GL1500 slave cylinder

[RDawson]

My sister has a Hannigan triked GL1500 losing clutch fluid. I assume slave cylinder time. Does anyone have any experience what I'm getting into? Never messed with Honda much besides rebuilding her rear master cylinder.

I recently replaced one on a Valkyrie. You don't say which GL1500, but I presume it's the GoldWing. Should be about the same.

 

Fairly easy to do, easier than a Venture, centered on the rear of the engine. 3 bolts hold it to the clutch cover. Needed to pull the kick stand off the frame to get enough clearance to get the left most bolt out. The bleed screw is remote (top of the engine) with a solid steel tube down to a 2nd banjo bolt on the slave. Just pull that bolt (don't loose the crush washers) and you can flex the tube enough to pull the slave out.

 

On the Valkyrie I could see what I was doing from the right side of the motorcycle. I think on a GoldWing the battery will block your view. Probably have to get your head down on the floor to see what you're doing.
