Please keep in mind that anytime I share or give advise about a motorcycle, unless I state otherwise, I am always referring to GL1800's and no other.

Honda uses a variety of mounting bolts to mount their front fenders, cowling and body parts, many of which are very smilar in size but are only slightly different in length, shoulder diameter and length and thread size. If you don't pay close attention to EXACTLY which bolt came out of which hole, you will play hell getting your Goldwing back together without stripping a screw or hole or breaking a part. Also some bolts get dropped into the engine or cowling abbis, never to be seen again.
I see broken plastic parts, tabs, holes or missing screws on almost every Goldwing I work on. A good way to prevent mixing up bolts is to cut a piece of cardboard box for each section you disassemble and punch a hole for each bolt to track it's location. One for the right side fork/ fender bolts, left side fork/fender bolts, cowling, etc.
