It doesn't sound like you have a technical problem, but a logistic one.  You haven't let us know what your specific problem is, so we can't suggest solutions.

remember if u want lower hwy RPMs get a '97-00 Goldwing GL1500 engine.

What is wrong with the current one? I mean this is a tech board. Tell us your problems and we will give you several fixes if there is a fix. Of course there is a fix, it is a mechanical device. Location would be a big help

According to Fred Rau in motorcycle consumer news june 05 article. GL1500 3rd 1.272, 4th .964, 5th .758.
Valkyries 3rd 1.291, 4th 1.00, 5th .805. 1st and 2nd are the same.

early than '97 gear sets will not work, the GW shafts are smaller from my understanding and other posts from a few yrs ago. The parts fiches seem to bear this out.

Goldwing gears have always been straight cut. Don't know about the GL1800.

from the June '05 issue of motorcycle consumer news, by Fred Rau. He was the editor of Wing World magazine in '87, the news letter of the largest Gold Wing organization, the Gold Wing Road Riders Association (GWRRA), and now contributes to MCN.

"in '97 the GW recieved a fairly major upgrade that was, oddly enough not heralded by Honda. Honda quietly lifted the Valkyrie's main bearings, pistons, piston rings, con-rod bolts and valve springs into the '97 Wing, along with the smoother-shifting Valkyrie gearbox and the entire final drive unit. In addition, the clutch was strengthened, also."

Also from the article, 1) '88 through '94, 4th and 5th gear wear out at around 100k miles, gears were upgraded in '95 and newer. Also, shift forks wear out from riders resting their toe on the shift lever while riding. their experts warned that the use of heel-toe shifters is also responsible for shift fork damage, as your heal puts much more force on the shifter than your toe would. 2) speedo cable should be lubed every front tire change other wise they break at 100k miles. 3) final drive splines, maintenance should be done IAW honda service bulletin 97991-MAH-305.
