My favorite part of the video is when you pulled a microwave out of the trunk lol.

Excellent tip for the luggage, I would have never thought of that. Well done and thanks for sharing this with us

First of all, it was great hearing Penny’s mellifluous voice. And…You are something else, Brother! That microwave must be 12 volt I guess… pop me in a nice pasty please…. Quite a trick with lifting up the Goldwing’s skirts. 😎 Have a great week there… 🏍👍🏍

I have carried out the rebuilding of my GL1100 rear disc calliper on a couple of occasions, much easier on the naked 1100 as there is plenty of access to the calliper itself. I used stainless steel pistons on the rebuild as I hoped they would fair better in our climate. I purchased them, and the assorted seals etc from a company based at Chesterfield called Powersports. They do a huge range of bike relating braking components, they also will undertake the refurbishment of old callipers if you don’t fancy doing the job yourself. On examining the new pistons it was obvious that the final diameters of them had been finished by precision grinding as opposed to just being a turned finish. Much better in my opinion. Strange thing is that when I went to their facility to pick up my kit I thought that recognised the Manger of the sales department. We starting speaking and it then dawned on me as he was the chap who purchased my Kawasaki Zephyr 1100 several years ago. The bike only had a few thousand miles on the clock and was in immaculate condition, it had never seen rain and was kept in my heated garage from new. He still has the bike, in fact it’s on display in the workshop there. To be honest I wish I had never sold it as I have never seen another Zephyr that was in such great condition. I obviously asked if I could buy it back off him, but he very politely said no! I think the Zephyrs are starting to be appreciated as modern classics, and they are becoming a bit sought after. Couple of things to add Del, I always use a brass haired wire brush when cleaning bike parts, I think it’s a bit kinder to the parts you are cleaning. My old Dad used to soak corroded fasteners with a bit a diesel for a day or to before trying to loosen them. He used to call it ‘poor-mans penetrating fluid’. Great content Del, love your work and passion for the old Goldwings. I will not make the mistake of selling my venerable old GL1100 as I did with the Zephyr. I think she is a keeper!

Thanks for all the videos and your hard work..Cheers

Well this will definitely help in changing my rear tire!

I just love your video's and the detail you describe. I just tried to get my muffler off to change rear end fluid and could not budge it even after soaking it in penetrating oil. I seen when you reinstalled your mufflers you only used a nut driver and only hand tighten it. After seeing that I better go loosen mine up. Thanks again for a very informative video.

Awesome gonna do this to my wing gotta clean and rebuild the rear caliper. Thanks a lot for your videos.

Nice video work overall! Loved the microwave in the truck...great humor! Cheers!

You by far the best on youtube, your videos are great, full of information and camera shots are the best. Keep up the great work and thanks.

.....Spring in a minute, love that optimism and timescale

Comfy, I'm Glad The Seat Was Comfy and Liked When Penny Laughed 😅 Penny and You Del Stay Healthy and Ride Safely.

I thought my Deauville was a pain in the rear when it came to stripping the plastic off... Great video as usual, and quite therapeutic watching someone else working. 🙂 I've just overhauled my brakes too, but I do wish I had a bike lift rather than having to bogger up my knees.

Very good Mr Del, we enjoy your videos very much, always great

brother I died laughing when you pulled out the microwave out of the trunk 😂😂😂 great job on the maintenance task ! cant wait for the next project reveal!!! stay safe guys cheers from new york !!!!! 🍺🍺🍺🍷🍷🍷🍷

Brilliant Del, like the others the microwave was pure comedy gold

Thank you so much for yet again, another well put together video to simplify our lives when it comes to overwhelming tasks. You have my respect and admiration. Keep up the great work.

Awesome video, very informative and detailed. Thank you for sharing.

I just love that phrase "very easy I will show you". Hope both of you are doing well. Let's call it stage 2 recovery,ha? Thanks a lot!

I like the backend flippy flippy action.

Now that was an Awesome trick. I don't own a Goldwing, but thanks for sharing! I've subscribed.

I actually spat my tea when you pulled the microwave out of the back box! Genius!

That was such a treat seeing, thank you so much for making a video showing a easy way to access the brakes. Very helpful and made my day.

Mad Max Honda Goldwing - Niccceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Brilliant !

You forgot the kitchen sink! 🤣 Classic. Great job guys.

Nice trick! Wating for the new project... and summer!

Dont think even Matt could argue with that.

MICROWAVE out of the Trunk..... Brilliant!!!! See I told you a little bit of humor in a video ALWAYS makes it better! It doesnt need to be every single video just every now and then. Fantastic. Delboy for the WIN! Delboy for Prime Minister! Even better Delboy for the next regen of The Doctor!

Hey Del and Penny, great video and great tip with the baggage in the back. I thoroughly enjoyed the de-microwaving of the top trunk, by the way. Thanks as ever and looking forward to Friday's video with much anticipation.

Yes!! good reflex, coper greace..

That is a great idea for getting to the rear wheel

My buddy has a gl1100 . 4 pot boxer. Totally naked stock . Not even the half fairing model .. It's incredible how they evolved over time . Especially when you look at TMF's space ship .. Great vid Del and good to learn the tricks for access . Peace and love to you and Pp 👍🏻☮❤

Ok, Now I know to how to use the anti-seize. Thanks again.

Nice video Del & Penny. Job well done mate and I love the trick to get to the rear wheel, looking forward to the next one and the new project . Penny and you have a great and safe week. Cheers

After watching the first part (front brakes) I went to wheel my 800 Tiger out of the garage and found the brakes binding really badly. Coincidence or what, anyway due to watching that last video I had all three calipers off and cleaned and back on in no time. Nice one Del....

Excellent idea! I'm going to try it on a Goldwing tire change tomorrow. It looks like it sure beats taking half of the bike apart to remove the rear wheel.

Back to showroom condition. Great job, Del.

I've heard of rotating the whole mess up like that before but never really understood the process until now. Beautiful job good sir. Cheers.

I nearly spilled my tea over the keyboard when you took that microwave from the topcase! Günter from Nürnberg/Germany

Geez!! I could have done that on my Goldwing!!! Only extra step I have to take my trailer hitch off… another issue… my garage is 8-9 feet high ceiling so hava do it outside.. great video!!! I don’t need worry bout rear brakes for while as it was done while back!! Thank you for sharing!!! 👍

Hi Del, how about a full clutch replacement for the 1500 goldwing, friction plates and discs, now the would make a fantastic viewing video, regards Cliff Matthews

My son has a 1500 Goldwing. He does much the same thing to access the rear wheel but he does not remove the mufflers to get the wheel off. Instead, he disconnects the shock lowers and this allows the axle to go lower or higher than the mufflers so it can be removed easily. If you are working on a Valkyrie you pretty much have to remember this trick since the mufflers are one with the headers and requires them to be removed from the heads.

Sehr gut 👍

A blanket and two mugs? Perfect for that night ride and bonfire date! You are the smooth operator! But the microwave might kill someone from all the extension cord needed.

Nice video... won me over...

Great videos chap. I am totally grateful that my CB500X is easier to work on than that! Subscribed.

The microwave 😂😂😂

Brilliant

This video was great! So I can do this procedure to remove rear tire?

OK I like how you keep the side battery cover from yeeting itself into a ditch.

😂silly sod. I do love a good shortcut tip though and as for the picnic rug, maybe it’s a Dorset thing, but I always have my stove and kettle on board. A ride out with my better half usually involves tea! ( and of course cake), 😊... I’ve reached that age.

Great tip on lifting the back box up. I half expected to see a bit of astroturf and a picket fence come out of it too.

As always.....great entertainment. Microwave in the topcase🙈 Looking forward to the next project. Warm regards to you and penny☮

bro your content is GOLD (as in i subscribe to goldwingdocs and I have never seen this trick before) every video i watch on your channel i learn more than i asked to in the first place

I have never seen the trunk and bags tip up method before. Interesting !

Thought you were going to pull out the kitchen sink from that back box. !! Lol. Good content on cleaning the brakes though mate. 😎👍

Question, do you have to remove the bolts in the saddle bags or just loosen them? Seems like they would be very difficult to put them back in.

Hello and thank you for this video. Is it really necessary to remove the exhausts to be able to lift the cases this way? I need to access the flasher relay for the flashing lights in order to replace it. It is located below the top box, at the level of the fender.

You da man Del. You. da. maan.

poor poor goldie, del maybe an idea ,install a tube over tha rear brake so you can rinse it daily with a seringe /spraybottle whatever. fill it preferbely with luke soapie water, get off the most of the salt. macgyver some . i already have a name for it. dbr , short for, dels brake rinser. make room for the money that comes in me think its plenty dont forget me wrechbro.

That thing makes my Road king look like a toddlers toy in comparison. Like a two wheeled freight train:p

Man what a faf and thats the workaround! Del seriously most 'wing owners just remove the rear caliper in winter and refit in summer. Much easier mate 😉

Hi Del. Do you need to adjust the torque settings for bolts when you add anti-seize compound or loctite to, or is it fine to use the standard torque values?

I laughed hard when you took the microwave out of the topbox.

Ye loved the microwave. Must b the very old moddle that had kitchen sink

Goldwing brake cleaning step #3 - “Remove microwave oven”. For a second I was like “Wait, they come with a microwave??” You got me.

Hey bro do you have the SE model?....I have a 1991 GL1500A and I'm wondering will the rear end lift up like yours did?. I had to take the saddlebags off etc. just to get the wheel toff to get the tire changed, it was a lot of work. Great job I might add......you sure know a lot about maintenance and repairs for the Goldwing. Thanks again girl and stay safe. 😁👍

Top job Del and not to tricky the way it was explained. The shed wing should appear in the next bond movie. All the bells and whistles. I'm sure it probably doubles up as a hovercraft. Have a good week both....Teamwork! 🥳👋🏻🇸🇪🇬🇧

I heard Penny giggle at 1:52. I miss her!

Great job Del! Looking forward to next week. Cheers mate.

Rumor has it. That microwave actually plugs into the bike

Thankx for the trick !!! why did you remove the right side exhaust ?

now thats a neat wee trick del never saw that before m8 nice job yet again you know how i like these vids atb m8 iain

Do you just loosen all 4 bolts, or do you remove the 2 bolts in the panniers and loosen the top 2 bolts under the seat?

I just disassebled everything for no reason. Nice.

At least it didn't have the kitchen sink in there aye and those end cans they look more like the Dartford tunnel 😂 Looking forward to that next build Del it will be like Christmas morning for all of us!

This is great! I’m new to Goldwing and I’d wish someone would’ve told me about this trick here when I changed my rear tire! You loosen the frame bolts and removed the bolts in the panniers?

Very amusing Del with the microwave oven I thought the kitchen sink was to follow Nice job as always Nick Australia

Ein per exzellent-A screwdriver per excellent

Seems easy but getting the subframe to align for the bolts to fit back in is a very hard job.

Microwave oven 🤔 Honda think of everything 😜

I have to ask how many times have you pulled that apart piece by piece before you worked out your little trick .. well done

Great Video , good photography, but what about the microwave in the top box???

thanks brother....rear tire swap this spring will be soooo much better now. do you have a trick for the '83 model too. lol she also needs a new rear. btw are you darksiding?

The first thing that crossed my mind was training to do this kind of work without a proper stand...

Howdy, I am 68 years old. I have been riding bikes since I was 10 years old. Purchased my first Harley in 1975. Have always done my own maintenance. Just purchased my first Goldwing, a 1996. The throttle is kind of slow and sticky to return to idle. Normally I would lube the cables but this thing has cruise control!!??. Can you do a video on lubing the throttle cables on a Goldwing?

Fascinating! I totally geek out over little tricks like that bodywork swiveling thing. I always thought my '82 CX500Turbo had a similarly neat feature, where the whole front section below the windscreen pivoted forward like a mini Jaguar E-Type bonnet, and was held in place with two braided steel cables. The microwave killed me hahahaha

hmmm ya got me thinking 🤔

So glad I got the Burgman instead of the Goldwing. Good Grief!

I was just waiting for the kitchen sink to pop out from some ware.

What is it about your winter that fouls the brake like that. The service of my 2002 and 2018 GL1800 is all done on center stand with me lying on floor; or unbolting caliper and working on bench.

Does this also work if you have to remove the tank?

Is there no way around, so you only have to remove the sidecase?

Love of work just to clean brakes

Well, I'm unlucky, when I lift the whole block of suitcases like you show, the fender also lifts, and I don't have access to the flasher relays.

One more question. I bought a 95 with no seat, so I just ordered one. I will need the seat bolts. Does the end of the bolt need to be tapered? Or could I just get a standard stainless steel button head bolt?

That would make a good backbone for a bobber. Hmm

I was waiting for you to keep removing items from the trunk. 🙂

Just found your Chanel. That bike is hilarious. Who's is it ?
