Hello!
I'm new to this forum, and I own a '75 GL1000. I picked it up in May. I am the 3rd owner, and after fixing a few things, she's up and running.
The bike came with air assist on the front and air on the rear. I was wanting to know just how to tell who made the rear setup, and how to tell what year the forks came from since I have read the air was optional on the '78. I was also wondering what air pressure I should be using.
I need to begin taking my daughter to school, and with the weight of me 210, her, 110 and her 20 pound back pack, I noticed that we are creeping up on the load limit of 360. I have seen doubles that weigh about 400 total riding and was wondering how come they can exceed the load limit? Was the limit imposed based on the weak OEM suspension?
