Always wanted to bass blast on a bike just for kicks. Its just something U do not see. I set out to have a better amp chip, to replace Mickey Mouse chip, in the cheap as chips unit, that would not even run the Polk speakers I installed. Ended up completely re wiring system, twin 47Ah batteries, hig...

G'day to All! :D Here in the Oz we ride on the wrong (or left) side of the road, this makes it difficult I can relate to that, over here it's nod city. When passing on a dual carriageway or motorway, they will give a wave as they pass by. I am pondering on wiring my skeleton pillion right elbow to ...

You have not mentioned the fully charged battery voltage, before and after fitting. You have not mentioned the charge rate (unless I have missed something). Fit a fully charged battery, check the voltage, and the charge rate as soon as it starts, leave the test meter connected until it cuts out, and...

Great review.

But this was brilliant

My wife told me, "just go get a good one that won't die!"

Really? Go buy tools? Well, OK, if you insist...

I would not mind one of those.

Depends upon the "few problems", and the service history of the "Looks good to go". To me, good to go, is nothing needing servicing that is near due or overdue.
Can you check MOT history in the US

The way Deputy did it may be fine for him and many others, each to their own. But taping washers between the lid and inner cover void space, is testimony to how good the design and fitting instructions are. It is to me as if BBP could not be bothered to take the inner cover off, did not fancy people...

You may need to modify the fittings, but definitely fit it as Viking suggested. The instructions do not hint, they instruct to drill through the inner cover, what a load of rubbish. Probably afraid to put in writing to tell someone to remove the inner cover and locking staples, because they know wha...

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.
