Hello all! I just got a 1999 GL1500, and so far, it has been great.... mostly. (I still have my GL1000, bur need to find a few parts to her back on the road.) So here is the trouble: Twice last week, within a few minutes of starting (typical easy start) she runs for a few minutes then stalls...

So I have a 79 GL1000 with Calafia side bags.... Fiber glass... So perhaps side "bags" may be the wrong term?? Anyhow, nice wide boxes... But NO LIDS. I've been keeping an eye out for replacement lids, but they seem to be rare! Last season I mainly rode my VStar 250, because of a few issues...

Well, spring is just around the corner and it is time that I start sorting out things on my 79 Goldwing... all of the things I meant to do months ago! One thing I am considering but cannot decide on. I think I need to do a carb rebuild. A local bike store said they could do it for $400. That...

Hey All, I was not sure where to post this, so I put it here. I hope that was OK. So at the beginning of the season, I was thinking of fixing my 79 GL1000 up and getting something a bit lighter. It just seemed like so much bike to handle. I was thinking of maybe a V-Star 650 or 950... But...

I need a clutch cable for my 1979 GL1000... I also need a chain and a sprocket for my VStar 250. The best deals I have found on the cable was the Motion Pro at JC Whitney and at Powersport Superstore (through Amazon.) However, I have been reading up on both places and hearing of less than...

Well, the weather has improved and I think it is about time to get working on this Goldwing. My goal is to replace the timing belts so I don't end up with a bent valve disaster, and hopefully fix her "bad attitude" at low RPM at the same time. I have to admit I am a little bit intimidated by...

When I got my 79 Goldwing the owner told me he thought the carbs needed to be synced because it would sometimes run poorly, then clear itself up and run strong. Well, today I took her on a real short ride. (Short because I am still waiting for timing belts to arrive, but I had to get it...

So, on my new/old Goldwing, the right side Calafia saddlebag is missing its lid. I checked on Ebay and there happens to be a guy selling a few of these! I wrote him to see if he has one in my size. The ones he does have listed run from $10 to something like $25, which sounds really good...

When I was at the local NAPA place, they looked up filters for my '79 Goldwing 1000, but had no listing for a fuel filter. Hmm. My guess is that they have half a dozen back there that would work fine - but since it is not in the book, I am stuck. I bought the sea foam, but I am thinking I...

I have a few questions about the Goldwings I hope to see this weekend... and with any luck, buy one of them. One is a 1984, in pretty good shape, according to the owner. One thing that I wanted to ask about and see if it should be a red flag, or just the way these bikes are. He mentioned that...

Well, I am going this weekend to look at a few Goldwings, and hopefully this will be the week I become a Goldwing owner! I bought a V-Star 250 a few years ago for the good gas milage, and found that I love riding more than I had expected. Now I want something that I can take the wife with...
