Would a 1981 starter fit? The 81's were notorious for burning out. I carry a spare with me ever since the California Trip push-start all the way home. Gas stations were tricky, not much room.

Bigger Honda bikes? Me Too but my 81 interstate is plain fun!

That's unfortunate. A replacement engine would do you some good.

That sounds fair.

That's yellow alright.

Thanks mate. I obtained a used one on ebay for about $125 shipped. Problem solved. I must have slightly warped the old one while changing the back tire. At high speed it would get hot and seize the back wheel. Honda is so forgiving. I always managed to get er home! It's a good feeling to have 2...

Buyer beware!

Ok, where is a good place to get a replacement rear rotor for an 81 GL1100 Goldwing Interstate?

Very good condition considering the age of OEM!

It's nice to have 2!

Sometimes you have to do what you have to do to make it work!

The covid thing is the best thing that has ever happened to anti-social people:) Happy New Year y'all.

Thanks for sharing mate. I'm hearing more of missed diagnoses lately. Our health care system is broken and $ are not the only answer. I think people will have to become better educated in medicine to make their own diagnoses.

It's starting to warm up around here but not quite warm enough to be working outside on my 81 Interstate! All the best in 22, Yahoo.

Engine parts look all the same with the 1981 Interstate model.
