I finally quit procrastinating working on the wife's 1988 GL1500 trike and got 'er done today. Used the directions from the forum and everything went according to plan. The right belt (as you sit on the bike) was very loose (3/4" - 1" slack) and the left belt was not quite as loose but not as tight as it should have been. They looked pretty good, with no cracks or sign of wear, but they are now outta there!
The new belts and 4-degree trigger wheel went on without a hitch. Turned the engine by hand a few revolutionswith everything lining up on the marks.Bolted her back together and gave it a test run with no problems. Got to synch the carbs and put the plastic back on, then will do a few miles to check it out.
Great site for Goldwingers!
