    Inspection plate gasket

    Hello my 81 GL1100 is leaking a bit of oil from the inspection plate on the right side by the fuel pump. Would a high temp engine gasket maker work to seal this up? Suggestions appreciated thanks..

    Hi my 81s transmission seems overly Honda clunky. I seem to have a hard time finding neutral as well. It does have a heel/toe shifter which I have never used before. Sometimes the sifter pops out of gear if I don't hit the shifter hard.

    Clairon Stereo

    That's what I am wondering. I took off antenna and the am goes dead. However the fm isn't effected. I can still kind of hear fm but it has some static and isn't clear.

    The antenna on the back is for am radio it doesn't effect fm.
