    Stator gone, oh what fun.

    Stator on my 78 GL1000 finally went. My 5 amp fuse for brake lights had blown and I only had a 10 amp to replace it with. Shortly after my neutral light started staying on all the time but dimmer when not actually in neutral. Shortly after that my stator went completely. Not sure if these...

    Head Gasket

    Bike is overheating and there's coolant in the head of the 3rd cylinder. I'm in Whiting Iowa. Luckily that's where I was headed for a job but it's ending in a couple of weeks and my options are limited. Can I make it the 7 hour trip to Chicago from here if I stop a lot and refill the coolant...

    Regulator Removed???

    The p.o. must have removed the regulator on my bike. How do I test to see if they installed a duel purpose regulator/rectifier? If I went ahead and installed a regulator where it's supposed to be and there is a regulator/rectifier already installed, what problems will i run into? Also, what...

    Turn Signals not right and Main Fuse Melting

    Let me start at the beginning and try to be brief... I have a 1978 Gl1000. I noticed that the right turn signal light would come on but not flash. Later that week it started happening with the left turn signal and on my way home from that ride I lost power to the bike completely. The main...

    Howdy

    Hey ya'll. Walker McTimberwolf here. Been riding and cleaning up my 78 Goldwing for the last 6 months. Easily my favorite bike so far. However, my main fuse melted last night and that problem has brought me to this wonderful forum. Thanks to everybody that contributes!
