This is a step-by-step video detailing the disassembly, rebuild and assembly of the 4th Generation Honda Goldwing (Gold Wing) front forks (may be referred to as front shocks). Our bike had leaky forks and did not support the bike upon braking, the forks needed to be rebuilt or replaced. Replacing these forks can cost upwards of $1000-$2000, if you can even find any. Our rebuild cost us about 20% of that. Includes years 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2000. This video also includes information on the Anti-dive system along with: How to remove and install the handlebars, How to remove and install the front wheel, How to remove and install the brakes and calipers, How to remove and install the axle, How to remove and install the chrome ring of fire, How to remove and install the fenders.

Thanks guys. With this video I was able to install new seals, bushes, oil, and new springs to my 89' model. Again thank you ! Today there are almost no garages whom want to book in a GL, and who does, wants your kidneys and liver to do the job.

Piece of cake, nothing to it😂 Great tutorial! I've been putting off rebuilding my '97se but you went in depth to where it's not as intimidating as I thought it was.

at 42:49 in the video you mentioned - after 50 tries it finally stayed! I dab small amounts of grease in the groove to hold the o-ring in place, this works real well

Tip use little bit of grease on the o-ring to hold it in place.

Hi there. Yes you’re correct. I didn’t intentionally leave it out and just realized that it’s not in there, now that you mention it. Thank you for the comment. Ride safe.

At the 1:33:07 mark in the video you torqued the handlebar clamps on the wrong order!! Honda states that the bolts closest to the front of the vehicle must be torqued 1st! Then the rearward ones to be torqued. It has to do with the design of the clamps and the way they are manufactured (the" arrow" or "F" must face front) it leaves a larger gap to the rear and makes for a better "clamping force" . That's one of the things they teach you at the Factory Honda Training center that I attended many years ago. This may help folks from cracking those clamp tops in half!! Same thing applies to clutch and brake perches - there is a proper sequence for tightening them (bigger gap toward the bottom)

Thank you for watching and catching this detail. I was not aware of this. Sounds like the training you received for Honda was very valuable. Your comments are much appreciated. Ride safe!!
@billross7078
@billross7078 6 месяцев назад
the handlebar bolts are 8mm (actually 8x1.25) a 12mm wrench fits the head - but they really are an 8mm bolt

I am a Factory trained tech that now teaches high school students how to work on motorcycles, ATV's and Snowmobiles. Our Program is called "Outdoor Powersports" and attention to details is something I try to instill into the students as well as good work ethics, thanks for the videos, we frequent RU-vid and your videos are very helpful @@whatsbryanupto

Hello and thank you for watching and the kind comments. We were able to look up all the parts in the following site. We choose to replace any seals and bushings and probably could have replaced other items listed on the the schematics. www.cyclepartsnation.com/ Use this link, look up your year and model. Hope that helps. Ride safe!!!

Do you guys ever rebuild for someone else if we take them off and send them to you. Would love to find someone to do it as thorough as you guys do

Thanks for making this great video. I've got a 1998 GL 1500 Goldwing. Which I have to rebuild the forks on? And I was hesitating on doing it because seemed like a pretty hard job. After watching your video, I think I can handle it. I had found a guy that said he would do it for $250. Plus, I supplied the parts. That's $250. I didn't want to spend. I only paid $850 for my goldwing. This spring, what I found it. And I fixed everything that needed to be done on it myself. So like I say after watching your great video, I think I can do it now. I've just gotta get the parts ordered. And take the time to do it. I've watched all your other videos, and they've been great. Keep up the good work. I enjoy him. I'll let you know how things turn out.

We did add about 5-6 pounds of air. It took very little. I believe the manual mentioned it too. Thank you for asking and watching. Ride Safe!!

It dont cost $1k-$2k to have forks rebuilt. Maybe $500 at the most. I dont know where you take ur bike to but it dont cost near that around me. Good video though
