First thoughts on my Goldwing

<< < (2/3) > >>

Bryanj:
Looks tidy, from experience would recommend some engine bars

mickwinf:
I have had a couple of rides now and like the comfort and the power, will need a new rear tyre which is a 4.50 x 17 size, not sure what brand to go for, I might join a wing forum for advice. Not sure of the long term plans for this bike, to restore or sell or keep as is and ride. For a change I have 2 bikes on the road for the summer! Oddjob, if you have any spares that would fit my model I would be interested, PM me with details. PS I still haven't got it on the stand despite looking at videos on youtube!

mickwinf:
that's worth a try as it is a bit sticky

Bryanj:
Can't do much better than the original japanese dunlop mate

It happens to us all at some time or other.
If the bike stands with the back wheel off the floor when it's on the stand.
My tip is - a small (3"x3" x 1/2") flat piece of wood, run the back wheel on to it. Then put the bike on the stand. Under the front wheel if it's the front wheel off the ground.
Remove the piece of wood. Experiment with different thicknesses of wood till you get it right and carry the wood in an outside pocket.
You won't believe the difference it makes.
