Essential Goldwing Mods - How hard can it be?

I remember my first Goldwing I bought in 2008, I did exactly the same fitted carpets in cases, why people will ask? well because like you I got tied up in the whole Goldwing experience and I loved it. I kept my wing for two years then moved back to sports tourers but I always had a feeling I'd return to a Goldwing one day. Thanks to your video "I'm baggered" and me feeling I was riding with you on board and the overall presentation of your video, I'm now waiting on delivery a 2021 Goldwing B (Okay, like you, the colour wouldn't be my first choice but it's the only colour offered), your video reminded of the Goldwing experience, now Honda has updated it to the 21st century (electric screen - was always a bug bear for me without one) and all the electronic gadgets I can't wait for mine to arrive. Keep up the good work on videos always interesting with facts etc.

I've had more bikes over the years than I care to think of, but this Goldwing I've ordered has me the most excited.

Only two Honda branded accessories we have bought are the saddle bag liners and the usb cable that installs in the left saddle bag. The saddle bag liners are about as useless as the non removable clamshell saddlebags. Usb cable rocks! And was priced good. Enjoy your Wing videos.

[@wonderwing5139]

@@TheMissendenFlyer On my US Spec 2018 Tour 6MT we only got one USB in the glove box. The Airbag bikes got the USB put in the trunk. Honda offered a Aux #2 USB cable accessory that installed in the left saddle bag or the trunk. Aux #2 port can be used to charge devices and you can use it to play music stored on a USB thumb drive. But you can't use USB #2 for Carplay or Android Auto. And it can't be used to update the bikes near useless navi software and features. I use my Aux #2 port to keep a 26.5K and 10k mah power bricks charged or have a 128gb thumb drive plugged in for music. But seeing I don't use Hondas horribly outdated rubbish tech much I haven't had a thumb drive plugged in much the last year or better.

What Honda was thinking was.... let's put useless grab handles on the all new 2018+ along with a smaller trunk, smaller saddle bags, an uncomfortable seat, no fog lights etc etc., then we'll gradually change everything back and each time call it an upgrade leaving buyers of the preceding model to want to buy the new retro-fit part at an exorbitant price to "upgrade" their bike.

Brilliant ! The handles look to be worth the money. Carpets, not so much 😉 Hello to Mrs. Flyer 👋🏻

I learned that lesson some years ago!

I often hear how expensive BMW (GS owner here) parts are but Honda and Yamaha are just as expensive in my experience! Looking forward to Goldwing trip vids in the near future! :)

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

You and me both!

[@adriansmith3116]

Funny and good info. Well done hope we see more runs on the wing.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

You will!

I can imagine the interlude music being played outside a cafe in southern France, sipping a coffee with the bike gleaming in the riviera sunshine... maybe one day!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Wouldn't that be nice....I'm confident those times will come again (might be another year or two though)....

Great video Andy I’ve never found motor bike accessories to be cheap Triumph parts are just as expensive think that’s how they make extra profit from a bike.

Well indeed - how much is pannier carpet for a Triumph?
