    Gizmos & Other Items

    (Original post restored) I posted this on another Goldwing Forum. I ordered three Accu-pressure Caps for my GL 1100A with sidecar. Three at $4.99 each, plus shipping $2.97, total $17.94. They indicate a four pound drop in pressure, so I ordered ones two pounds above my tire pressures. So far...

    GL 1100 Electrical Load

    My take: The stator, on a GL 1100, output is 300 watts at 5000 rpm. My belief is that Honda didn't realize until along about the time they designed the GL 1500 that anyone would be adding a lot of electrical drain on the GL 1000 and 1100. "Why would they sell add on lighting?" If people will...
