First, let me introduce myself. My co-workers call me by my Nick Name "Tony", 53 Years old, work 60 Hours a week, owned many different styles Motorcycles over the years, sold my last one back in 1992, and I live in the Panhandle of Florida
Just Purchased my first Goldwing. 1992 Aspencade with 83,000 miles which means financially I am near abouts broke. (Spent $4,600.00 for the bike and another $470.00 for tags insurance and taxes).
Just ordered the Gates Timing belts and the NGK Iridiums from rock auto dot com for $96.00 When the parts arrive I will be putting the Goldwing into the Shop and having them installed. I need a simple (inexpensive) fix for the front shocks. This bike does not have any leaking seals. I do not want to buy a new set of Progressive Springs. What is the best advice on solving my problem. I want a safer, more manageable bike, but I am tapped out financially.
Also, what is your best suggestion for motorcycle oil/Oil filter,(Royal Purple?) and is there an advantage to using 93 Octane. (I always have enough money for oil changes and gas fill-ups)
Admittedly, I could do the Timing belts myself, but will trust the local shop to do the wrench work. I no longer have the time, nor the youth, to enjoy pulling everything apart. I just want to ride and be safe.
Thank you in advance for your help and advice.
