Major Surgery on the GL1500
I have to tear the whole back end of the Goldwing apart. UGH! I need to change out the U joint. It howls like crazy 60 mph and above and I can feel some vibrations in my feet. It is annoying to say the least. The wing is supposed to be nice and quiet. I have the beefier Valkyrie U joint to go in it and a new rubber boot as well. I have been dreading doing this for a while and have been putting it off. But I need to go ahead and get it done. I definitely don't want it to come apart and tear up a whole mess of stuff.

It's honestly not as bad as it looks to do. Maybe the 1500's are, but my 1000 was fairly easy.
