Quitting After Decades: I Think I Need To Stop Doing This

[@mjgrogan1315]

Dude you are a rock star for what you're doing for us Goldwing owners. Thanks a million

[@spencerfarnik2838]

I just bought a 92 gl1500 a few months ago and I have to say this channel is awesome. I will be ordering some relays and just replace all 7. Thank you.

[@michaelhargarten5118]

I ordered the relays, and the shipping was quick! Additionally, the cost for the relays were very affordable. Thank you Scott for making these videos and continuing to support the owners of older Gold Wing motorcycles.

[@jimeckenrode1271]

Mark, you are one awesome fellow for what you do. I have a 1500 that I am unable to ride anymore due to old age. I want to thank you for what you continue to do for the Gold Wing community.

You have been the most valuable and enjoyable cr3ator on yt. I watched videos I didn't need to just bc u make it fun to watch. I hope to catch ya out there 1 day. ❤

[@thomaslawson7689]

I appreciate what you do. Thanks for helping us keep these awesome bikes going.

[@JohnStruemph]

Thanks for all you do!

[@OfficialChrissums]

Just ordered one for my 83 Interstate project. My gauges work fine but I intend on keeping this sucker going. Plus I consider it my duty to support the pillar of the wing community. Salute!

[@frankerikson-v1t]

Thanks Mark 😊

[@fistfulofgoldwing]

You're doing the Lord's work sir. I definitely get the stress, but THANK YOU for persevering.

[@davidpetersjr4519]

I think you are doing Great! I'm still working on my 1984 Goldwing 1200I. I'm getting ready to look up if it will need one of your 7 volt Regulator ? I'm nit sure yet, especially after just watching your video. I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thank you from Eastern Tennessee.

[@GoldwingDocs]

Thank you, and same to you and your family!

[@michaelcook184]

Thanks for caring enough to do this😊

[@rockingjim58]

Your awesome!!

[@deltaforceaviation7924]

Couple months ago I bought it from you and my bike is showing consistent readings!

[@GoldwingDocs]

The biggest problem is that I put myself out of business, because in the 13+ years I've been selling them, I haven't had a single person report that it has failed. I should maybe have made them with the same kind of failure rate that Honda's have. :)

[@MM_in_Havasu]

Thanks to you for doing this stuff for GW riders! Had to sell my beloved GL1800 last June due to a stroke late last year, had to make the decision to stop riding, not altogether(still have my turbo CBX), but for safety's sake as my reaction times are not quite with the program to safely ride my big bike long distances. Keep up the good work as long as you can! It's appreciated by me even though I'm not up on 2 wheels anymore.

[@GoldwingDocs]

I hope you're at least recovered that you can still do other things that are fun. And you have the memories!

[@antonwearsakilt5209]

Thank you very much, I recently found a barn fresh gl1500 in good shape, yet she is 36 year's young. I'll be ordering more part's especially from your site. These bikes are pretty amazing when they run, yet are massive turds when they don't. Thank you for helping us to keep our Wings alive.

Hello youngman..we miss ur bike episodes....this is Mike...hope u & the family r well...have a great Xmas & new yrs...if I may inquire of u....I hav a 1995 GL 1500 G-wing , I heard that u could change a carb engine to fuel eject ion for the yr 1994, 1995...what is ur professional insight...hope u can assist me with a response...I will order about 14 relays soon...u r extremely valuable 2 the utube community sir...

[@shammon1]

One here in my 1977 GL1000 here in Glasgow, Scotland 👍

[@anthonysteckle]

Hello from Michigan! Scott, I replaced all the relays in my gl1500 with your relays. Couldn’t be happier w your product. I can’t tell you how much confidence I have within my 35yr old bike now. Thank you so much for supplying a great product for the Wang community.

[@petersymons7817]

Thank you

[@frankerikson-v1t]

I have a, 2015 v Star 950 problem is when I gun it it just dies any Suggestions. It Idels fine and goes, to 50 mph but that's it. N/G 😮

[@wayneknodel3347]

I have a 1976 GL1000 LTD I bought new, and in 1977 on the way to Sturgis (!!!) for my first time, I looked down at my fuel guage after refueling, and it only showed slightly more than 1/2 a tank. And that's how it's been for the past 47 years! I have checked the relay a number of times and it always has read 7 volts, so I assumed it was some aberation of the in-tank float, and for the past 47 years I've been too lazy to chase it further, but your video popped up and made me think I should really get a man on it! I am going to order a couple just to have spares, but I am curious if you have ever been aware of a problem like mine that the relay resolved? If I don't have to mess with the sending unit, I would prefer not to, so I'm taking the lazy mans route and just "asking around" Great videos BTW; And it's awesome that people like you are helping to keep these great motorcycles on the road! My 76 only has 14000 miles, so I want to keep riding it as long as I can.

[@garyedwards8142]

This is why you still have over 28k in subs… respect 🇬🇧👍

[@edwardmalfroid946]

I have had mine so long that I had forgotten what they were originally for...😅

[@tacticalofficer6103]

Sir Thank you for your knowledge

[@Acthungbaby]

Your amazing I might get one even though my Goldwing is 84 aspencade with digital dash.

[@coreyduma325]

I can carry the torch for a while. It would be helpful if you can provide some information about the case and its dimensions. I've already got a SMPS on the breadboard and its almost ready to proceed to PCB design. I would welcome any communication you have on this topic.

[@martinfisher2885]

Dear Sir: Perhaps you would be so kind as to do a video showing anyone who wants to, how to build them. Or even sell the plans. It helps you, and helps us.

[@wheeljam73]

I totally agree with this statement. Put up videos and parts lists for everything. I enjoy building electronics, just can't design very well lol.

[@coreyduma325]

I already have the circuit built and just need data about the case dimensions. Unfortunately, its not a circuit that is approachable to persons without training. It would be a third semester electrical engineering course, optimistically. Selling the plans wouldnt be effective as this requires a custom circuit board to fit in the enclosure among other reasons If you think you can do it, its just an LM317 and the datasheet has instructions on how to set the voltage correctly

[@ksgjlg]

Same thing with 1800 starter relays. Stock Honda is $65 and really light weight. I installed a riding lawnmower relay for $14. Much heavier and available.

[@ghostrider564]

As an 1800 riser is there anything that I should be watching out for in this vain? Thanks for all the work you have done

[@frank9649]

You're a good man Scott, thanks for all you do !!

[@Acthungbaby]

Scott the 50 nz for spade fuse it's just strip of thin alloy

[@lescook9521]

You rock! I bought relays - haven’t used any. Bought a voltage regulator- never used it. Since you’re considering discontinuing I will order more.

[@JJMedusa]

-- Great video! 😊👍🏍️

[@jvsmeds]

Wished I watched the whole video before I ordered 6 relays lol

[@John_Ridley]

Why would you be "stranded" with a bad relay? Can you not just borrow a non-critical one, maybe horn or high beam, and drop that in to the failed one position until you get home? They're all the same other than the blue one. Kudos for what you do though. I'm about to buy my first GL1500 and I'll buy some relays just in case as soon as it's in my garage.

[@chrisrichardson7217]

Great work!

[@musahussein-hi4il]

How are you, brother? I have a boy's motorcycle, 1800, model 7. The motorcycle is new in agency condition, and the fuel pump handle is sagging. The fuel pump does not turn on. I checked the fuel pump fuse, it works. I checked the fuel pump start button, it works. I checked the plug that powers the pump, the code does not have electricity. What is the reason? I took too long. I am following you from Iraq. Sorry for the length. Thank you. We do not have a Honda agency in Iraq, and the mechanics in Iraq steal parts from the bike and replace them with worn-out spare parts.

[@davidevelyn530]

I suppose a 97 Valkyrie has fewer relays looking at the wiring schematic?

[@andresgonzalez1236]

Bro i bearly found this channel like 3 weeks ago and need the regulator.

[@RedJetty-h1y]

boy, dudes got great hair too!!

[@jonathanwells828]

What’s your web site again and have u or anyone u know made a kit to replace radio on 1500

[@themissile3120]

Really appreciate your efforts. Can't believe Honda made the OEM relay exclusive after you leveled out the market, highly disappointing behavior, but no doubt was the result of some supply chain management dude. These bikes go for so little you would think Honda would respect it and the legacy by supplying cheap parts but I suppose a 25-37 year old bike gets forgotten.

[@GoldwingDocs]

It's not uncommon strategy for a company. Back in the early 2000's I started a company that made software that worked with XM Satellite Radio receivers, and allowed you to do things with them that XM did not allow: record music directly. After my company's product got extremely popular, XM started getting a lot of heat from record companies, as their licensing of music was for broadcasting only, and not recording. They tried libeling us in press releases, they tried suing us, finally they discontinued that receiver entirely, to attempt to kill my company's product. It didn't work, as we just switched our software to work with another of their products (which was their core product, that they couldn't kill).

[@themissile3120]

@@GoldwingDocs that sounds like quite the story, what was this called? might make an interesting little documentary.

[@jonbullard6150]

I ordered two, but I want 5 more so I can replace them all......wait, I have two 1500s!!!! 12 more!!!! Lol

[@toddlong8672]

Later

[@supermankent1041]

If you don't want to build any more, Would it be practical to sell the schematic for the regulator. On the other hand Radio Shack is gone. Maybe sell it as a kit so you don't have to build them. Just directions, schematic and parts.

[@pauldutton7525]

What about the 1800 relays

[@7viewerlogic670]

You need to charge more money, only fair to do so.

[@jimcahill3476]

Your spirit is what drives the start ups... Maybe you can enlist community or apprentice programs to train people to do the labor and learn a skill at the same time. Send your press release to Honda so they can scrap some Shxt off their face... thank you.

[@MaynardFreek]

You clickbaited me into thinking you were quitting making KZbin videos and possibly quitting riding Gold Wings based on your title. I’m downvoting your video!
