I would think you'd be able to get the ride height by putting the side stand down, lay a yard stick (approx width of my posterior), then straddle the front tire and straighten it upright holding on to the fairing; as you hold it straight have a buddy measure distance from the ground/cement to the bottom of the yard stick. You could put a carpenters' level on the stick so you could see the "bubble" and know when it is straight.
(I'm still wondering why you need the measurement though )
i was asked lately if i had a lowering kit on the bike it seems lower then others, it rides fine always 2 up seems ok just curious i am changing out the rear spring this winter to a progressive
Well, Wiki indicated the GL1500 had (99 bhp) but the Honda Certificate of Origin indicates (96 bhp).
I would trust Honda to know the correct number.......!
The first new model for 13 years, the 2001 GL1800 had a larger 1,832 cc (111.8 cu in) engine with fuel injection, and a power increase from 74 kW (99 bhp) to 87 kW (117 bhp).
My guess is that measurement would be with the rear shock set at 0. With it set at 25, it would be a little higher.
