    The most random/crazy thing happened to me this past week. I had a meeting with a potential client and he mentioned if I knew anyone that was looking for a bike. At the time I thought he was talking about a bicycle so I replied not really... He walks over to this 1981 Honda GL500 and begins to...

    Hi, I'm trying to replace my air suspension for something a little easier to maintain and I saw online somewhere that a Suzuki Boulevard c50/m50 rear shock would fit in place of my air monoshock.

I'd read the battery as I was starting it and it dropped from 11.67 V to 6.5, and when I tried shorting...

    I've decided to rebuild my brakes since the rear works better than the front. I have found a few kits, K&L 32-1153 with 32-1176 pistons, All Balls 18-3164 kit, and the brake crafters kit 1981-1982 Honda GL500 Silverwing-Front Brake Caliper Seal & Stainless - Brakecrafters . With so many price...

I recently "completed" my first rebuild and It was running fantastic! ... for about 4 days, until I bottomed out my suspension because I forgot to double check the PSI in the rear air shock.

Have a new handlebar otw that hopefully won't interfere with the tank and once I clean up the front lights I'm gonna make the leap to chopping the rear end.

    Does anyone know of a source for a GL500 rear seat cowl? Separate cowl or the rear seat/cowl together is fine. I've looked on eBay and so many there are missing the cowl. Those with them are really pricey with shipping so I'm hoping to find just the cowl.
