Does anyone know where I can get a battery cover for a 1982 gold wing? when I bought it a couple of weeks ago it was missing.that is one of the few things I need to put this thing back on the road again as complete.
Thanks willy

Your best bet is probaby E-bay or Craigslist but be prepared to shell out $200-300 skins or more. A friend of mine needed one for his '85 and that's about what they were going for. He has installed a tether on his replacement cover so it doesn't blow off while cruising, as aparently they're prone to do. To add insult to injury, the cover for the other side goes for around $40-50 I think. Supply and demand!

There is a set on e-bay for $65.00

Dang... that's a smokin' deal! Are the 1100 covers less in demand that the 1200s? I didn't realize the '82 was an 1100.

 

[joe in calif]

The 1200 didn't start until 1984.

1975 to 1977 1000cc
1978 to 1983 1100cc
1984 to 1987 1200cc
1988 to 2000 1500cc
2001 to ???? 1800cc

Thanks for the history lesson Joe. The only one I was absolutely sure of was the '08 GL1800.

Are you looking for the side cover for the bike or the plastic cover that sits on top of the battery.....If the one that sits on top of the battery...you don't need it...I lost mine 20 years ago...if you need the side cover...follow all the other links given in this thread....

Safe Ride....
