Greetings from Victoria BC Canada.

Got my first wing last fall. Drove it through the Rockies back to Vancouver island. What a pleasure.
I have been trolling online forums ever since. Mostly been on goldwingdocs, but this is a pretty great forum too, so about time I joined. Plus I love to get naked!

The PO did a pretty good job of cleaning it up for me, but have been having a few issues with the bike.
Blown head gasket, 7v regulator blown, cooling hoses hooked up wrong, rear brake sticking, blowing smoke, etc...got most stuff fixed up to a comfortable ride, but needs a few tunings still.
Been enjoying the wrenching and learning.
Thanks to everyone freely sharing such great info.

Welcome to the (best) site for help and advice. Nice looking bike with a few things to do, not sure how you can hook up the cooling hoses incorrectly but sure it's nothing to worry about. Good to have someone to sit on the back on rides out.

Welcome from Wisconsin! Very nice! And the bike looks good too!
1100's are my favorites, and blue makes 'em better! I'm curious about that fairing. Looks like the original, cut down and mounted to the triple tree? I've had thoughts of doing something similar and would love some closeup pics and feedback on how you like it.
Enjoy the ride!

Welcome to the site!

The over flow tube and the tube from the rad were switched by the PO.
Making it spew coolant through the over flow tube as it starts to warm up....that was a head scratcher. Thought it was a blown head gasket, until I was like 'this an't right'

Sure I will post a pic of the front fairing in a short bit. Yeah it is the original fairing has has been chopped.

Welcome. Lots of help here and on other forums. Have the 1100 manual in two parts - two large to send in PM. See PM.

Cheers

Welcome to the 'Wingdom.

Always nice to see another Canuck.

Here's the front fairing. I like it. I could clean up the edges from the hack job. The inherented tin foil wire hold, could use a box around it.... The front light is bouncing around, I need to put a rubber stopper on the back of the headlight to brace it.

Took a beautiful ride today!
I swear I will do my belts soon!

Welcome from balmy SW Minnesota (60 degrees today, but too much mud between the bike barn and the road to get out.)
