    When the time comes to rebuild or replace this engine, are there
    Goldwing rebuilders with known track record's online?

    Incidentally,I recently had my motorhome engine replaced with rebuild
    from Motorworks,just had someone remove my old engine and pallet it
    then ship to Spokane,wa..they sent an engine from their stock (or
    return your engine rebuilt)via motor-freight,I'm hoping this can be
    done with the GW engine.

    Better to get someone that has a shop that you can verify. Shipping can
    be costly relative to the value of the motor. A 1500 shouldn't be
    anywhere near wearing out yet unless you're up above 200,000 miles.
    Not likely. They just don't die that frequently.

    Just like anything though,parts fail hence my question,the only places
    I've found in the last few days have been Honda shops and you can guess
    how expensive that would be,even if they had the time to do it I would
    not want to go that route,they aren't specialized enough. It's been
    very difficult locating even a single rebuilder who specializes in
    boxer four and six cyl honda engines..maybe I'm just not searching
    properly?

    No, I think that you're running into a combination of the relative
    rarity of boxer engines in Hondas, and the fact that Honda engines
    (generally) just don't need to be rebuilt that much. Companies don't
    specialize in them because there's not enough business.

    I don't have the info handy, but Wing Worx in California is owned by a
    long-time Wing specialist.
