I'm loosing spark on 1&2 and I can hear the coil sparking at lower RPM. I'm still running Points and Condensers. Aside from trying to find OEM, am I able to get the Dyna DC1-1 3Ohm coils and have them fit and work correctly? As shown here...

PO had installed MDI (universal?) shocks that are approximately 11.5 inches open. They are fairly new; It does add to the look of the GL1000 and it helps in height since I'm a shorter dude. But I've run into a few issues... I am a heavier dude and I don't know if the shocks are a good fit...

Hey I'm back! 1975 GL1000 So, after going for a nice joy ride and putting about 200 miles on the bike this year, everything seemed to be just fine. Again I took another trip with it on a really warm day (85F) and noticed that temp gauge was in the higher end of the scale to almost in the...

Okay... so new topic for my bike... I finally pulled the engine out to do some work on replacing the outer clutch basket. So at the same time I thought I'd clean our the Oil Screen and replace the Neutral Light. :help: :help: :help: :help: :help: I can't believe all the time and...

So, this (new-to-me) bike has been a real roller coaster. But, I'll get right to the point. I've noticed some issues with shifting and engaging/disengaging the clutch. I've replaced the clutch cable and did all the adjustments in accordance with the tech manual. It continued to have the...

In the past two days the 75 GL1000 was having a hard time idling. Its rough and basically dies at 1000 RPMs. At higher RPMs it seems to be steady and with the occasional misfire. I've noticed fuel leaking from the right exhaust pipe. Also Cylinder #1 is cooler to the touch than the other...

I've looked at the rear brake line on my GL1000 75 and it looks like rubber on the shorter section leading to the caliper is dry rotting. What's the fitting size of the Flare end that goes into the master cylinder? Could I replaces it with a banjo bolt? I think I'm going to replace the...

I've got a modified GL1000 75 with saddle bags. The previous owner had running lights added to it but I would rather swap them out with lights (LED) that will turn on with braking or even have a turn signal included on them. As of right now I feel the running lights are more noticeable and...

So I'm in a bit of a pickle. This 1975 GL1000 had a previous owner install LED flashers on it and he never got around to install any resistors or a new flasher unit for it. I decided to pick up this one. I've read in other forums that they have used this one for other LED mods for...

I picked this bike up on a trade for my old 1996 Chevy Blazer that only had a little life left in it. I'll admit now that I've never been on a bike before and seem to always put it off year after year. So why not just get it over with and dive in with a 1975 Goldwing? I had a friend help check...
