So, has anyone ever done a gold wing? Or is that just TOO big of a bike?
Yes and no. An early GL1000 isn't monsrously heavy once the engine and
trasmission is out, but once you get into the 'two wheeled car' models
(GL1500, GL1800) they needed an electric reverse to manouvre them and get
them off the stands.
I remember seeing a site somewhere several year sago with someone
converting a Goldwing. All I remember is the picture of what happened after
he bent over while the shaft was spinning during tests and caught his long
hair.........
I think that was Mike Shipway. His website doesn't seem to exist any more.
Another problem (which I'm going to have to deal with on my beemer) is the
shaft drive makes it hard to alter gear ratios to zero in on performance
vs. speed.
Have you seen Alan Grimmett's Ural?
