An absolute must for 2001-2017 Gl 1800 Goldwing,
Solves the dreaded death wobble.

[@forwhomthebelltolls392]

Never had any wobble or hunting/tracking problems, but gonna replace 'em anyway.

[@narmac01]

Good job to have behind a fella!!,,Thanks for the time and effort!

[@paulkaufman4901]

I do have a question - How did your torque work out? Maxx at Traxxion claims that 21 ft lbs is the magic number and that anything over 25 will cause tracking. Are you still happy with the 28 lb setting or would you do it differently next time?

[@ransranger]

Hi Paul, I think I will set my torque settings to 21 ft lb same as Maxx at traxxion 👍👍

[@seatime674]

​@@ransrangerI hear 19 everywhere and some 21

[@mih8048]

Thank you so much very helpful ❤

[@paulkaufman4901]

Thanks for showing me that I don't have to remove the darn Shelter! That is HUGE - at least for me. Can you tell me what windshield that bike had on it?

[@Greg404]

Whats the name of the socket in 12:00 you just said the price but not the name, thanks

[@911spicer]

Great video. Some questions:
A. How long did the whole process took?
B. Would you suggest to upgrade the front suspension while you in there?
C. Is it a complex process compared to, let's say, replacing a starter (which I've done)?
I've the "itch" to do it but scared to mess up. Any advice?
Thanks.

Yikes this id depressing😢.Do ALL 01-16 need this eventually or just some?.. getting ready to buy an 08 38k miles i probably wont now...

[@rashedalnuaimi1305]

That’s great. What size of new bearings? You use ?

[@shooqalharbi8088]

🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@shane35fowler]

Its absolutely crazy to me that Companies like SKF or Timken don't market Tapered bearings for bikes.... They make them for other automotive applications.....but noooo we get All Balls.... from China

[@paulkaufman4901]

I hate to say it but, Timken is now made in china

[@LynxGenisys]

Does anyone know the diameter of that special socket? It looks like one of the front hub sockets in my diff socket set.. lol
Gona be doing my 07gl1800 trikes entire front end this spring.. rake kit, fix leaking fork seals, head bearings, maybe new/progressive springs...

[@paulkaufman4901]

Turns out that I had to remove the shelter on my bike (2008) because it is a little different and that front tab is integral to the whole shelf. Oh well, I took advantage of the shelter being off for some deep cleaning and headlight bulb replacement. Changing the high beam bulbs was a total breeze without the shelter in the way.

[@reno380]

What size pipe did you use to tap the bearing on the stem? Inch and a half?

[@TheNZSlayer]

Great video , thanks mate .

[@SteveLaughlin-x5d]

Can I take the front brakes off, and not bother the lifters

[@keemez]

what kinda windshield is that?

[@walterslade6676]

Where did you buy the socket that tightens the stem bearings and what is the name of it? Great video.

[@MohammadBusalem]

I got mine from ebay

[@forwhomthebelltolls392]

I got mine from Traxxion Dynamics. $32.95.
