change the past. I'd have bought a Goldwing earlier, too.

    Thanks so far gentlemen. Do y'all have experience w/ that x shaped manifold? I'm hoping Dan Filipi (sp?) will weigh in. May work on it this weekend, depending on our Florence recovery (great bit of gratitude to the fact that all I have is yard waste to pick up!!!!)

    Have not been on here in quite some time but knew this would probably be my next experiment. I bought an x-shaped manifold and 34 pict 3 carb off fleabay. I don't know a whole lot about carbs. Does the choke action increase with current or vice versa - can I run the choke with a rheostat? Does...

    Loose Carb Pucks

    The rubber end of the runners should be tightened after the bike has reached running temp.

    Loose Carb Pucks

    Randakk's kit includes them, I think. The float bowl gasket should provide the seal, loose or tight, I would think.

    Mysterious part

    Part 1 here. https://www.westernhonda.com/fiche_secti ... veh=131059 I think it keeps the wires from rubbing on the steering stem tube. Edit for pictures- I've got that part of the bike apart. There's the tab at the bottom of the stem tube that limits fork side to side travel. This bracket hold...

    Dyna S or Hondaman Transistorized Ignition?

    I believe most of the wiring on the GL is 16 Ga.. Bigger is better, I've rewired w/ 14 where possible. I am the PO from , well, someplace warm. I used the Dyna, it was simple to hook up. Mine failed a little over a year after purchase; they replaced it anyhow. By then I had the Hondaman hooked...

    Dyna S or Hondaman Transistorized Ignition?

    I like options, I still lurk over here a bit, I fit in better elsewhere. Kinda like choosing a church. Or a bar. This is a very helpful and knowledgeable forum. Lot of good stuff on here.

    Dyna S or Hondaman Transistorized Ignition?

    I have a hondaman set-up w/ GL1500 coils on my gl1000.You can email the hondaman, and see if you need the resistor pack. Been ok for 5k miles. The 1500 coils are more affordable than the dyna. If you decide dyna, go with their coils. I've drifted away from this forum because of the c5 and...

    electrical problem

    Don't know much 'bout these problems, but I'd check my fasher unit. Does sound like a ground issue. Yuch.

    GL-1000 Compression question

    The timing belts should be changed immediately. Or sooner.

    Gl1000 fuel gage

    You can try soaking the rectangular box of the sending unit in white vinegar. Or you can be more aggressive. I gently pried the 3 tabs to separate the halves so I could monitor the progress. There are pictures of this on the innerweb, possibly at NGW.com I soaked it in The Works toilet bowl...

    Starter just spins on 1984 Interstate

    In any case, I would change the timing belts sooner rather than later. Welcome to the forum.

    Jeep tires sitting in the sun baking..what to put on them to preserve?

    I don't think oil is a good idea. There is something in my head that says that will age and weaken the rubber. Dust will stick to 'em like a son of a gun. Here's a product, cheaper than a sheet of plywood. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003YJ ... GBM4AY50G3
