ummm, me thinks you have the packing order list all knackered. Big Blue should be the very last thing that goes in for the winter.....that way, all yee need do, is open the garage door and fire her up and go. I am sure you meant summer, AZ, which would be and sounds easier I must admit, you possibl...

Only been on sale 5 minutes, be interesting to see how much rock damage is caused when more hit the road next year.

Blaming that on a rock is like calling a chicken a horse because it hatched in a stable

You can't fool me. Besides, I've got it all written down. :lol: That made me laugh Dave, reminds me of me at times. My garage is only 8' wide but 60' long. Decide to go out for the day on Big Blue (I am retired so can do this almost every day, part of the reason Big Blue hibernates early). Move SWM...

So sorry to hear that birdman. easy to think it cannot happen to you, or you never think about it. Until it happened to someone I used to work with many years ago. Went to have a look and thought 'bloody hell'. Caused by a washing machine in his garage, that was turned on before his wife went to wor...

I haven't seen a way to do this on the 01-10 but why wouldn't there be a way ? Some way to have an sd card or flash drive and control from handlebars instead of the j&m and the Chinese cheap thing. There is a way, but it is DIY. Have to realise the first 1800 rolled off the production line, the sam...

yup pressed the mute button it got LOUD real fast lol

PMSL.....

My DRL's are illegal during lighting hours, I have them wired up to a normally closed relay, they go off when I turn the headlights on. Then the case guard and cowl fogs, I can turn on with either high or low beam.

First thing I would do is put a multimeter on the switch. Strip one down and you may think, damn, that is flagship Honda quality design and production right there. I would not.

Put the bikes on the center stand and do an oil change before putting her away. I rather look forward to any servicing in the spring, when the weather is nice but the roads are still grey with salt residue. After more than 30 years on GoldWing solo's, my right hip and the GoldWing centre stand got ...

I have the same, sounds a bit like chain slap/rattle. Always done it, even after strip down for transmission parts replacement, I ignore it.

Been there, done that. How many colours have you tried?. Are you mixing the base coat yourself and adding your own metal flake?.What type of paint are you going to use?. Are you going for mirror lacquer finish, or a little orange peel?. Going to look bostin'. Not married with kids then :) If you are...

Will not be using mine now until the spring, just disconnected the batteries, and covered it, may roll it back and forth a foot or so occasionally.

I put a battery charger socket there, also used it to plug in satnav.

But are both owners sure that a small rock kicked up and broke the engine case? Could it have made a noise as the case cracked on its own, which sounded like the crack of a rock hitting the case? This is interesting enough that perhaps there is a problem with too thin cases and shifter area support...

one word sentences aren't worth a damn.

Neither is the 2018 GoldWing MO, should have just beefed up the Pan, because that is all it is.

I do not get this one.

EML out of England was offering a Leading Link front end for goldwing trikes that has a 14" car tire on it.

Should be standard on all Goldwing trike conversions, raking and Progressive springs are ok, but bleedin robbery for the money they charge.

My tuppence worth. Always used Garmin, not saying they are the best, but always worked well, always had lifetime updates. Garmin Express always flashes up when updates are ready to be installed. I use Garmin Base Camp and Honda Trip Planner, if I want to plan my exact route, and just download it to ...

I did the fan mod on mine, massive difference, especially on parades, and the fans are not pushing the air out the front against the natural flow of air. On 2 occasions during a parade my temp started to climb more than I was comfortable with, and had to pull over for the fans to kick in. Being able...

Happy wife happy life - even if I agree to the name she's still not guaranteed to be happy, something about me doing to many stupid things.

I think your wife and my wife are twins PMSL

Just finished installing better wheel bearings on the trailer, there was slight play when I bought it, so tried some cheapo bearings six quid a wheel, as rubbish as I figured they might have been. So I bought some genuine NTN premier bearings, my god, the difference is night and day. Anyway, took th...

Yup, amazed at the amount of 1800 side covers I have seen with broken off lugs, when I bought mine, it had lugs broken off both sides.

Time for a new front tyre, I said when I fitted the Metzeler, the next front tyre would be an Avon Cobra AV71. The Metzeler was far from bald, but just down past the wear indicators. I noticed immediately the difference in the profile, the tread area being less convex than standard front tyre. Not t...

One thing I must mention is the timing belts. Unless you know with absolute certainty when they were changed, I would replace them with Honda or Gates. I rode 1500's for over 20 years, each one I bought, the same day ordered timing belts, because the belt history was not known for certain. Big Berth...
