    Sir, first of all let me thank you so very much for your valuable information on Honda GOLDWING GL 1500 which I presently own, for first time. I was a Harley rider for years till I wised up and now truly enjoy my first GOLDWING. I AM NOT mechanically gifted so my mechanical skills are greatly limited, however, your videos have greatly reduced my fears. I recently purchased a Carpuride W502, and although watched several videos on installing wires, could not find one which showed me where and how to connect red wire with fuse connected, to the bike. I viewed your “ More Power! Adding an Auxiliary panel” and I believe I now know where to connect that red wire. I believe it is to the top of fuse panel, hope I am right. I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciated this as well as ALL your videos, truly, thank you sir, appreciate it so much. Hope you have a great year and I feel so much better knowing I can rely on your videos for future minor fixes. Thanks.

    Another Fine Example of quality installed work and accessories. Well done, especially that NC contact. Thanks Scott.

    Hi Scott Another use for the NC contact could be a battery mantainter .

    Great job Scott. I've got two of these in my 1500.

    Ground loops suck.
    I like the chart you have for fuse size of each circuit. I'm planning on doing that as well. I just got my Wing two weeks ago and I want to put as many simple aids in place that I can. Little charts like that are very helpful! And the terminal strips are great to have as well! I did something similar in my motorhome to prevent my battery terminals from looking like the Christmas tree light circuit on National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.
    Thanks for all your great videos, Scott! I just found your channel a day or two ago and subscribed immediately after watching some videos. I also registered on the website. Great stuff!! I'm looking forward to watching many more videos and learning all I can about my 2004 GL1800. Ride well!

    Hello Scott, thanks for another great video. I keep a spare relay and HF tools has automotive electrical stuff that is inexpensive. Have a great day!

    My question is where does that blue wire hook into exactly? Does Honda provide an easy hookup for ignition power so we can run the relay without splicing into wires? Thx, Joe

    • @GoldwingDocs

      There is an "ACC" terminal at the top of the fuse box that provides switched power.

    Thank you Scott for the video ! I have a few wires tapped into the main fuse panel on the other side ! Now I know the proper way ! Do you have a video on how you wired your trailer ! Another question ? Did you have a fuse somewhere on the blue wire going to the relay ?

    Great video Scott
    Very helpful.
    Any info/opinions on pdm60 by Rowe electronics. I purchased one for my previous but never fitted it and would like to fit it to my Goldwing to tidy up previous owners accessories wiring.
    Any thoughts appreciated 👍

    Please add the translation to Arabic in your videos that you show we are your followers from the Emirates and we find it difficult to understand the interpretation of the translation and thank you for all the useful explanations you provide

    Very technical kind of confusing to me. I have 2001 GL1800 and would like to do something similar so I don’t have everything connected to the battery directly. What kind of reference would you give me for this?

    Do you have a recommendation for the relay that you replaced in the fuse block?

    • @GoldwingDocs
      @GoldwingDocs  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Any quality 30-40 amp Bosch style automotive relay will work: amzn.to/3XaxKN2

    Hi Scott where did you buy the replacement relay?

    • @GoldwingDocs
      @GoldwingDocs  ปีที่แล้ว

      It's a standard automotive relay, you can get them almost anywhere - just get a name brand one if you can.

    Scott, is that mounting plate for the panel only held in place by the battery strap?

    I’m Trying to restore my 1996 gl1500. the previous owner obviously didnt watch your vid and ain’t apart of the goldwingdoc form. The wiring job is a mess, panels were super glued together and she’s got stickers all over her. Found that they are shipping the taxi tire to the us again. Any recommendations on progressive springs front….and rear. And any brake pad and rotor recommendations.
    Love your vids would be lost without goldwing docs last question will you ever upgrade to an 1800.

      I don't know...I really love the 1500, and my long legs get sore when crammed onto a GL1800.
