Well when it rains it pours..... I was checking my Gold Wing out and found I cracked the motor dont ask me how I did it but I did guess I hit something. talked it over with Peg since its an 90 model we decided to replace it instead of fixing it. Was looking for another Wing but they want an arm & leg with high miles so instead I found an 07 Blue Venture I can get for around $6,800.00 with 32,000 miles like mint condition so I will be heading out tomorrow morning to ride it home. I will have to work with it as for being top heavy and me going on a diet may help as well since I went in for my check up I gained 22lbs since last vist. Wish me luck tomorrow LOL Buddy

Like stated look behind the fin covers on each cylinder little black plug seaps from time to time I put right-stuff on them and it leaked no more note: if you pull them little plugs the anitfreeze will go everywhere so be ready for a mess to clean up. Also check hose clamps mine was seaping above the front cylinders had to remove gas tank to find the leak once I seen is was from the hose clamps I use a 2 foot screwdriver to reach them and tighten them up fixed that leak as well.

As for the 404's they are junk in my books wear out too fast and they get lousy traction The E3 tires last longer get great traction but they get real noisy (chopping )after putting on a few thousand miles which I do not like! but so far I have 18,000mi on this set of E3 tires rear tire has 4/32 left but the front has 2/32 figure I'll get 25,000mi out of the rear tire if I'm lucky but the front has to replaced Avon is another tire that I like the Avon tread pattern is like that of the E3 and they get noisy as well the Tire I miss is the Dunlop ''491'' which was replaced by the E3's. They gave me the best performance and best wear.

Some will post on here that it does not work even tho they never used it..... For myself I like it! easy to install and never had any problems with the balance of the tires how it works is as you ride down the road it will spread around in the tire in the tread area and balances the tire as it moves never dries up nor damage the wheel at least it did for me but if you get a hole in the side wall you out of luck due to it staying in the tread area . Wildhair39 had it in his tires and while out on the road he replaced his rear tire due to it being worn out as he was everywhere!!!! and when they removed his tire they found 4 nails in the tire and he never lost any air during that time!!! I used it on three of my bikes and never had any issues.... Buddy

Sorry for the wait I been having trouble with the net. Sorry about the info. on my Son He has a 99 Trans-am and yes his trans. went out he lost third-fourth gears he has rev.-low-second so he was able to drive it to a near by Motel I left 6pm after posting on here and drove over night to get to him which was 6am the next morning once I got there I look the car over and saw where his leak was coming from looks to be his trans. tail housing is cracked and leaking pretty good wont know much more until I pull it out and tear it down for more info. I rented a U-Haul car hauler and then took him to the Flagstaff Airport and he made it to Camp Pendleton that day and I drove back home which took longer with the trailer and car but I made it back in late last night and after 1800+miles I am tired and make to my day worse once I got in from the trip I found my Dads dog had gotten ran over so I buried him today Thanks for asking and trying to help

He dint know where he was at other than being by I-40 so I am waiting for him to call me back he said he would look at his gps and let me know where hes at If I need help I'm hoping someone in AZ can help me out as he is heading back to Camp Pendleton I will post what I find out asap my phone number is in my profile
