I’m so glad I found your channel. Highly informative, dedicated Wing-owner. Thanks for sharing. New subscriber.
Thanks Pete.
Looking good buddy!!! Love your videos hope you do more on the big truck. I have a freightliner classic and do most of my own work and your videos sure have helped me with that!! Thanks again!!
AdMore Lighting Inc do the LED headlights fitted them to my 1989 GL1500. Keep up the great work on the channel.from the UK,

Very helpful thank you for letting us know the web.I will defiantly order the flusher and the bulbs.

Nice job Gordon!!!
Another good video, Gordon Thanks
Thanks for watching.
Is this a different headlight Lens? I feel most of the yellow and yours looks clear
Just subscribed. I heard you say you are from the St. Louis area. I just bought my 97 Goldwing and I'm looking for a mechanic to help fix issues with the bike. I am not a mechanic and really could use some help. Do you work on other people's motorcycles? Or do you have someone you could recomend? Thank you for any help you can give me.
I had to jump over to carpentry work to get a bunch of necessary work done that I waited way too long to start on, it will be at least another year or two before I can go back to mechanic work on the side. Sometimes I do a quick simple job if I know exactly what it is and I can squeeze it in on a weekend. I still drive a truck every on my day job.
Did you have any issues with your cruise control after changing to LED? Some people have experienced problems with the cruise because it uses ground from the bulb filament, so they have to install 1-ohm power resisters. For the saddlebags, I took the lighted panels (like yours), ripped out all the electrical, and simply put in new backing and LED strips. It gives a nicer, more continuous look.
My cruise is working fine. The only thing I found new is the turn signal cancel stopped working, I have to pull the switch past center almost to the other turn signal side to cancel. I don't know if it's related to the LEDs or just coincidence. I might look into that another time, it's no big deal to slide the button a little instead of just pushing it. Thanks for watching.
Gordon Robertson DIY yeah I have same problem after switching my flasher relays to the ones you got
It’s because you used a 2 wire relay. The GL1500 needs a 3 wire relay like the original…

Hi Gordon, great information.
I have a 98 Goldwing Gl1500 Aspencade and need some help locating a seller for the tail light assemblies. I have one cracked and want to replace it before it gets worse.
Just curious did you do the paint yourself or did you have it done and approximately how much did it cost you? Looking to paint my bike also!
I painted it and I did videos on that. I have a playlist on most of the work I did on this bike.
Thanks! Enjoyed watching your videos! Looks like a lot of work but it came out great!!!!
Bike looks great. What’s the next project now the bike is done?
Whatever breaks I guess. Thanks for watching.
excellent!
Thanks!
,,Awesome job Gordon!!!!
Hello Gordon beauty full jobs my Question did you know exactly how many 1157,1156, 74,194, and leds relays you needed total to do the hole bike. Thanks in advance.to get back to me.
That depends on how many custom lights are added on. The basic stock won't have as many as mine.
Gordon Robertson ok but if I do like you did, do I need 4 Flasher relays like you show when you begin your video, after small bulb beside head light witch # is that, if you have the total of ? X 1157 color, ? X 1156 color ? X 74 color, ? X 194 color,
Thanks for your precious help keep up the good work
The small bulbs on the sides of the headlight and the licence plate are 194, 2 flashers not 4. Maybe you need to take your bulbs out to count them and see which ones they are, I don't remember the exact number of them, I could watch the videos again and count them or you can do that yourself.
Gordon Robertson thanks for the details have nice weekend and have safe ride
Super
Thanks for watching.
Thank you.
Gordon, I've ordered from your link, including relays. Did you experience connecting issues with 1157 bulbs working with stock light sockets? Have to move or hold sideways while in sockets for tail light to work however brake lights work
I don't remember if I had this trouble on the bike but I do remember this happining various times on other vehicles with led lights from different suppliers.
Dommage que tu n'as pas filmé le démontages de tous les feux arrières, je cherche s'il n'y a pas une vidéo, mais je n'en trouve pas.. Mais je vois que tu as tout démonté, tout l'arrière..
I don't know French, I speak English and Spanish only.
What led bulb did you put into the lights on either side of the headlights?.
I don't remember the exact one but it is a LED replacement for a 194 original bulb. You can find a hundred choices on Amazon or at the local auto parts store.
I want these lights for mine, what a difference! Also, this video shows 5-slots, each with adjustable nut for 5-bolt windshield! Mine windshield was damaged from wiper install! I made exact pattern of bottom of windshield an made new bottom by transferring pattern to new line above square vent cutout. But I only slotted two outside mounting holes. After mounting shield with 2 outside mounting bolts, I pressed down shield to lowest position in outside bolt adjustments. Then I centered drill bit on 3- inside shield mounting bolts. Mounted all 5 bolts with stainless flat washers an large rubber washers against shield! (Reason all 5 holes are slotted is for production, all five stamped out at once! But if new bottom made stronger by just drilling out center 3 bolt holes saving time)
THAT THING IS NICE !!!!!~ I enjoyed this video thank you sire so much
Have to you remove the lights below the license plate? It is between the saddlebag lights.
which lamps stand in the headlights?
You are a gentleman and a scholar! Thank you so much, you helped me tremendously, and now you are my mentor!☺️👍
Glad to hear it helped and thanks for subbing.
Love the Goldwing videos, thankyou. Regards Steve UK 🇬🇧
Thank you Steve. Is the shifter on the right side on motorcycles over there? I know how the cars are! LOL
Now you need to put some miles on it!
Still too cold out there.
Looks gud!!
Thanks for watching.
Hi Gordon, I noticed when I installed the side-marker light flasher kit (99' GL1500 CycleMax), my cigarette lighter charger (left pocket) if sitting on the bike LED light flashes when I turn on the my hazard lights which interrupts the charging of my phone when connected via USB to the adapter. Is it because the positive (red) wire is spliced and connected the positive wire for marker LED light? Or is it the ground wire which is spliced and connected to the marker LED ground wire?
I would have to look the thing over to be sure what's going on there but I know if you have the lighter connected to the battery (with 10 amp fuse) or the spare ignition terminal in the fuse box (on any vehicle, boat, bike car truck etc.) the add-on accessories will not effect the accessory on the battery or fuse box. Good luck. Thanks for watching.
@@57bagre Do you know what the “Park Fuse” is connected to component wise? It doesn’t respond when I probe it, and even if I remove it and probe the contacts I get nothing.
@@carboncopych4616 No I don't. I'm not a bike mechanic, I was a car mechanic many years ago and I just use the theory I learned 40 plus years ago to troubleshoot any electric problems on any vehicle or machine I find myself needing to fix. I found a pfd schematic on the gl1500 electric and downloaded it free but have no idea where it is now in my hard drives, I think I found it in goldwingdocs.com or something like that. Sorry I can't look for that now, too busy.
@@57bagre I figured out, it was the ground wire. I moved it and grounded right behind the CB. Problem solved. Thanks for the engagement...Peace.
Yep, weak ground is a popular hidden cause.
