Ram air modification
Some sport bikes have Ram air system to bring more air to engine with the speed, like a "natural" turbo. These are openings on the front fairing. Does someone has attempted to do a modification of the air inlets of GL1800 to increase amount of air, and power, brought to engine? If so, does...

Re: Things to look for when buying a used GL1800
Check all the fonctions, accessories and lightings that they operate properly; troubleshouting and fixing electric problems can be the hell with so much wiring running under the body... Be aware that changing the air filter is a big job that an handyman can do after viewing videos and instructions t...

Re: 2018 Cleveland Motorcycle Show Report - Pictures! Video!
Thanks for pictures and comments about new GW. It looks that some covers are absent on the bottom sides of the engine, to cover rear brake oil tank and parts of the engine, as these covers are on the former GL1800? Are there good grips to ease the pulling up of the bike if we drop it? Passenger grip...

Re: Spark Plugs
I suggest a trick to avoid to crosstread the engine head while installing spark plugs: insert the plug in a clean and short plastic hose (like the one to use to bleed brakes or gasoline hose) and start counterclockwise to feel the hole and gently clockwise to make sure that the plug is well engaged ...

Re: 2017 GL1800
I suggest 6 speeds gearbox or automatic double clutch transmission as on some others Honda; a lighter weight to ease low speed riding; direct fuel injection and a (turbo ?) for more low end torque, more HP, and a better fuel economy (Honda has developped direct injection for cars). For a better fuel...

Re: goldwing 1800 wobble
May a added bracket over the fender can stop or lower the wobble? Or it's done by tire wear (rear tire 7000 km and front tire about 18 000 km)?

Re: 4"x6" speakers in the dash?
Does someone have replaced OEM front speaker for GL1800 (2001-2005) for a better sound? I know that latest GL1800 has 2-way front speakers playing better than former Wings. Thanks for your ideas.
