I don't live that far away. I live in Sequim WA. I have a Ford Escape and can rent a U-haul, take the ferry and pick it up if it's okay with my wife. I have never owned a 1200... I've owned GL1000, GL1100, GL1500 so I need a GL1200 lol Let me know if you still have it please TNX, Jim

I can donate a little something. I wish I had more money because I have been getting some great help from this group for almost 9 yrs now.

That would be great. I can clean it up. Do you use Zelle for money? I can Zelle you what ever it is to mail it to me. Jim Olson 1400 W. Washington St. Suite 104-344 Sequim, WA. 98382

TNX for the info... I have an 80so I'll be on the look out for the "GL" :thanks:

Holy crap! You right... Not cheap! $42? Wow But thank you, I'll think about it. I'm not really sure what happened to mine. It was there one day & gone the next.

Does anyone know where I can get a front fender emblem for my GL1100? :beg: It was just gone one day? :headscratch:

:thanks:

A lot has happened since I started this post. We sold our house in Chico, CA and are looking for a house in Sequim, WA. But I did find the problem & I was right. The friend that put my fairing on, used those cheap 3M Scotchlok crap. :evil: I will have to change all of the connections and...

TNX for the info... I went on a 200 miles ride yesterday with a new club, so I put it back together & didn't get a chance to start tracing but it did trigger a thought. I had a friend put on a fairing about 4 yrs ago & I think he only taped the wires in the old headlight. Also check for...

I don’t know if anybody has had this problem but My low beam stopped working. I used my ohm meter to check the headlight bulb & is has continuity on all contacts. So I check voltage & ground. Ground has 0 ohm, the high beam has 12 volts but the low beam only has from 8.7 volts to 10.9 volts. I...

It could be a clamp from the neutral light, because it did come on in 5th gear a few months back and maybe it was just in the wrong place for a period of time & then fell down into the bottom. Oh well... Life goes on...

Thanks for all your input. I'm not much of a worrier, so I'm good… Life goes on... Jim

I changed the oil in my 1980 GL1100 last Thursday and this little piece of nylon came out. Can anyone tell me what it might be from? I don't think it's a cable tie. Also I went on a 200 mile ride on Sunday & nothing different happen. I'm have no idea what it might be. TNX, Jim

I'm not going to complain & it's still working okay.

Quick update. I have no idea why it did but changing the oil, filter and replaced the spark plugs magically DID fix it or so it seems. I did only 2 short trips on the freeway (about 2 miles each) and some riding around town, so I'm not really sure but I was out and about for 30 min and the...
