Yep, we did it. We moved to Denver CO last week. I rode the wife's bike down and it was awesome, for a 650 that bike sure travels well. Its the one with the soft bags in the picture on my header. Anyway, safe and sound and getting life together in the new place. Gotta run, just wanted to...

Well, we are living on half of our usual income as I live at home to take care of one of my kids with what I will call health issues that require regular supervision for an unspecified amount of time. Not up for discussion, but it just needs to be done. Sadly, we received our predicted fuel...

I do not remember but I need to check, when you give throttle to my carb, right at the point where the secondary kicks in, the primary slams shut and then re-opens in sync with the secondary. Shouldn't the primary stay open and the secondary is to open independently with the primary staying in...

Okay, I give up. How do I remove the base of the air filter screw from the carb? It blocks the jets. I have the top pulled off before, and never tried it from the top side, and now this is in the way. I am going to pull the top again cause I have to check the float level, I was just...

Gonna be getting to the jetting, and I need to know where i can access jets? I have the numbers from tuning done by 81 Wing (I think) with some mathematical adjustments and recommendations from Joe and others, and I cant seem to find a source for jets. I will explain that I have been hit with...

Suffice it to say, Bertha has electrical issue at the moment. Well, I had 2 days of relatively calm riding on it.... So the gauge has been doing the spinal tap tour ever since I brought her back to life. Today in the heat the numbers really went down, by the time I was in town, the were down...

I don't know if many of you know of the site or the man that runs it, but I have been a member of another forum that was initially started as a source for information on Hyosung and many other smaller brands that do not have the best technical support, and slowly morphed over to a site that...

Just checking on something. Is the fuel line supposed to be 1/4 inch or 3/16 inch?

To all my fellow Americans and fellow veterans out there, Have a Happy Fourth of July! And a belated Happy Canada Day for our neighbors to the immediate north. Lets all stay safe out there, the cager idiots are out in force. This way we can all talk about the good times had. Laters!

Could use a new winscreen, mine is cracking around the vents. Want to shorten the shield. I want the top of the shield to be 2 inches below the eye line. I want to darken some of it to accent the new paint. Who has screens, are they available in custom heights, or how can they be cut if they...

Well, Stovebold carb, and spacer and a filter assembly are on the way from stovebolt. Just ordered the jbug type 4 plenum. I have a lot of services to do over the next 3 to 4 days, so I am putting this to bed during shipping. I left the bad manifold off, and the EMPI experiment is no longer...

Accessory that I am not using are for sale. I have decided to following the light faired approach, and I am pursuing a more street glide based approach to my baggage needs. SOOO. For sale 1 Vetter Angular Based Rear Bage Set with Mounts and tall sisy bar style passenger pad. ABS Black with...

Hey guys with the recent events, can you guys tell me where I can get a stovebolt carb? I have to go get the bike moved and start the prep work tonight, and I have to go over to my friends early tomorrow to get going on the block swap. Where can I get the Stovebolt carb? And would any of you...

Before I started tearing the block up and ripping things apart, I asked a buddy (mech mentor) if he could come out and make sure I am right on this motor, turns out that I am, BUT... He has a matching 79 long block that he has had on the shelf for the last five or six years he had forgotten...

With the recent issues with my 79 GL1000, I have decided to part it out and sell it to others that may need repair or restoration parts. All items on the bike are for sale at this point. I have sold the front tire (still have the comstar rim) and I have someone interested in the front fork...

Have all sorts of goodies to trade for it including Vetter side and top boxes, and assorted chrome trim? Looking for a straight stock seat, not a couch. Figured it cant hurt to ask. krakum1967

So I purchased a kit from eBay to put a single EMPI (Solex Clone) 34 Pict 3 Carb on the GL1000 I recently purchased. The original carbs were the victim of a rebuild by Edward Scissors hands with his dremel and hammer attachments. Costs for the kit were half of professional rebuilds with...

Not sure if I want to go down this road, but what type of modifications can be done to the stock exhaust to give the ol girl some grrr? I am also just slightly rich on the mixture and wanted to free up rather than rejet. Its a 79 GL1000. Exhaust is stock and pristine, now you see why I may not...

Hello, New guy here from Jamestown, ND. I purchased a 1979 GL1000 Goldwing a few weeks back and have been bringing it back to life. I have owned scores of assorted bikes ranging from Harley to Hyosung. I run a small repair shop where I perform services and tire changes on MCs. Love the...
