[QUOTE="akolleth, post: 144672, member: 3987"] 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 is very daunting for me. I figure a little money spent now will give peace of mind later as I am on long road trips. I would greatly appreciate a critique of the things I am planning to replace/restore. Any thing I really don't need to, or more importantly anything I am forgetting? 1- Timing belts- replace FIRST 2- Fuel lines and fuel filter 3- Adjust valves, new valve gasket and new grommets for bolts 4- Oil change, new filter 5- Carb- Complete rebuild, they are trashed, new o rings for carb manifolds 6- brakes, (front and rear)- new pads, caliper rebuild- possibly new piston if bad, change brake fluid, bleed 7- battery- new 8- Coolant- flush radiator, new anti-freeze, new thermostat 9- Spark plugs- New plugs, new boots 10- Fork oil- change out 11- Final drive oil- change out 12- Exhaust - I have a Harley set I bought on Ebay for $0.99 :), new exhaust gasket rings [/QUOTE]
