I just wanted to formally say "hello" and thank you all for the wonderful information that you provide!
I have been a member since August 2019. I figured it was time to step out of the shadows - so to speak. I have a '78 Wing (that might have been obvious... ). When she came into my life she was a non-runner with a bunch of miscellaneous parts thrown in to make her that much more irresistible. Due to challenges life has allowed me to experience it has taken a little over 2 years to bring her to the point of us sharing road time together. What an amazing experience to ride a naked Goldwing! I had never been owned or even ridden a Goldwing prior to being owned by this one.
Thanks to all who have contributed to these forums and to the technical articles for helping me bring my bike back to life!

As a matter of fact I did just change the belts. Mostly due to the seemingly constant reminders posted ALL OVER this site. I figured the Universe was trying to tell me something...
