Now you can join the Steve Saunders Goldwing Forum. I too ride a Goldwing as well.

I have an 84 that I was going to fix and ride but after playing with it and taking inventory of the problems that need fixing,mainly the motor smokes like crazy but still runs fairly well I think I am going to part it out. Take a look at my ad if there is anything anyone wants. I was thinking about dropping a 1300 in the frame but dont seem to be alot around here and way to much money on ebay for something I know nothing about.Maybe later I will buy a 1300 that I can actually ride with fewer problems.Also have new set of Diaphrams I just got from Sirius and a heavy duty fork brace.

Hey MiCarl, I lived in Westland I think thats the name of the town for about 6mos.about 15 years ago. I used to work in Livonia for a company call Amsyn. Was your bike wrecked? Fortunatley I have a great Goldwing that I ride now. -
Considering buying a 1300 Venture
Craig Gulley replied to Craig Gulley's topic in Poor Man Tips and Fixes
Well the update on this post is that I found an 84 Venture Royale a couple of weeks ago for $300.00. It runs but needs almost everything rebuilt. It does have a new rear tire . I guess a that price I can spend some $$$ on it. -
I also frequent Steve Saunders Goldwing Forum and see very similar problems with both style of bikes. What I read on this Forum as far as problems I to read on the Goldwing Forum. None of them are perfect. I cant wait to get my Venture fixed so I can enjoy the best of both Honda and Yamaha Worlds. The Venture I picked up for $300.00 and everything needs repair before I will ride it. Oh it does have a new rear tire though. I do all my own wrenching so these problems don't scare me away however many there may be.

The stator problem with the earlier Goldwings is dealt with by mounting an external alternator on the bike so you dont have to pull that motor. I ride an 84 GL 1200 and like it alot. I bought an 84 Venture and have been unable to ride it as it needs pretty much everthing fixed. I do like how it sits but the Wing is comfy too. Bikes that old all have problems if they havent been meticulously maintained and most people I think just don't want to restore these great old bikes back to reliable riding condition, they just want to jump on and go. I think they are both great bikes and I would say if you are not willing to work on or have someone else do the work for you then these classics aren't for you

wheel bearing pull ?
Craig Gulley replied to 6m459's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Autozone is where I got my puller when I replaced wheel bearings on my Goldwing. It is free,all you do is leave deposit on credit card and when returned they credit it back to you -

I bought my 1984 Royale from a guy for $300.00. Needs a little work but I have a Goldwing that I ride so no hurry getting it on the road. Going to go through everything.

Sight glass repair
Craig Gulley replied to Craig Gulley's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Yeah I know, but I had one in my pocket at the time. Cleaned it off with some acetone and stuck it on.
