PARTS AND ADVICE FOR YOUR 'OLDEN GOLDIE'
An online source dedicated to Honda's amazing four cylinder Goldwings!
Your GL1000 carb tops are HORRIBLE!
Well, maybe not all that horrible but I guarantee that the buttons are certainly crazed a bit, discoloured more than a bit and generally ruining the look of the carb set, even if they are not actually leaking, just like the one here.
We can help with cosmetic improvements with our Beauty Buttons, but if the tops are cracked, they will cause running problems. See this Tech Tip for explanation.
Obviously, badly broken ones have to be replaced.
Doing a proper replacement for cracked tops is a far better option than covering with epoxy or sticking coins on top!
This is a supply AND fit service only. I do not supply the parts for self fitting.
This is a great addition to the standard carburettor rebuilding seen here:
Prices per set of four: $100 plus return shipping.

If you wish me to polish the vacuum caps, this will be done before fitting the buttons.
The cost for polishing a set of four is $45
If you are polishing them yourself, please do this before sending them.
This treatment should last 6 to 8 years if it is not scrubbed off.
Warm soapy water and pat dry is the best answer.
To get this service, email me first to arrange a date.
Remove the slides and mark each slide and respective cap with a Magic Marker or similar on the inside.
Carefully wrap the tops only, in bubble wrap or similar, pack them securely and send to the Glasgow UK address in the 'Get Help' page.
Remember: If doing the polishing yourself, do it before sending them.
Once they are finished you will receive a Paypal invoice. You do NOT need to have a Paypal account to be able to pay this, only a credit or debit card.
NOTE: USA and CANADA residents. Send yours directly to Pistol Pete.
