That way can show you that the starter works. It most likely will. But my thoughts are that you find a good wiring diagram here or on other Goldwing sites, I like goldwingdocs.com for manuals and diagrams. I know you said that wiring isn't your strong suit, but trust me, once you start to give...

Very well put Rich. I hope my post didn't ruffle anyone's feathers. Just my experience. The point is to do the research! To quote an insurance ad I have seen lately. "You can't put anything on the internet if it isn't true." There is a bunch of false or wrong info about a lot of things...

Having worked for an oil company in Pontiac, Michigan for five years before I finished college and started in the plastics industry, I learned a bit about oil. On occasion I filled fifty five gallon drums with motor oil. Out of the same 500,000 gallon tank of 10 W 40 motor oil, I would fill...

This will be my first Mother's Day without my mom. I did enjoy getting her gifts, she liked candles a lot, so I could please her pretty easy that way. If I had one more Mother's Day with her, I would write that letter mcgovern61 talked about, and give her the biggest hug and "I love you" that...

I thank you all for the warm and friendly welcome. I am glad to see that people poke a little fun on here too. I hope everyone understands that we are sharing information about a hobby, not curing a deadly disease. Although this hobby may stop me from getting a deadly disease. Anybody...

For real, I did not know they even still have dial up. Would you like me to email the pics to you AApple? I think they would eventually load there right?

After reading all the posts on this thread, I had a thought. :shock: I went for a ride after looking in my owners manual for the suggested speed for shifting, to see if when I shifted without the clutch matches the book at all. It was VERY close. Here are the suggestions from my manual...

I lived in Lansing for a few years, and have a brother in East Lansing. This is a great site, and already found some cool tips and tricks in that forum. Thanks for the welcome everybody.

Thanks Rich, that is a very good point to know. I have only had my GL1100 for 2 months, and wasn't sure if they shook a little bit or not. I have had the bike taken apart a little bit, and did a semi-inspection of the fairing. There are a few slight cracks on the fairing lower at the bottom...

Thanks Roady, and everyone else that takes their time to help us. I have a question...The previous owner had switched over to synthetic oil. I have heard it isn't good to keep switching. I want to switch back to regular oil, because I just believe it is better for the bike. Is it okay to...

Here is a pic of my mirrors that I use. I know it isn't original, but I hate when mirrors shake and vibrate while I am riding, especially at night. That last post allowed me to upload pics. I feel like I belong now.

I never liked the Hondaline mirrors. I took them off, and put mirrors in my clutch and brake handles. There was a threaded hole in each of them with a plastic plug in them. The mirrors cost $9.00 each and are black. They never change position no matter how fast I go, and I can reach them...

I appreciate this site and it's creators for letting me be a member here. I hope I can bring info that may be helpful to others.

I hit my head during the cleaning, and red Locktite came out.
