1978 Goldwing--How do I remove the front light to replace the headlight bulb in a 1978 Goldwing 1000?

Jane L

We just bought a 1978 Goldwing and have some electric problems for our running lights and headlight. Any ideas what we should check? Also, someone messed with the rear lights and the pigtail is too short so it is very difficult to get it in and out. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Answer
On the headlight case, remove the 2 screws (5 & 7 o'clock #22)
Careful, don't loose the spacers #18
Pull the bottom of the headlight ring (#2) forward away from the bike.
Don't touch the glass of the halogen bulb.
The oils in your fingers will cause it to overheat and burn out.

Wires are to short - cut them and solder in some extensions.
Be more specific with your electrical problems.
Won't come on
Signals won't flash
Intermitent
Lights go out when high beam is turned on.
Etc.
It's like trying to solve a problem without knowing the question LOL

At 14 you can legally ride a 200W electic scooter ( with pedals) or an electric bike on the road, you do not need a license or mot or insurance ( though advisable) they do not need DVLA reg and you can legally ride them on cycle routes

Why did the government ban segways in canada on public property?

mman

I have always dreamed of having a segway but then I found out that you can't operate them on public property.
If they are dangerous why do they allow seniors to driver rascal scooters?

Answer
For the same reasons that they cannot be used in public in the UK: they are motorised vehicles, but do not count as pavement-legal invalid scooters so cannot be used on pavements (US = sidewalks) and for road use they don't comply with the construction and use regulations so cannot be registered and insured (and taxed!) as road vehicles. They're also too heavy and cannot be propelled by the operator alone (such as by pedalling) to be classed as electric bicycles which are otherwise exempt from almost all contruction and use regulations.

The UK and Canada are not alone in the fact that Segways are effectively banned simply because they do not fall within any legislation which permits their use.

If they were more widely owned then there would likely be political pressure to get the laws changed, but for as long as they cost the same as a basic electric micro-car, tend to have a much shorter lifespan, appear to be horribly unreliable and very expensive to fix they will remain as a toy for rich people with their own places to use them.
