Thanks, I did some more digging and it appears that the earlier 1984 1200A used the 1100 radiators hence the larger neck and cap.

Hi all, I'm need some help, I have a 1984 Honda Goldwing 1200 Aspencade. I want to replace the Radiator cap, I ordered one online through a Honda shop and the cap I received doesn't fit, it is too small. I've doing some research and it sounds like earlier 1984 models have a different cap to...

Unfortunately both seals are leaking so not tearing into them is not an option. I figure while there off I might as well do everything for reliability and much needed improvement in ride quality. I know she is not a lean mean sports bike but she could use some help in the suspension department...

Sorry for the lack of post I've been working my ass off, on the plus more money for motorcycle trips. Ok guys I've decided to ditch the standard air shocks and go with progressive rears 4124226c there the heavy duty for two up and luggage I can get the rear shocks and progressive springs and...

Will check these wires I have some electrical cleaning up todo anyway looks like the previous owner added some dodgy wiring. I've also noticed a few wires that have either rubbed through or are getting exposed near the plug end. I have been busy at work and haven't had much time to get the parts...

Rednax let me know if you need any advice on Australia I could probably give you some pointers on that heading home at the end of the year and at this stage planning on taking the wing too!

Not that airing up is a bother but I would hate to spend money redoing shocks airlines and needed parts to have air compressor problems be it electrical or mechanical later on when most rides would honestly be suited to a single set up. Makes sense to me but saying that I have no experience with...
