Awesome tips guys thanks! I checked out ebay and those are some very good deals to me. I found some aftermarket ones and they were around a couple hundreds dollars each for new. Shocking especially when you have duals up front like we do. Prefer factory when possible anyway - yay!

How much atf, and wont this make er smoke?

8 oz of ATF per 5 gallons (full tank). (Of course add the ATF before reaching the top of the tank :smilie_happy: )

The ATF does cause a little smoke on start up, but should clear pretty quick. Sometimes, if your carbs are leaking, it will smoke longer (and stink a bit). Doesn't hurt anything (unless the gas is leaking into the intakes and down into the crankcase!). While you ride with ATF, you might get a whiff of a the burn smell when you let off the throttle and get a back draft. Again, it doesn't hurt anything. What you will get is good cleaning action and better gas mileage!

oh, and yes. sign me up for the knockers club. I'm fixated and would be stoked to get this sewing machine running the way it's intended

Did you refer to your GoldWing as a "sewing machine?" :rant: :whip:

~O~

Only as I think how smooth it's capable of running. Now that you mention it though, there's not much of a comparison between running and Wing and running a Singer hahaha. Excellent point! :mrgreen:
