How to Install Traxxion Dynamics Tip Over Protection Kit for 2018+ Honda Goldwing by Max McAllister

[@ericmichl3352]

Followed the instructions to the letter. The only thing I did differently is I peeled the adhesive backing off as I went while attaching each piece to the bike. This allowed me to make any adjustments along the way. Which wasn't necessary because I pre-mounted each piece and marked the margins with tape. So I had a pattern to follow that guaranteed a good outcome.

[@robertwhitemoto]

Max thank you for developing this great product. By now you would have seen Cruiseman's video of the installation. These things look factory and I have more peace of mind now. Again, thank you.

[@Traxxion]

Yes, I saw that. Glad you like them, I put a tremendous amount of effort into them. It was great that they were "scared"... I encourage people to practice practice practice the motions before you go "live" and pull the backing off to apply them.

[@hornet224]

Nothing is worse than getting your bike scuffed from a tip over. This is a great product solution that can save thousands of dollars in repairs to your mirrors and paniers. Looks OEM.

[@wenditaylor2354]

Mine arrives in about an hour! Can't wait to get it all applied, as a solution this seems way superior to having to put big ugly crash bars around my pretty wing. Thanks Max for bringing these improvements to us.

[@Traxxion]

I agree. Crash bars just look awful. Doesn't matter who makes them or what they cost.

[@lmac5]

I just received the complete Kit. I'm looking forward to training and putting into practice what I learned in this video. It cost me a little more than the advertised price, because I had to pay customs fees, but I think it will be worth it. Thanks.

[@Traxxion]

I hope you never need to use it!

[@marioseguin6747]

Finally had the weather on my side to do the install. I first had to buff off my nano ceramic coating for the strips to adhere as recommended. Followed your instructions and was quite simple. I have the Iridium grey Bagger and it looks very good, like... factory good!!! Thanks!!!

[@Traxxion]

That's the highest compliment I can ask for!

[@apriliajo5030]

Thank-You AGAIN for another engineering marvel for us Wingers! 8/Prep-8 looks great and as tested is great! I know you haven't done a "speed-test" yet but no-need... "those items even make the bike look faster sitting still!" 💪😎

[@Traxxion]

Thanks again!

[@buffalosoldiers7575]

Thank You again for making something that would help protect the bike from a tip-over. Honda could have easily designed a metal guard like they have been putting on the previous Goldwings.

[@dangerousdaveparker9525]

Great product. Looks like it came on the bike from the factory. Easy installation process, too. Thank you Max.

[@Traxxion]

You are welcome!

[@VincentGuerrieri]

I have damaged two saddlebag lids when I dropped the bike while standing still. (One time was when I tried to put it on the center stand) I was horrified to watch you purposely tip your bike over and when I saw the results, I immediately decided to become a customer. Your instructions are clear and the cautions are most important. This will be the Christmas present for the Gold Wing.

[@Traxxion]

Glad to hear it!

[@richthereturnrider6737]

Great job Max. I think this was a long anticipated product. I am a big fan of the cone course and have damaged bags and mirror. I went to another product Worldmotop drop guards I been promoting on my channel but this product looks good. I think the price is fair but I just like to wait a little when products are new. Thanks a lot for all the work and development that went into this.

[@Traxxion]

I bet the farm on this product... if people don't buy it, we'll be out of business.

[@belvedererob]

Great how-to instructions. I'm so impressed with your detail. My order is coming. Thanks Max!

[@Traxxion]

Awesome, thank you!

[@FREE_PUREBLOOD333]

Looks great and performs great by watching your tests previously. I own a Yamaha FJR 1300 and from experience it's mirror casings and side cases that take most damage from a tip over drop.

[@Traxxion]

Thanks!

[@kevinrobb86]

You could use masking tape to give you the line to follow before applying it, but looks nice when its on

[@Traxxion]

I thought about that, but if you touch the part to the tape, it will stick to it and you'll mess it up. You have the line on the ridge of the bag to follow, it should be fine.

[@sandimcmillan1627]

This looks like something I must have. Do you ship to Canada

[@Traxxion]

Yes we do. But don't be mad at us about Canadian Customs! They are worse than the Mafia!

[@hulonposey1693]

Max, this may sound picky bit i thought i would see if you’ve encountered this yet. I have a 2018 air bag model and the saddlebags are pen stripped. To install your kit would cover a portion of the stripping on the rear of the bag. Thanks for your thoughts.

[@Traxxion]

It's a valid question. It will go over that. I don't know why you couldn't cut the tip off and shape it a bit too leave the stripe exposed

[@aldrusso2817]

Nice tutorial. You may want to put the link to the kit in the description.

[@Traxxion]

Thanks, will do!... of course, our site is down for the next 10 minutes or so... I'll get it done.

[@Traxxion]

Done!

[@Myrune1]

That really looks good. I'm choking a bit on the price, but your argument about replacement cost has merit.

[@Traxxion]

It's 2 sides... $225 per side with spare parts.

[@donaldremington3737]

I was sideswiped on the right side with 6000 damage The saddlebag door got vertical damage! I think your product might have saved it. Retail it was over 7 hundred. The whole right side was a mess 😮

[@Traxxion]

For that type of damage, it remains to be seen how they will help... we'll just have to hear the stories as they roll in!

[@donaldremington3737]

@@Traxxion Other than cosmetic damage it was still in place and worked. The mirror was of course destroyed

[@meredithchapman3227]

What about the flat black unit?

Not sure what you mean...

[@RobertoPugliese]

Hi, for Goldwing Tour 2024, is this protection fine? thanks

[@Traxxion]

Yes, all Goldwings from 2018 to 2028 (at least).

[@hulonposey1693]

I would have to cut off about 4-5 inches of the protection strip. ??

[@Traxxion]

Why?

[@hulonposey1693]

@@Traxxion To keep from covering the pin striping. If you look at the saddlebags on a 2018 airbag model you can see what i mean.

[@Traxxion]

@@hulonposey1693 I ddon't recall it being 4 or 5 inches... but if that is the case, I would not cut it. The forward area of the saddlebag is where the damage occurs. I can understand if you don't like the look. We'll be selling the mirror kit separately in the future once we get orders filled for the whole kit.

[@planecrash3372]

Awesome Video!

[@macgeek2112]

nice solution. Now I just need a GW.

Details, details...

[@ericx7476]

Wow that looks like it could be a factory kit 👍

[@Traxxion]

That's the highest compliment.

[@BobUriarte]

Hi Max, I received the tip over kit today. I had my bike Ceramic coated at purchase. Any suggestions on how to remove the coating before application? Any advise will be sincerely appreciated! Thanks.

[@Traxxion]

Hi Bob, I don't have any tips on that. There are many brands and I would get with the manufacturer or installer of the brand you used to get guidance.

[@briansharrison]

ordered mine maybe first for uk

[@marksimmons33]

Hey Max I have the Corbin large lids, you think the saddlebag protectors will work?

[@Traxxion]

I sure hope so. If you buy a set and they don't fit up, just return them. Buy let me know how they work if they do fit.

[@gregoryjones3072]

This is brilliant and so well engineered. I’m just a slight bit disappointed the tool isn’t included in the price. Not a deal breaker but has me hesitant.

[@Traxxion]

The tools save as much or more money than the protectors!

[@chocolate1126969]

Can I order mine today, how much does it cost and how do I order it?

[@rogerbivins9144]

If $150 is 35% of the price then doing the math if I'm correct is around $428.

[@Traxxion]

$449.95, Links added to description.

[@will.I.AmonYT]

Will the primer damage the finish on the matte painted bikes?

[@Traxxion]

It's used in all automotive paint applications.

[@Traxxion]

It's 3M Primer 94, you can research it.

[@will.I.AmonYT]

Thank you sir

[@F6B_ADVENTURES]

Talked to some people about this and they were kinda pushed away by dr evils $449 price tag for some plastic.. how did you come up with that price point?

[@Traxxion]

Cost of development plus cost of materials divided by a guess at how much time I get to sell them before the Chinese steal my work. Cost of a door molding for a Lexus?

[@scuollo]

Yep. I just had side guard moulding installed on my Subaru by the dealer… about $300. So Max isn’t far off considering his scale and higher quality and better function.

[@sebcarol1]

I love the concept, but $450 seems steep.

[@Traxxion]

$225 per side with spare parts.

Hi Max. I am interesten in buying different things from your shop,eg engine guard,dipstick and want ist sent to germany The price of both products is 178. USD the cost for shipping is 185,00 USD You might understand why that does not make any. sense. Such a shame as I would want even more but at those costs it's not worth it.

[@Traxxion]

I understand, it is a bad situation. Please contact my Sales Manager, Dan Anderson: [e-mail] Give him the list of everything you want, and we will find the best box that will bring the best price and let you know what it might cost.

[@azmotorcop]

Anyone who says it’s expensive, go to partzilla and price the parts it protects and then labor to tear it down during repair. Oh and don’t forget downtime from riding. Cheap insurance, literally 1/2 the cost of many deductibles without the claim ❤

[@Traxxion]

That's what I thought...
