Ok, picked up the 85 se goldwing yesterday. Everything works, charges like its supposed to etc. Now to the new wing dude questions lol. I know about the stator problem on these bikes, so I will in the next week or so be hard soldering the stator wires replacing the dog bone fuses etc. Couple of questions I have though for you good folks.
Does soldering those stator wires etc, normally prevent the stator from burning out? Or was that a factory boo boo that Im eventually going to have to do the alternator conversion anyway???
Also if there is anything I can do now to this bike that anyone knows of that will prevent future troubles id love to know about them. Ive rode for years but this is my first wing. Its most likely the last bike wife and I will buy and its going to be doing trips from ky to tx, dakotas, etc over the next few summers so Id like to get it as bulltet proof as I can.
There seems to be a lot of info here on these bikes so instead of picking up the tricks the hard way aka wife and me stuck on the side of the road lol, figured I ask for suggestions here. Thanks be safe Ghost
