    stay with OEM. and they last much much longer than the manuals changeout mileage unless you ride on dirt roads and construction sites all of the time

    Options on timing belt tensioners?

    GL1500 and Valkyrie tensioners are the same as the GL1200 ones.

    Towing a GL1500 Front wheel cradle

    with goldwings even though it will be in neutral, part of the transmission is still rotating without oil flow/splash from the engine oil pumps. so it will wipe out those gears.

    just did a dyno run on a factory-pro dyno. with my mods and exhaust, and she is too rich on the top end, 106HP and 116 Ftlbs. for a dynojet dyno add 10hp to that number. once I rejet should see an 8-10HP increase. don't know how to post pics on this site so all can see the chart.

    that is completely untrue, a flat-six is much smoother and in perfect balance than a flat four. documented fact as also a four is better than a flat two. GW GL1500 cam has zero overlap for low pulling power. only one camshaft was ever avail. Valkyrie redlines 62-6500 rpm approx 1000 more than...

    Thanks for update. The Valkyrie coils are located in completely different locations than the GL1500 Goldwing. One is installed horizontal above the left carb bank under the fuel tank attached to the frame. the other two are installed behind the left upper engine mount under the tank. If your...

    my plan for this yr is base line run with my airbox/carb jetting and viking exhaust, then install 49 state camshafts. dyno. while having a set of heads ported and flow benched, install, dyno. then install your system, dyno again. the outside exhaust ports of each head are very restrictive, one...

    not necessarily. The ohm rating of the coils must match what the different ICMs of both bikes want. too low an ohm rating and the ICM will burn out. The CBR1100XX Blackbird coils are slightly less ohms, will provide a little hotter/faster spark and will work with a OEM valkyrie ICM. But won't...
