Re: oil gear oil
I use synthetic gear oil too (I use the Amsoil Severe Gear). I use a 60cc catheter-tip syringe (Amazon). Makes reaching "uphill" to access the gear oil fill chamber a snap; the larger tip on the end of the syringe administers the gear oil into the chamber easily. Also allows me to measure ...

Re: New to the Goldwing Doc Site
Welcome to the forum.
Lots of good people here who will help you out. I've certainly learned a lot.
You'll love your new "Wing".

Re: Christmas Gift Motorcycle Washing Soap
I've used the Pro Honda Spray Cleaner and Polish for years.
Works great, easy to use. 1 can lasts a long time. My Goldwing is a 2007; I still get compliments on how good the paint looks.

The way I see it, a motorcycle is cheaper than years of therapy, achieving far better results.

I tend to slow down initially (don't want to hit the dog) and then speed up to get away from it.

Re: Antifreeze leak
I'll add a question to this thread:
Do people tend to change their hoses at a certain point or do they just leave them until there's a leak? I have a 2007 Wing and it's been on my mind.

I've been a nurse for 31 years and spend considerable time working in a COVID unit in a hospital. This isn't the first pandemic we've seen and sadly it won't be the last. No, PPE isn't perfect, but people who refuse to wear a mask are unknowingly contributing to how many cases we have in this countr...

Just Wings - Zephyrhills, FL
Was riding through Zephyrhills, FL today and stopped at Just Wings, got to meet Goldwing Greg. This was the first time I've met someone on the Goldwing Docs forum in person. Had a good visit and learned a lot about the GL 1800's. If you need parts I bet Greg has them. I enjoyed getting to see the sh...

Re: COVID = More Motorcyling?
I'm riding about the same amount this year. I typically ride by myself, making it easy to find a country road and "socially distance" from others. Would like to ride to work more but it's been pouring down late in the day this summer, making the trip home wet almost every day. I typically ...

Re: IS LOUD CLUTCH SOUND NORMAL ???
I have a 2007 and live just over an hour from you. Agree that the Goldwing will shift more smoothly at certain RPM's (I've learned over time). I use Amsoil 10W40 and have had no problems, I've had good luck with full synthetics. The motorcycle definitely shifts more smoothly right after I change the...

My Sunpass is as well; you're allowed to assign it to more than one vehicle. I have both the car and the motorcycle registered (license plate and description).

I use the EZ Toll mesh holder for my Sunpass (can see the EZ Toll on Amazon). Just place my Sunpass in the mesh bag, slide the mechanism down to cinch it tight, and attach to the area just above the gas tank (will also attach to the handlebars or other area of the bike easily). Works every time, plu...

I'm 55 (not sure exactly where that falls on the "Older Men Scale", lol but I'm getting there) and only 5' 5" tall. I'm able to handle my Goldwing very well. I think it's balanced well and has pretty good parking lot manners as bikes go, you just have to take it slow and steady. As se...

Re: Why millenials don't ride motorcycles
Agree that some of the younger folks ride. Here in Florida I see some younger riders, on smaller bikes mostly, usually commuting to work or school. I assume their bikes serve as cheap, economical transportation as compared with a car. We have lots of people in central Florida who ride as the weather...
