I thought the only 1500's that didn't have reverse were the Interstates, which were made between 1991-1996? That's what the GoldWinghistory on this site says as well.just besure it has reverse. some 88s did not.
In 88 and 89 there only was one model, the GL1500 with no letter designation, and they had reverse. In '90 they added an SE. In '91 they came out with an Interstate and the previously designated GL1500 was now an Aspencade. The only models that didn't have reverse were the Interstates.i am not , dead nut sure, but the only year that didnt have a reverse was the 88 . to get it you had to up grade to the next model. after that it was standard issue starting in 89. i maybe all wet in my thinking on this. but thats how the old gray matter rembers it. i`ll do a bit of reshurce.
i guees i was wrong than. must have had the years mixed up. sorry for any cofusion caused. but 1500 without a reverse ---boy!! thats a lot of bike to back up some times.wda-83wing wrote:In 88 and 89 there only was one model, the GL1500 with no letter designation, and they had reverse.

No doubt about that. My 1500SE is way harder to back up manually than any of my 1200's were. Did I mention I love reverse on my 1500SE.but 1500 without a reverse ---boy!! thats a lot of bike to back up some times.
