Greetings from a new member in the mid-Willamette Valley SW of Salem in "Orygun"! Recently acquired a Terraplane with a burgundy '78 G1000 Goldwing (36kmiles)...
Wlecom Airlie from Orygun! I also have a Goldwing, 1978 GL1000, stock with a Vetter Windjammer fairing with lowers and one Bates bag. Feel free to ask any...
#1 --> FWIW, the original brake setup is a whim at best. I'm planning on mounting the caliper from the rear of my tug on the Terraplane wheel. #2 -->...
Jim, There are two albums called Mike's Goldwing in the Photo section. I just uploaded som ephotos this morning. That Yamaha looks awesome. How does it pull...
Well, I THOUGHT I posted a msg last week when I put my TerraWing pix in the Photos section. I see I also fat-fingered in my orig post and said I have a...
I cant help with the other stuff, but about keeping the lid open, your retaining strap must be too short. a longer one is needed so the top goes past the open...
I know what you mean by the questionable safety of the heel & toe shifters on earlier Goldwinds. I took a test ride on a used 'Wing with that on it. THAT would...
There is a simple fix for the strap, mine did the same thing, what has happened is the strap has moved down the support it is attached do, for a while I...
A tractor would be better, but, the 1100cc inline 4 has enough off-idle torque for normal city driving.... OTOH ~ highway HP are good & plenty !!!!! ... just...
I bought a heavy canvas "tarp" from Harbor Freight. Then, layed it down (up-side-down) over the cockpit and used a stapler to mark the seamlines. after that, a...
Note: See previous posts(s) for the Q's.... Q#5 Answer: Bravo Zulu to DRDWD, yes indeed my straps had slipped. Slid them back and the lid stays up! (Black...
Hello and welcome to the madness called sidecars where your inventiveness has an outlet. Your question about a 'hubcap' begs me to ask you a question: Are you...
Yo. RobZ posted a nice pic, on an adjoining post, of the stock hubcap. Sitting @ a traffic light during Salem's (Orygun) "massive" rush hour, I noticed a...
Yes, you are right, about 4 1/4". I was thinking of the size from memory (I am old too!) and I remeber that the outside race on the bearing is 1.98", but the...
New to this forum and just acquired a TP. My brake needs some work (no I am not going to trash it!) and I had spent a little too much time trying to find the...
Welcome Carl I too am sort of a newbie but very fond of the Terraplane. I found flat tires for my 78 XS1100 at either Dennis Kirk or JC Whitney I can't...
Q#11: (Carried on frm Q#10 in a way) MikeC said previously, to wit: "Keep the Windjammer... I tried several of those clear handlebar mounted windshields..."...
Chances are you are not going to find any in the exact size you are looking for. The only one that would work on the rear is a Twin Tire. Those are sized ...
I have a 1980 GL 1100 with about all the Vetter stuff made. Windjammer3, lowers, bags, trunk and TERRAPLANE sidecar. The tires that I have are Dunlop Elite...
On the Spam: Well, I was wondering what group I had joined... "On Line" Status: No matter what, it seems everyone, including me when I am clearly on line,...
As far as I know the only sizes available as square, sidecar speciific tire sizes are 4.00X18 (Metzler block K) and 3.50X19 (Avon triple Duty II). I buy mine...
I notice that the TP front frame member has a plate on it with two (1/2") holes in it. Anybody know what these are for? I want to mount some driving or fog...
Yes, a light does fit there. Least on mine it does. Came with when i bought it. Mine is just a simple fog lamp like you say. Have never ground mine out, but...
I mounted 2 low profile fog lights in the holes and ran the wires through a relay and multi-connecter plug to the switch box on my goldwing. It really didn't...
