Picking the collectives brain

I want to have some pumpkin parts on standby. Male and female.

Does anyone have the part numbers for the Goldwing components that fit our bikes?

            Go on ahead and P M Grumpy. He has pressed in the replacement G W parts and should have the #s. RIDE SAFE.

If you're thinking of buying new, you should probably buy Valkyrie parts... the only advantage
to wing parts is that you can usually find a good 1500 wing final (and wing flanges) on eBay
or from a trike builder near you... then you can rob the needed parts from the wing final
drive (pretty much just the splines from the ring gear) ... plus, there's no skill to robbing
splines from a 1500 wing and putting them in your Valkyrie final drive (other than the pressing,
which I got done while I waited at NAPA), and if you buy new parts you need to be able to
match them up to your final drive using the right shim which I think you can see by looking at
the various part #17's on the final drive fiche list...

Find a good used GL1500GW Final drive with the 5 Finger Drive Flange that was used with it (existing wear pattern). When disassembling the Valkyrie Final Drive, be sure to mark the Valkyrie ring gear so that there is no confusion as to which one to use when pressing the Goldwing Splines in. I have done a number of the swaps and have found that it is best to use the Valkyrie Ring Gear Bearing with the Valkyrie spacer that goes between the ring gear and the bearing. The spacer that is used on the Goldwing final Drive is usually thicker and reduces the gear backlash when put into the Valkyrie final Drive. You do not want that. It does help to check the gear backlash before disassembly and then check it again when finished. Not that hard a job.

Holy moly ther's some crap being sold on ebay.

I have never understood the seller that doesn't clean what they are trying to sell and the awful photos they post.
