Re: Customising my first Goldwing
Should work. But any auto parts store here in the states has them on the shelf/rack.

Re: Customising my first Goldwing
Does anyone know of front forks that are the same as GL1100 ones but from a different bike?

Re: Customising my first Goldwing
I believe the 81-82 CB900F Supersport are close enough.No anti-dive though.

Re: Customising my first Goldwing
Excellent, so my front spindle and wheel will just slot in if these forks are in my yokes?

Re: Customising my first Goldwing
yes but you will need 82 brake brackets for your calipers I think.

Re: Customising my first Goldwing
Not sure if they are available in the U.K. (suspect that they should be) but the Shinko 230's have been well reviewed by many Goldwing owners. I had them on my first GL1000, and will be putting them on my current ride this spring.
This tire is very economically priced as well - likely more in line with the Maxxis tire your showed.

Re: Customising my first Goldwing
Iv been reading a lot about the bearing retainer, but I couldnt see it on my bike. Were they not used on the Interstate in 83?

Re: Customising my first Goldwing
I just started build my naked wing. Already got it stripped. Now comes the difficult stuff. My bike is an 86 aspencade 1200. What I'm stuck on is the ecu. What wires can be rid of and what are my mounting options. Also I have to figure out a tachometer and speedo. Any help is greatly appreciated thanks.

I'd recommend starting a separate thread. You'll have some design challenges with the 1200.GENERALWON wrote:I just started build my naked wing. Already got it stripped. Now comes the difficult stuff.
