Bought 1999 gl 1500 SE recently. Bike is great but display screen on instrument panel is leaking fluid and part of display is Black and you can not read through the black area. I obtained a used display and all wiring. Can anyone tell me how easy or difficult it would be to change the display in the instrument panel. If its not too difficult how is it done. Thanks in anticipation. Gus

... Howdy ... If You Are Going To Do Repairs ... I Would Recommend A 'honda' Repair/service Manual For You're Year And Model Of Bike ... Some Of The Other Aftermarket Manuals Have Inaccurate Info. In Them ... Honda Sells The Manuals For Around $55. ... I Have A 85 1200 Ltd. And Have Seen The Part About Removing The Display ... For Mine It Didn't Seem To Difficult To Remove And Replace The Display ... Happy Trails ...

Honda repair manual?

I was just browsing, ronzilla I see you have recomended the factory Honda manual in different posts..I have an '87 Aspencade;

My local dealer tells me that manual is no longer available...do you have a source?
I would like to have one, I have nearly completely torn down my wing..(not engine) but all the plastic/bodywork...and especially the fairing so I can go through all the connecters and do a proper cleaning..... also,my wing is Black. I'm considering a color change.
I have always liked the 1990 SE Pearl White color...can anyone point me to the#s for that color?

While I'm asking, can anyone suggest a way to "clean" or recharge the disicant(sp?) in the air dryer for the on board compressor? That part is not available, the sytem still works,but, it has a lot of fluid in it...thanks for any help.....

... HOWDY ... BLADE ... I WOULD CHECK WITH A DIFFERENT DEALER AS FAR AS I HAVE BEEN TOLD HONDA STILL SELLS THE HONDA SERVICE/REPAIR MANUALS ... I JUST BOUGHT ONE FOR MY 85 COST $55. ... HONDA NO LONGER HAS THE 'OWNERS MANUALS' AVAILABLE ... DO A GOOGLE SEARCH FOR HONDA SERVICE/REPAIR MANUALS AND THERE SHOULD BE SITES THAT HAVE THEM TOO ... HAPPY TRAILS ...

Thanks guys; I guess I got lucky with the owners manual...it was in the compartment above the gas cap....the P.O. must have not opened it in some time...also the pockets were full of stuff he didn't want I guess....cassette tapes etc. I will check the options you guys have listed..Thanks.....
