I replaced my joint at 92K as a preventative maintenance job. The old one is in decent shape and should last a long time unless you do wheelies and bunouts. $40 including shipping is a fair price. I won't gouge anybody due to a shortage. Let me know. It's not actively for sale; just available if somebody needs to get back on the road.

It's my understanding that the early GL1500 Wings u-joints were not as "beefy" as the Valks and that all GL1500's were superseded with the Valk u-joint - anyone have any info on that ??

Just as a side note these more than likely can be rebuilt. I know that the caps are held in by the tabs being peened over but I have rebuilt these kind before with good results the problem comes in when trying to find the correct u joint. When assembling the joint a punch or even sometimes cutting a small groove and putting in a locking ring. It is very doable and even some machine shops can do the work for you. I would hate not to be riding my Valk for a back-ordered part.
I currently have a u-joint from a 2002 and newer Honda CR-V in my 99 Tourer. The caps are tack welded into the yoke ears. 600 miles and no troubles. Plus there is an inverted zerk fitting so it can be greased.
