[QUOTE="Rednaxs60, post: 207584, member: 4617"] Brian - life gets in the way and we may branch off into a different direction, but that's okay, keeps us young, even if it is in our minds. My interest, besides learning and enjoying the threads, is that engines for my 1200, an '85 LTD FI bike are not that plentiful and finding information to keep it going is a worthwhile endeavour. It is good for me as I am retired as well, and need a project or something similar to keep the mind sharp and active - shudder at the thought of maybe going back to work, not happening. Looking at the 1500 right now. Have one and enjoy it, but it will not get the same TLC as my 1200. I'm going to look at the crank and con rod bearings for the 1500 and see if these items may be a suitable alternative. Honda was not in the business of reinventing the wheel so to speak. I looked at the piston size and it is 71.1 mm versus the 70.5 mm for the 1200. You used rings from a 2000 tracker 1.6 litre engine and changed the end gap to suit. This would also be possible with the 1500 rings I would think, not taking into consideration the cost - car rings are more appealing. Head gasket prices are expensive, but I can tell you that Honda head gaskets are $80.00 a pop here north of the border and available from Honda. I think you can get a set for $50.00 CDN plus shipping: [url=https://www.ebay.ca/itm/KR-Motorcycle-head-gasket-HONDA-GL-1100-D-Goldwing-GL-1200-D-Goldwing-80-88/151709538653?hash=item235297d95d:g:xBUAAOSwpdpVeAzC:rk:3:pf:0&vxp=mtr]https://www.ebay.ca/itm/KR-Motorcycle-h ... :0&vxp=mtr[/url] These look good from the pics. Got a bit more research to do. Cheers [/QUOTE]
