Weather Stripping you can use for a 82 Goldwing?

Question

Looking for weather stripping I can use on an 82 Goldwing. Honda no longer makes it anymore.

Answer 1

lots of weather seal products can be had from auto suppliers like JC Whitney. you might even be able to find the stuff locally at an auto b ody or automotive glass shop. if you need something more exotic like aircraft windlace that is also fire retardant and heat resistant, then you might try Aircraft Spruce and Specialty, or if they are still in business there was a nuts and bolts supplier for aircraft restorers called Wag Aero that had a lot of sealing and gap filling products.

hope this helps.

Answer 2

I owned a 1984 GL1200 Interstate. Some things you should be aware of: This was the first of the 1200cc Gold Wings and there were a number of recalls that year. Nothing serious, but I would dealer-check it to see if the recalls were done. Also, these bikes (all of the 1200's) were prone to stator failure and in order to repair the stator, the engine must be removed from the bike and the back cover removed. Flat rate manual says about 10 hours for that, plus parts. The coupler from the stator was a plug-in job, located right next to the battery (look for three yellow wires) and they tended to corrode because of acid fumes coming out of the battery vent. This caused high impedence and contributed to the stator failures. I traded my 84 at 97,000 miles and it was not using any oil and still performed almost like new. As for Amzoil, I think I would rather have a bike that's been on Hondalube GN-4. I'm not sure there's any benefit to running anyone's synthetic oil and the Gold Wing uses a wet clutch. Amzoil may not be the best thing for the clutch facings, but I don't know that much about it. Anyway, I wouldn't give much over $1,500 for it no matter what shape it's in...K ;o)

Answer 3

What part on the bike uses weather stripping? Maybe I help locate it. Do you mean weather stripping cement? Any auto parts store.
