Motorcycle Repair: fork seals for 1984 honda goldwing 1200, honda goldwing 1200, fork seals


Question
can you please advise me where to go for a diagram of this model

Answer
Information on servicing the forks should be in your shop manual. If you don't have a shop manual you should get one - your bike is an antique and you will have a hard time finding a shop that will work on it. The sad fact is that a lot of the mechanics working now are too young to remember bikes this old and aren't interested in learning about them so that they can do a proper job since yours may be the only one they see this year. This means that you will have to do most of your own work, and working on a bike without a good shop manual is just not worth the headaches. (My bikes are from the same era - that's why I fix them myself.)

I recommend that you get two manuals - a Factory Shop Manual and a Haynes or Clymer. That way when you don't understand the explanation in one you will probably figure it out when you have read the other too. If you spend some time on Google you might even find a factory manual available for free download.

Go to Google and search forthe followng keywords (include the quotes):

Honda motorcycle "online fiche"

You will find hundreds of websites of dealerships with parts drawings (like the ones that used to be on microfiche at every dealer) that you can use as a resource to see the drawings and look up the part numbers (& maybe even order the parts you need). Pick one that is near your home or that you like the name of and bookmark it for future reference.
