yummycheese posted:i hope that little extra module with the knobs on it is for some echo and reverb on the audio for the CB so we can do peak trucker radio while on the oldwing If you mean the one with the green and blue lights I believe that's both the intercom and audio controls since it matches the panel below it, where the stereo is on a Goldwing. Lol I typed the word "stereo" in 2022. I believe this is off a GL1500. e: nope it's a 86 GL1200 he just wants too much for it. 6 disc CD!!  https://www.facebook.com/marketplac...35-9f931ee15cee Gorson fucked around with this message at 12:58 on Apr 18, 2022 |

gileadexile posted:Also, just cause I think it's neat. Here's dad holding me with his Honda CB 350 4. Because literal dadbike! Nice! The CB350/4 has become so rare as to be practically nonexistent. I don't even see 350/2's for sale anymore....cafe craze ate them all up. Honda V4 is fantastic in either the chain driven or gear driven versions, but having that 30 year old rack of four carbs means you'll want to know what you're getting into. Any carb rack that has not been completely rebuilt including the between-carb o rings will leak like a sieve at some point and you'll wind up chasing leaks instead of riding. You'll become hyper sensitive to the smell of fuel. It's the reason why Honda V4 bikes are usually cheap, nobody wants to work on them so nobody has worked on them. That's for the next owner! Sweet spot is the 98-01 VFR800 which has both reliable FI and gear driven cams. IIRC it's the only Honda V4 with this combo.

GL1200 has a six digit odo so it's probably correct. Fun fact about the GL1000 and 1100: only a 5 digit odo. Does the bike have 20k miles, 120k miles, 220k miles? Who knows.

Dad-geneering: The coils and wires on both goldwings are nearly 40 years old and need replacement. For the most part coils are coils, a local wrecker had some coils from a Dodge Neon for $10. I made some plug wires, one of them is gray because apparently 5 feet on the internet is a different measurement than 5 feet in the real world. I used to just be able to walk into the auto parts store and buy plug wire by the foot. The (Neon) connector for these coils is available but I sunk the wires (oem color correct) in resin and terminated the other end with the same connector Honda uses and sheathed the wires:  Welded some brackets from scrap steel and mounted in the same location:  Works as expected. This bike is becoming nothing more than a rolling parts shelf, ready to sacrifice itself when the need arrives. It runs and rides, but the carbs are in desperate need of full teardown and the bike isn't really worth that investment considering I paid $450 for it.

Same here, packed up 3 laptops for clients on the trip out, stopped at the grocery store on the way back. Starting to look at GL1500's for more storage and comfort.

Golf swings, AI just gets better by the day. Currently looking through GL1500 listings and it would take me a year to look at all the pristine examples under $4k in person. The prices on them are tanking, nobody is buying anything more than $3k. super brief GL1500 buyer's guide: made them for 13 years without many changes. Interstate is the "stripper" model without reverse Bikes equipped with floorboards and heel/toe shifters can develop a 4th gear popout. I bet this applies to the GL1100/1200 too, though I can't find any evidence of it. Belts, belts, belts (applies to all Goldwings). Phy posted:DADBIKE- Post your golf swings

Jim Silly-Balls posted:I’d say 7/10 messages I get about my 1200 ask about the belts. If the average joe knows about them, that’s pretty impressive It gets hammered on in every buyer's guide. I have no idea if or when the belts on mine have been done, even though both PO's claimed to have done it recently. In my case if I blow up a GL1100 motor I won't shed too many tears, but I doubt I'd be able to sell either of them if the belts aren't fresh. And yeah if I get a GL1500 I really don't have room for 3 of these pigs.

Jim Silly-Balls posted:I'll just tell you, I had it listed at $1300, which I thought was optimistic, but I knew people would try to haggle me down on price anyway. I had a lot of interest, mostly people throwing me $700 offers all day long, and the usual string of people saying they'll show and then ghosting me. That's fair considering the market. You could have priced it higher and it would still be listed 6 months from now. He's right about most of these listings being clapped out poo poo traps, people are definitely wallpapering over some of the issues with these bikes just to get them sold. No surprise there, but when the market is this flooded that's what you'll get. I think I would be lucky to get $1500 for it. Not bad, considering I paid $700 and put $500 into it.

They're just so gently caress ugly, the huge motor makes the front wheel look tiny, which it is (16" probably because that what was available in large quantities in the late 80's, the last time an "engineer" put a pencil to this design). One of the rare bikes that would look better with a big stupid oversized wheel on the front. Being an american boomermobile also inevitably leads to poo poo like this:

Jim Silly-Balls posted:Holy poo poo, I did the air filter on the goldwing tonight. It may as well be an engine-out procedure. I had a similar experience with a tail tidy on a newer CBR300, the whole tail had to come apart like a 3d jigsaw puzzle. On the GL1100 the air filter is just under the tank "hatch", lift up the handy little plastic storage tray and the filter comes off with a 10mm nut.
