*NEWS FLASH* C5 Performance is back in the Goldwing game! As some may already know, we ran out of the Gen 4 Goldwing kits recently. Since the new CDL2 ignition fits inside the stock GL1000 points housing we've decided to shake things up a bit and save everyone some money. The new Gen 5...

I just missed a 1994 Goldwing on auction the other day. It sat at $800 for over a week, and of course I decided that was too cheap to pass up. The bike was already mine (in my head) and I started thinking of all the trips I could take with it. BUT...other bidders thought otherwise. The bike...

I'm headed to Sigourney Iowa Friday evening for a National antique tractor pull. My dads coming along and we'll have a vendor booth for our ignitions on Saturday and Sunday. If anyone lives nearby and wants to stop and visit, I will have our new coils on display. I could bring our GL1500...

I have been toying with MAP sensors lately and wanted to share it here. As many of you know, we can change timing maps on the C5 ignition while riding. Most people use toggle switches, a small rotary selector switch, or a VOES (vacuum operated) switch to accomplish timing changes. While...

With all the time spent designing the C5 Performance GL1000-1100-1200 kit, and with the untimely passing of Louie my Goldwing mentor, the GL1500 ignition project came to a grinding stop this year. I can happily announce the emails lately begging for me to finish the 1500cc kit have inspired me...

The other day we were test pulling a Yamaha Seca turbo powered mini tractor. This was one of the guys we compete against. We are in Wisconsin in case that matters. It's got two GL1200 engines. The rear engine uses stock ignition and connects to the driveshaft via a chain. The front engine...

My great friend and co-designer of our new C5 ignition kit is in critical condition tonight. Louis had been sick the past few days and was getting worse. They thought he just had the flu but ended up his stomach had burst and emergency surgery was needed. I spoke with his wife Ila and she...

Does anyone have experience using them, especially the "multi spark" version? I'm looking for real world experiences and feedback from actual users.

My friend needs a headlight assembly (complete), handlebar switches, and the logo that attaches to the triple tree. His email is [email protected] Thanks in advance if anyone can help him.

I am proud to announce our newest ignition on ClassicGoldwings. This new kit fits more models than ever before. With help and support from this forum and its members, we have made a commitment to support the Goldwing community long term. The lack of OEM replacement parts for the GL1100-1500...

Has anyone heard of how the name came to be? I am familiar with the design of the first, and the original "muscle bike" intentions. Goldwing and Silverwing are still used today, and I've often wondered how the name (and logo) might have been chosen.

I was contacted by a woman who lost her husband to cancer. Before he passed away he stashed his "1967 Goldwing" in a barn up north. Since I figured it was actually a '76 model, I agreed to visit her and provide information so she could sell it. My wife and I drove up to Lakewood Wisconsin and...

If you are visiting the AHRMA vintage races and the Rockerbox Festival this weekend stop and say hello. We'll have a pile of ignitions for all types of bikes and cars, plus exhaust parts, electrical supplies, used cycle parts, and one or two new projects to unveil. Look for the grey C5...

Thank you Dan for providing a spot for us to sit by the campfire. My name is Paul Crowe and I own C5 Performance Inc in Wisconsin. For those of you not familiar with our company, we created the C5 ignition for GL1000 and GL1100 engines this past year. We use PowerArc dual optical triggered...

Hello everyone. We've been working hard on many projects and meeting people from all over the world. One thing is clear...people are searching for great deals for their winter projects. With this in mind, I am offering a holiday offer to the Classic Goldwing members. Order any GL1000 or GL1100...

I know Hooch has a 1200cc engine stuffed into a GL1000 cycle and gearing is lower (more power, less top speed) Can a 1200 rear end be installed on a GL1000 cycle to attempt mileage increases with the C5 ignition? I have no idea what needs to be done for swapping rear diffs. I am installing a...

I would like to personally thank everyone who has supported us over the past year. We started small, remain small, and promise to continue working to improve the riding experience for Goldwing owners (and many others). Your kindness and feedback has been wonderful as we strive to grow in a tough...

This is not Goldwing related but hey, its got a boxer engine, right? We used my friends VW powered race buggy for testing. The weather was about 60 degrees and windy but not a bad "work" day otherwise. This is a slightly modified 1600cc engine. Compression is 12.5 to 1, using both 110...

So GLWrench and I were fixing a really bad carb leak today. We pulled the carbs, cleaned them off, and gave it a nice baby powder treatment. We found BOTH carb bowls leaked at the mating surface o-ring. After replacing them and checking for leaks again we found the problem fixed. Our question...

:hi: I have asked Dan for permission to offer our C5 shirts for sale via the forum. We just bought English and Norwegian shirts that are a fun way to start conversation. My offer to the forum is this: I will donate $4 to the forum for every shirt we sell to forum members. After months of...
