European Back Rack

This may have been asked before, but I’m not sure how to search it.

I’m returning from a Germany trip. Saw a few RR’s while there. I’m in the USA and have a 2024 RR.

They have an awesome “back rack” in Europe. Maybe it’s a light bar?

How do I get one in the US? I’m sure it covers the third brake light, but I’ll deal with that somehow.

Anyone done this?

83 Goldwing Carbs/Running

1983 Goldwing….again

I’m back. I’m restoring a 1983 Goldwing with my son. We’ve done everything on this bike. It’s back together but not running great, but will run.

We’ve turned every nut and bolt. New electronics (m unit), all new parts etc everywhere.

Just installed new ignition coils, plugs, plug wires and caps. OEM, not Amazon.

Have good spark everywhere.

Compression is at 120 on all cylinders.

New gas.

New starter.

New fuel pump (tested and working).

Timing is good.

Carbs have been rebuilt at least three times (but I’ll do it again). Floats are at 15mm. All new parts a couple times now.

Issue: it won’t run unless the choke is on. With choke on it will eventually idle at 2,500 RPM,s. Choke off it dies.

NEW SYMPTOM: carb tube on 2 & 4 get ice cold when running (1 & 3 get hot). They even get condensation on them from being so cold. Exhaust on both sides appears to blow good.

The idle jets are 3.5 turns out. Carbs are likely unbalanced though I can’t get it running good enough to rebalance (are there starting positions for the balance screws?). I did remove the brass screw on the bottom of carb 2 and it did drain gas.

Would love to get this running. Thoughts?
