Well after a long summer of trying everything I could to restore my 77 GL1000, I am throwing in the towel. :( Turns out the compression was not good (less than 100 each side). So I am selling the bike locally for parts, but I have a few of the upgrades I was installed to try and revive the...

I bought a neat aftermarket turn signal set from Ebay a couple of weeks ago. It came today and I really like it, except for the fact it has 3 wires, and my Gl1000 only has 2. I made sure when I bought it that the picture showed 2 wires, but its from China so its not worth trying to return...

What I am wondering is if take this style of manifold I wonder if the square single barrel side of this style of adapter would fit diagonally and allow us to use a Weber carb with the above style of manifold

I am very confused right now. I bought a Dyna S unit complete with coils to solve the ignition issue I was having on my 77 Goldwing. Problem I am having is with the power supply line that feeds the coils (black with white stripe) Background. On the original wiring harness there is the...

I am installing a Dyna S to my 77 Goldwing and find myself in need of a 3 way. I am pretty new to rebuilding a bike so have rather limited knowledge. I have seen the y type 3 way like seen here https://www.amazon.com/JT-Products-2187H-Insulated-Connector/dp/B002UZUL0C But I am not sure what...

So- I have a 77 Goldwing with the points system. In my quest to find the cause of the ignition issues I replaced both points with new ones, spark plug caps, condenser, and spark plugs. Well I finally figured out thanks to the helpful guys on this board that my coils have gone out and I am at...

Well its been a long frustrating battle now with this bike going single carb. I had to ditch my original carb (motorcraft 5740) because itg started hemorrhaging gas through parts that never should have gas anywhere near them. didn't want to track down the problem becasue frankly I was sick of...

So I am almost ready to pull the pin on this grenade for the first time with my weber single carb setup. But I am second guessing myself about the gaskets. I tried using my extensive google-fu but like many things it seems there are several camps, each of which is absolutely sure its the...

Alright I pretty much have the plan created for what goes where, what gets plugged and whatnot on my Weber 5740 (AKA 32dft) But I ran in to one thing I can't figure out. So in this picture there is a larger nipple on the middle right side. Its below the fuel inlet. I can't figure out what it...

Stared up on my single carb project this week. I have spent an ungodly amount of time reading almost every thread I could on the conversion. Then spent a bunch more time acquiring parts and pieces (so many more than I thought I would need). My specs- as it were. Note these are all the...

Well I finally got my first bike, a naked 77 Goldwing. As the plan is for me to use it on some long road trips (maybe up to a month at a time) I am looking to make it pretty roadworthy by rebuilding a portion of the easier to do parts. I am no stranger to a wrench by any means, so nothing here...

Just checking in as a new member. I recently at the ripe old age of 40 decided to indulge my lifetime desire to become a rider. So last month I took the Basic Rider Course. It was a blast and cemented the idea that riding is just so much damn fun. Could not believe how much fun it would be...
