- Here are the steps that I took to rebuild my 1983 GL1100I Goldwing front fork seals. I also included the 1986 GL1200 Goldwing aspencade overview. This video will apply to many other early Goldwings.

Vary easy to listen to. I just got my first WHANG I've always wanted one but the seals are shot. Thank vary Much
Awesome video... thanx you saved my butt with the abs tool idea.. made one and 30 seconds later.. done
Glad it was helpful.
I just bought a 1982 Goldwing GL1100 with 35K miles on it. I have to replace the fork seals and this video is going to help me more than any other I have seen.
Glad to hear good luck with yours.
Awesome Video!!!! You have quite the Talent for training. I appreciate how detailed you are, very easy to follow. plus the camera work was clear and not shaking. Looking forward to watching every video you put out. Thanks
your bikes a beauty. mines the same model but not as nice I have to say. I have this job to do tis week and I'm trying your method. thanks for posting it, ill follow as I go.
Good luck with yours, it looks more intimidating then it is.
This helps me with my 86 Interstate. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Glad it was helpful.
Great video Mark! I have an 84 Interstate that I'm restoring and I'm going to have to do this. Hoping to keep the forks on the bike when I do. Thanks for doing this it is helpful to see it done.
Glad it will be helpful, good luck with yours.
This is a great video, very organized, good camera angles, providing all the part numbers, and taking the time to explain all the details. Unfortunately I paused the video right before you mentioned to release the pressure in my shocks and I got a face full of old nasty fork oil 😂. Waiting for the parts in the mail now should be back on the road next weekend. Riding an '83 GL1100 standard.
LOL, sorry that was a after thought for me since I don't use air in mine. Good luck with yours.
Sir. Well done. I thought I had a gorgeous 1983 Aspencade- which I do. I thought it was the best example ever. I am wrong. Your bike is absolutely gorgeous. I have two wings- my 83 & 93 1500. For my alone time I always gravitate to my 83 named Burgy. The entire family knows of my love affair with that bike. Your example is simply amazing. Your skills in mechanical resolve are impressive. Unfortunately, I do not share your same skills. Wish you were closer- I’d love to ride with you. I’m in Indiana. Best to you. Safe riding and all the blessings life has to offer. Thx for all. Deano
Thanks Deano
You do a fantastic job of explaining everything, without all unnecessary information most RUclipsrs clutter their posts with. They should all present like you. Thanks!
Thanks Stan, hope it was helpful.
On the 1986 it's a 24 mm for the fork cap. Great video!
Great video , even have the torque specs , nice. Thank you.
That's a lot of parts in those forks, I did the ones in my cb750 and figured the ones in my dad's gl1100 would be similar. I guess not lol.
Great Video, Thx A lot
thank you!
Hello, very useful - going to be doing this on my 83 Aspencade shortly. I would like to know where you got the nice chrome radiator screen if possible - looks great.
That was a Markland product that is no longer made, it was purchased back in mid 80's.
thanks to share
Je possède un gl 1100.......................best of motorcycle , hello from Belgium.
Hi Mark. I'm in the middle of this. Two questions. The top bushing, does it get driven into place when the seal is driven into place? Also did you install the lower bolt without the brass washers? I'm wonderingnif they're need as I had to drill mine out and the washers are toast. Thanks.
That C clip gave me hell
Good video mate! Just a question, @25:39 you are installing the lower bolt and torque it. However you stop without hearing the click of the torque wrench, is it because you felt it was going to strip?
This is awesome. A couple questions : I don’t fully understand where you put the electrical tape in working with the clamp and pvc? I couldn’t really see the tape and couldn’t make out what it does.
And second, at what point do you put the fluid in and how much?
likely to avoid scratching/harming the stanchions, scratches (even tiny ones) can be the cause of oil leaks
Great vid. I just did this to a 2015 Roadking with the same shock. However the Harley shock didn't have that metal washer just under the snap ring. Is that a thin washer? I used the same gasket from Honda but I'm thinking I would like to put the metal washer under the snap ring.
Hey Len, I don't think there is a washer under the snap ring. At 11:34 I show the parts diagram, there was a thin plastic washer that was on top of the snap ring, but was not re-installed. Hope that helps.
Question. On your 83 what Tire’s do you run and air pressure please. So many opinions, but I will respect your opinion / knowledge above all others. Thank you. Deano
Deano I run Dunlap ELITE 4 120/90-18 on the front at 32 psi and ELITE 4 140/90B16 on the rear at 38 psi. I was using Dunlap D404's prior, but like the ride of the ELITE 4's.
i have an 83 aspencade with the onboard air compressor. would i not be able to use the air lines going to each fork to add the atf?
Sorry for the delay, yes you can fill through the air line.
Any suggestions on how to get the fork cap back on after filling with oil on an '84 Aspencade?
I used an impact wrench and 2 people (1 working the wrench and the other helping to compress the springs and lining up the bolt.
@@mrmarkg8564 Thank you
Nice vid. Would like to see the axle torque sequence.
It's at the very end of the video.
Do you have a video on installing the progressive springs? Do you find them better than the air shocks?
No video, I do like the springs better then the air shocks, they are not as stiff.
Mr Mark G were they easy to install?
@@maximus-power Yes, from what I remember they were easy to install.
I rebuilt my 1983 interstate front forks and the air hose broke it is no longer available from Honda any ideas on a fix or replacement
I have the progressive springs on mine which don't need air. If that line doesn't need to flex after it's installed, you might be able to fabricate one from a metal line (brake line).

how did you get the oil lock out of the bottom part
Duh, tip it upside down..............DOH. Perhaps you could re-watch the video and PAY ATTENTION.
@@anonimous2451 the video skipped over removing the oil stop and I put it upside down and tapped it with a mallet and nothing came out
You sound like bill burr a little ???
Not nearly as funny as him. Lol
Ummmmmmmmmm, sorry but you should at least post a CORRECTION. The 83 GL1100 has 39 mm tubes and the GL1200 has 41 mm tubes. Identical parts for both will not work.
Tube size for all Goldwing's starting in 1984.
GL-1200 “Goldwing” (84)
GL-1200 I “Interstate” (84-87)
GL-1200L “Ltd” (85)
Notice here the SE-i is NOT included with this size. Might wanna google that model if it applies to you.
GL-1500 “Goldwing” (88-90)
GL-1500I “Interstate” (91-96)
Great Production work though. Informative and well managed.
Thanks for the feedback, I was referring to the process of replacing the seals being basically the same between the bikes and not the parts to be used for the rebuild being the same.
@@mrmarkg8564 Gotcha. Well done video Mark.
