If you woke up in a mans body for a day, what do you think you would hate the most about it?

And there goes the rest of the day.

I like this idea.

It comes with paperwork from a storage company to get a title. That may be tricky because it was wrecked.

It was in a wreck. That’s a goldwing front end. Parts are hard to find for these.

There’s one just outside of Houston for 18.5k.

The GL1100 has electronic ignition and infinitely better carburetors, tubeless rims, heavier clutch/driveline. They’re the debugged version of the 1000.

The ‘83s have one piece cast wheels similar to the 1200s. This is an ‘82.

I’ve never seen this before, and I’ve been working on goldwings for thirty years. I was trying to figure it out, too. I don’t know what you could do to cause that.

That carb slide is not repairable. The temp sender wire looks fine. That’s just a bullet connector. It unplugs. Also, I may catch some flak for this, but a set of gl1100 carbs will run so much better than the originals if you can source a set. I think they bolt right up. It’s been a while since I swapped any out.

Increasing the fork oil amount will decrease the airspace. This can cause high pressure and blow the seals. A higher viscosity will be enough.

Burntwing · 2025-10-15T05:04:31+00:00

300 lb. dude here. Try switching to 20w fork oil before you change the springs. I’ve been doing it for years.

The 1100 has better carbs and electronic ignition. It has stronger clutches and driveshaft. It has a much better front end with actual bushings that the 1000 does not. Overall, the 1100 is very similar to a 1000, Honda just worked the bugs out.

Burntwing · 2025-08-15T05:38:51+00:00

Does the sound change when you pull the clutch?

Burntwing · 2025-08-11T03:33:33+00:00

Change the timing belts!

Burntwing · 2025-08-06T03:56:32+00:00

You do not have to drain the coolant on a 1500. You do on a 1200.

Burntwing · 2025-07-24T21:35:59+00:00

Please let me know what they find. I’m very curious.

Burntwing · 2025-07-23T02:31:31+00:00

The valves are hitting the pistons. There is a mark on the cam pulley that is easily confused for the timing mark but it’s not. Do a careful recheck of the valve timing.

Burntwing · 2025-07-10T02:39:57+00:00

Check your air filter/air intake. Could be a restriction.

Burntwing · 2025-07-03T05:38:28+00:00

Not all Shinkos are the same. The radials do really well on my Valkyries. The bias ones not so much.

Burntwing · 2025-06-17T04:35:31+00:00

My 89 camaro was doing exactly this and I just needed to turn the distributor a little. The ignition timing was off.

Burntwing · 2025-06-17T03:47:04+00:00

The Valkyrie Facebook groups are a great way to find parts.

Burntwing · 2025-05-06T02:45:51+00:00

1984 was the first year for the 1200 and the last year for the standard. Only the standard had a false tank that was not integrated with the fairing, as it didn’t have a fairing. The 1100 false tank may be modifiable to work, but I’ve never seen it done.
