yeah its really not too difficult of a job, as long as you stay clean and organized it should go smooth as you saw in the video. the hardest part is getting to the point where you can actually remove the shocks from the bike. these goldwings aren't exactly naked bikes lol. thanks for watching and good luck with your repair.
@ 3:25...There it goes....BOOOOIIINNNNNGGGGGGGG!!!!!....HAAAAAAAAAA!!!...You are awesome bro...This just makes me realize that it is wayyyy over my head!!
Thank you for the video I was wondering where you get the replacement parts and I mean the seal interior seal in the bushes from Mountain the shop please help
i got the parts off of adept powersports.com, the part number for the oil seals is 91257-MG9-671, the number for the bushings on top is 52484-292-000, and the number for the bushing on the bottom is 52489-461-771. I used just regular old ATF, nothing special

@@jamhandygarage380 Thanks for the info. Great help. Another question on filling with oil. Based on your experience, would it be possible to fill the rod assembly with oil, before assembly with the new seal? Thought it might save time and since that is where the oil goes anyway.
Am thinking whould not be better put shock upside down fill first before putiing new seal back in and using damper oil insteed same as fork oil or is that atf fluid which is car automatic fulid .
@@keithbenson9968 oh ok ....ill check the dealership. Thanks didnt know thw dealership carried the kit Great video. Mine are in working order ....just old and boot is worn too ....im holding them up with a tight wrap .....
no i did not fill them right to the top, I filled them with a craft syringe to the level specified in the service manual, around 260cc if i remember correctly

i don't see why you couldn't add the oil like that, it would probably be faster than the way i did it which was one low volume syringe at a time. i would imagine you might have to plug the hole at the top of the shock to prevent the loss of any fluid as you fill and handle the shock before it goes back on the bike. worth a shot i think. as far as the fluid, the reason atf was used is because the literature i have, the haynes manual, and most online sources say that atf is the correct fluid to be used. damper oil/fork oil would probably work just as well, it may be a bit thicker than atf but i dont think it would cause any harm. but again i used atf because thats what the book said.
Great video and thanks for the step-by-step on rebuilding the shock. I was just going to put on progressives. you made it look so easy

hey man you got it! everyone starts somewhere
Yer bro, good idea putting petroleum grease on bushing .that will destroy it in time. Should have been silicon grease
Hey much appreciated video!!

i personally got my parts off adeptpowersports.com just because they had the oem parts for the lowest price i could find
where did you got the parts?? or can you write the number parts, also any atf or should it be something specific?, Thank you for the tutorial

Got any more videos on this?
Good job and how did you put the oil in the shock absorber ?
I used a small plastic syringe to slowly add the atf into the air hole at the top. It is a tedious process but you get there in the end
would use some dish soap rather than grease for the bushings. Grease/oil may attack the rubber.
did not consider that but good to know, thanks for the tip!
Do you have the part numbers for the seal and bushings you used? Have 85 Limited needs shock rebuild.

anything else you recorded about working on the honda?
Can never have too many instruction video's :)
more coming soon!
Where can i order the shock kit ? Great video.
Hey Edgardo, I bought mine at the Honda dealer. The only part you need is an oil/air seal for each side. I also bought new "boots" as mine were torn.

Also, did you fill shocks right to the top with ATF?
no i did not fill them right to the top, I filled them with a craft syringe to the level specified in the service manual, around 260cc if i remember correctly
could you send me the number for the rebuild and the grommets
would be excellent to see a list of parts and numbers
