Will this alternator fit a 1988 Goldwing? If not which alternator do I need? Can I get the replacement bumpers from Amazon also?

It is supposed to fit if you change the mounting bolts to ones from later years. (Quote from Goldwing website... "The difference relates to the mounting bolts. In '88-'89 the bolts are shouldered bolts. In '90-up the bolts are not shouldered. If you're willing to enlarge the mounting bolt holes in the '90-up alternator, it's an easy fit to the '88 -'89. Another option that some folks use is to change the mounting bolts to a non-shouldered bolt" I would search a few of the Goldwing websites to help with your installation. As far as ordering the replacement bumpers, I ordered mine from my Honda dealer and got them in 3 days. As far as this Lactrical alternator, it works very well and I am very satisfied. Best wishes...and good luck with your install. DW

YES, YES, YES!!! This alt WILL DEFINITELY fit a 1988 GL1500. I have an 88 and this alt is GREAT!! All you need to do is get the 3 bolts from a later year 1500. You do NOT need to get the dowel pins later models need, just get the bolts. Unless you have a drill press do NOT enlarge the holes in the alt and use your 1988 bolts. I did not replace the bumpers and have no problem. If I needed the bumpers, I would have gone to a dealer or ordered from an online dealer.

I apologize but I cannot answer your question directly. Mine did not function so I would have a difficult time recommending the item. Also most modern vehicles have a larger than 90 amp alternator. You should be able to find the specs on yours by research. You could also go to an auto parts store and asking what amperage an OEM replacement alternator is.

The hardest part of putting in a new alternator is the bracket, you may need to make up a newone that will fit this alternator good luck

I do not know for sure. I would check your current Batteryand see the model number on the side. Yuasa is the OEM Battery for the Goldwing Gl1800. Also check your owners manual for the battery specs.

I tow an IceBear Magnum trike, it is a lot less weight than a Goldwing, at the cost of alternatives it is worth trying even if you beef it up or take it cautious. I tow mine to and from the shop or short range hauls, the shop owner was impressed to buy one for shop tow. Safety first!!

Plan on installing this on my 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Limited, 5.2L engine. Have added 30amps of off road lights and the existing alternator of 90 amps and 250,000 miles makes some noises (abnormal) when I switch the lights on, so I'm fairly sure upgrading the alternator is a wise choice. Is this a direct replacement or will I need to make any modifications? If modifications are necessary, what are they? advise? Thanks in advance. Backyard Mechanic....

Don't buy it. Mine didn't last one year on my 2007 Gold Wing. I went to Advance Auto and bought another one. It's been two years so far and no problems.

Yes, it fits. However, be sure to check the alignment of the wings (the ends where it bolts on) for the proper distance apart. In my case, I needed to spread it apart since it had been (I'm guessing) dropped on a corner edge in shipping, causing a slight misalignment which I simply spread back to the original distance with a hydraulic jack. Installation was about 45 minutes. There are (factory) plastic baffles under the car that have to be removed to make installation easier. These had to be slightly modified (cut) to reinstall.

If yours bolts then yes. The curve was not a perfect fit on my 2014 Goldwing. It's secure but not flush.

Is there a way you can find out how to contact them directly? If you can find a way please let me know. To answer your question does the bolt holes line up ? Is there room for the alternator to fit? Try to contact them before you try to install it.

Not sure. I went to a local body shop and they sold me some speed nuts to connect the wind spoiler under the bumper. They probably have those to.

I put this on my 88 honda goldwing gl 1500 all I had to do was drill out one of the holes for a shouldered bolt and it fit fine was very simple to do! I think it's the same seneriio for an 89 and all 90 and up it bolts on perfect with no mods

I took the bumper to a paint shop and had it painted. Give the vin number to the paint shop to match the color. It fit fine. Some of the grill parts were different but if fit. Just used the bolts from the old one.

I can't say for sure as I have not worked on a valkyrie, however the engine is basically the same. The alternator is slightly larger than the stock unit, however I had no problems getting to mount into the goldwing. Unless there is a clearance problem that I am not aware of I would not be afraid to try it.
