WINGOVATIONS
INNOVATIVE PARTS FOR YOUR 'OLDEN GOLDIE'
Honda GoldWing Parts GL1000, GL1100, GL1200
PRODUCTS and SERVICES information
New parts for the GL1000, GL1100, GL1200. As well as the normal service items, we aim eventually to produce or source parts for the GL1000, GL1100 and GL1200 that are either very difficult or impossible to find new through the normal channels. More and more parts will come into this catagory as the bikes get older.
Reconditioned parts for the GL1000, GL1100 and GL1200. Parts will have been inspected, anything worn will be replaced if possible provided parts are available or repaired, cleaned, lubricated and painted, as necessary.
Quite obviously, as time goes on it will sometimes simply not be possible to bring a part back to 'as-new' condition, but a reconditioned part with marks, let's say, is a lot better than no part at all!
Currently there are a great many parts out there that are NOS (New Old Stock) or used but in very good condition. A search on eBay will confirm that, but the big problem is one of logistics.
The vast majority of these bikes were sold in the United States, where there are many breakers of these machines, but it is a very expensive business to bring in parts especially the larger ones like, say, one frame.
Shipping, packaging, Customs Duty and V.A.T. all take the costs sky-high of bringing parts into the U.K.
Here you will find parts that are virtually impossible to get OEM from anywhere. The frustration of searching for such parts made me realise that if I was having a problem, so were many other people. So this is the start of trying to source or manufacture such parts.
Where possible, we hope to offer an improved version. Things have changed a lot since the GL1000 was first designed in the early seventies; better design, improved or alternative materials etc. Already we have a kit of parts to upgrade your swinging arm bearings on the GL1000.
I am not the only one with this desire. Others have been hard at work doing the same thing and producing some very nice stuff, some of which you will find supplied from here but also, on the Links page, there are other sites featuring parts that we feel you are better served with by being supplied direct.
GL1000, GL1100 and GL1200 used parts will usually have been cleaned, inspected and passed as 'fit for the purpose with some input from the buyer'. No remedial work done to them, but they will not be junk! However, please remember that this is only my opinion; your assessment may differ!
Sorry, but mine is the one that counts!
Having said that, we will always try to resolve any problems first, but in general, no returns on used parts. The descriptions of the parts will be as accurate as I can make them and , where possible, there will be pictures of the part. If you require additional information or pictures, please contact us first before purchasing. We will always try to help in that way.
Please remember that photos can make the parts look better than in reality.
We will shortly be supplying our USA customers with used parts, mainly GL1000, from our base in the USA. This a 'work-in-progress' thing so keep an eye on the shop pages.
We have many contacts in the States, which should help the supply situation. So, if you need a part, send me an email request for whatever you need and we will do our best to source it for you.
A lot of good used Goldwing parts are also being thrown away due to the inability or unwillingness of the owners to refurbish them. If you have such parts, let's do a deal so that they can be recycled. What may seem like a bit of scrap today will be tomorrows rocking horse pooh!
It's surprising what can be done to turn apparent scrap to good parts with a bit of effort!
So, in the light of all that, go dig out all the old GoldWing stuff you no longer need, email me with what you have and let's get together to get that part out there to someone who is desperate for it.
Although this is a commercial site, the main impetus is to keep as many of our amazing dinosaurs in good health! You can do your bit too!
PLEASE REMEMBER WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE 'FOR SALE' PARTS AND THEIR PRICE, SOME OF THESE ARE OF NECESSITY MANUFACTURED IN SMALL BATCHES AND THEREFORE WILL COST CONSIDERABLY MORE THAN WHEN HONDA MADE THEM IN MILLIONS.
