Hi everyone, On my 83 GL1100 Interstate....can I remove the valve covers without removing the crash bars to do a valve adjustment? Looks kinda tight to pull them out through the bars. Joe

Hey friends, does anyone have any experience with a product for preventing flat tires called Slime? It's a green liquid that is used before a tire has problems and is supposed to coat the inside of the tire to keep it from going flat should one run over a small object like a nail. Was wondering...

Really ??? Is it possible that no one out there uses that Scott's stainless steel spin on oil filter? I find that hard to believe. Was just wanting to know the good , the bad, and the ugly about it.

I have an 83 Interstate with a Randakk spin on adaptor ,( which by the way is awesome), I see that Scott's makes a stainless steel spin on oil filter (#S-4) that fits that 3/4" thread size. Has anyone used that filter on the Randakk adaptor yet and if so does it leak?

on an 83 Interstate, is it preferable to go as high as 40psi on the front and rear Michelins when I'm traveling maybe 6000 miles at highway speeds fully loaded? Tire says 40psi max at full load. Or does the front always have to be lower pressure than the rear?

has anyone used those Randakk "Progrips" .....I know they are too short for some Goldwings but was just wondering if anyone had modified them and was using them?

Just an FYI for you guys looking to carry some extra gas on those long trips. Napa #817-4085 2gallon gas can is on sale , I think nationally for like $9.00. It fits perfectly in the side hard bags on my 83 Interstate. So that's 4 extra gallons of piece of mind just in case. And it's protected...

After talking about what are the best oils to use in our GL1100's and making sure that the container doesn't say" Energy Conserving": and that it doesn't contain any friction reducers. I looked at my Mobil1 15W-40 synthetic and it has no such labels so I guess that is good. But then I checked...

Man that is a cool adaptor ! I love things that just fit well and actually do what they claim to do. Anybody know if the Napa#1348 filter holds the same amount of oil as the old drop in cartridge did? 1983 Goldwing GL1100I.

Hi again friends, Now my question turns to gadgets. I will be traveling the interstate system and wanted to ask if any of you use a cell phone with a blue tooth adapter sticking in your ear? And if so, do any of you also have a MP3 player attached to that same ear piece via some sort of...

Hey friends, Just wanted to say thanks for all the suggestions and help in days past while I was working through bike problems. I'd like some suggestions here on what weight oil to run for my August trip from Arizona to NY and back a month later. I currently use Mobil1 15W-40 with a quart of...

Is anyone aware of a company that sells these radiators new?

I'm becoming more convinced after reading many forums on the causes of antifreeze dripping from under the rad cap when it's not even hot yet. It's sounding like it might be from a bad head gasket or warped head. I just rebuilt the heads changing all the bent valves after a incorrect timing belt...

Ok....so why would the radiator neck leak after replacing the cap. With very little pressure and not even hot yet. It dribbles out under the cap. I pressure tested the radiator and it's fine and the new cap too and it's fine. Is there a special cap depth or something that I'm overlooking? Thanks

Hey everyone, Anyone have any issues with the fuel gauge and temp gauge going up at the same time? I replaced the float not too long ago do to not reading and I replaced the resistor behind the gauges too. The other day I had half a tank and it was showing about a quarter off the left...

anyone have any experience in staying overnight in city or state parks as apposed to hotels? How do cops view that,is it legal?

Is it easy to adjust the throttle to make it easier to turn?

Any one have any experience with a brand of radiator coolant called "Engine ICE coolant" ? Says it drops temps by as much as 50degrees F.

Hey friends, wanted to thank everyone who helped me solve those leaking coolant issues I had while reassembling my wing. I've got two FYI's for everyone who might run into similar issues when taking apart the coolant pipes on a 83 Goldwing GL1100. First , those two aluminum pipes use o-rings...

Hey everyone....I'm trying to put back together my 83 GL1100 after doing a valve replacement and those two aluminum pipes that go from center to each head are giving me problems sealing. They use an o-ring on each end and at the head they fit into an aluminum elbow that bolts directly to the...
