Looking for a seat cover for my 83 interstate. https://www.ebay.com/itm/GL1100i-Seat-Co ... 1b&vxp=mtr This seller lists the 82 and 83 interstate seat as the same. My understanding is that although the pan is the same for both the foam on the passenger section is a different shape (83...

The tire is a stock size Elite 2 on the back with 42psi in it. Two up with maybe another 20 lbs of gear. First chance at some real twisties but two up and keeping a safety margin, not dragging pegs. I didn't feel anything odd other than a slight wallow/hinge in the middle feeling at _my_...

I love the sound of a flat four without the collector to smoothen things out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34cLsoKOkrk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sr4GOnUP ... re=related https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9LvFDbn ... re=related https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0eSbb4_iHc I wouldn't...

Has anyone tried running the exhaust valve lash the same as the intake, similar to the 1000 spec? Why did Honda change the exhaust valve clearance on the 1100?. It is my understanding that clearances actually increase from cold due to the aluminum head expanding at a greater rate than the valve...

I have a standard windshield that I cut down 1.5" to be able to see over and it works well for me. My wife complains about buffeting and finds wind management worse than on a naked bike for her. I also get a fair amount of buffeting during strong side winds. We are going on a few extensive road...

So riding season is over for me. This was my first year with the wing and it's proven itself to be capable and reliable. Most of my riding was in town and day trips but next year we will extend our range into over nighters and probably a couple of longer road trips. The bike is ready but I have...

I haven't had my carbs off yet and am trying to get a grip on the choke operation. I stole this picture of the web. Can you tell me if I've got something wrong, and what item 4 is? 1 - Bellcrank 2 - Main butterfly shafts 3 - Choke butterfly shafts 4 - ????? Thanks.

Just looking for some feedback on my understanding of the charging/electrical system of the 1100. When I bought my bike I was concerned about the stator as it seems to be the weak link in a most durable bike. Some thoughts. Our bikes have permanent magnet generator systems. This...

Well, I finally plated my new to me first Goldwing that I purchased in February and like Jcol I'll give my impressions after a weekend of riding solo and two up. First the bad. I am surprised at the lack of bottom end torque from the bike. My last bike was a GSXR1100 and it had...

On my 83 Interstate is it possible to adjust the relationship between the chokes engine speed setting and the mixture? I'd like to set it to idle at 2000-2500 rpm when cold but right now I can't. It seems to jump to 3000-4000 on full choke and wants to stall when I try to pull a little choke...

I've noticed that often parts dropped in and around the gauge cluster area seem to jump into another dimension. Last night I was trying a different bulb in my temp/fuel gauge when I fumbled and let the machine screw drop. It sounds just like a game of Plinko but the screw didn't come out :head...

I'm going to do my steering stem bearings but I don't see an easy way to remove the instrument cluster on my 83 Interstate. Is there a way to remove the whole pod as an assembly? Thanks Jorg

I have a history with old Triumphs and as a result kind of like the look of the aftermarket tank racks. Are there any downsides to these? It would match my saddlebag racks. I think my old magnetic tank bag could be modified to mount right on it and I could still fill the gas. Opinions? Jorg

Hello, I think I'm chasing a ground problem on my 83 Interstate. I puchased nice high power LED's for the brakes and signals. These are actually nice and bright and work great on a test bench. They won't work properly in the sockets. The brake lights work but the running lights don't...

Hello, On the 83 wiring diagram it shows 3 fuses with unused spare connectors near the headlight. Anyone know where these are located? Thanks Jorg

Ok, New to me 83 Interstate with 48k km (30k mi.) and no service records. Done to date. - Flush brake systems. - Change oil - Change antifreeze - Change fork oil - Change shock oil - New air filter - Lube clutch cable - Eliminate stator plug - Change out 55w driving light...

Hello, Just drained the oil out of my 83 Intestate shocks as best as I could butwhen filling with the recommended amount (10.5oz, 365ml) through the air hole the shock is now full, and I mean full to the rim, when sitting on the centre stand. This doesn't seem right to me. I'm guessing that I...

Hello, My name is Jorg and I'm a new owner. I got into bikes in college around 78. I started with a basket case 71 bonneville which I rebuilt into stock, then drag bike, then clubman racer. Around the same time bought a 750-H2 which I built into a cafe racer. Got into dirt bikes and...
