Gl1100 needle valve dimensions

#1

Post by Ozarkmike »

Howdy new to the forum long time goldwing owner with a question. After 200000 miles of fighting aftermarket valves that i installed some 15 years ago i was going to buy oem honda parts. Proceeded to jump on the internet just to have a aneurysm when i saw it was gonna cost 250 bucks (that i cant afford right now) for 4 valves. Thinking that a yamaha dt100 valve looked similar i then tried to use my google fu to find what other valves were used by other manufacturers used a valve similar to what the wing has just to be disappointed that thread diameters and pitches were omitted from the specs not to mention other measurements. I will tear my carbs down if i have to but id rather wait until i got replacements in hand so the bike is not down for 2 weeks while i wait for parts to arrive. (No 3 day shipping to middle of nowhere Montana takes minimum of 1 week to get anything ). So the question is i am looking for any measurements i can get my hands on for a gl1100 float needle valve. Thanks

Sure seems like getting good used valves from another GL1100 carb set would be reasonable. Just hard to be sure the valves you are buying are real honda ones.

Didn't realize you meant "float" needles. I just got a 6 pack at Starcycle.com for under $40.

You can get OEM for a lot less than $250.00. https://www.ebay.com/itm/320968322435?h ... R5Smhp7gYQ

And you do want to use only OEM.
