Those front brakes are not supposed to be as bad as you described. I've owned every model of Goldwing made, 1000 CC, 1100, 1200, 1500 and currently a 1800, worked in a Honda dealership for over 30 years. Never had a issue with the front brakes not wanting to stop. Something isn't right!

You are correct, I have own a GL1000, 1500 & now 1800. Check the wear on the rotor, if good surface it and put on new pads. 60% or better is the front brakes, so please get then working as they should.

[@SterlingWheel]

Shadetree was the inspiration to get my own Goldwing. A 1980 with a full Vetter kit I call POVERTYGLIDE. I bought it in an emergency because my other bike was waiting on parts from Japan. My Fiance learned to ride on it and enjoys it as much as I do. Death to second mortgage motorcycles, POVERTYGLIDE lives!

After riding my Roommates 82 I built a Dresser out of a 78CB 750 Superbike. I ordered the RC 836 kit and rebuilt it with a Windjammer, Footboards, Saddle Bags and Trunk. The trunk held 2 car batteries, 3 Amps a 12" sub cut in the bottom and 2 forward facing 6x9's. 2- 8" and Horn Tweeters in the fairing. All with a Superbike Suspension and a fresh +100cc Superbike Engine.

[@hueysegura6956]

I had a 1983 Aspencade gl1100 for many years in the 80’s and into the 90’s. I never had front brakes that acted like you are describing. Mine worked great. Might want to have them checked before you give it away.

[@Sunnbobb]

Agreed. I have several bikes and the wing front brake is comparable to all of them. Also the handling in the parking lot is not supposed to be as depicted. Lastly the wobble at 35 is indicative of worn head bearings, or misaligned final drive. I wonder if the suspension was aired up properly and the tires had correct pressure? Next time you go to give a wing away, fly me out for a couple days and I'll get all the electronics, brakes and such working proper. I'm serious. Google Sunnbobb Goldwing.. :)

[@JohnSmith-uy7sv]

exactly. All brakes are supposed to work, either separately or together. Something is wrong with that bike. Needs bled or cleaned out of the calipers and brake lever area.

[@wrbBrooks]

1987 Goldwing, smashing bit of kit. So much fun watching Whitney start falling for the old girl. The big boats can do that to ya. 😉

[@300zxdriver]

The front brakes not doing anything…..is not normal. It must need brake pads or more. Also it might need steering head bearings or they need to be tighten. I was a Honda mechanic for 20 years. I’ve driven hundreds of goldwings.

[@asianconservativelawyer1531]

That’s what I was thinking, I had an 86 gl1200 and the brakes were perfectly fine.

[@Kingsoupturbo]

Totally, or the front tire is ancient causing the wobble, I always read the 80's wings had good brakes overall.

Whitney needs to find a nice GL1500 6 cyl. Those are the peak GW times. She took the Gold pill.

[@countryjoe3551]

do you prefer a GL 1500 over a GL 1800? I've ridden both and bought a GL 1800........

[@MostlyInteresting]

@@countryjoe3551 well of course the newer one is nicer but the 1500 has some nostalgia with six-cylinder in a more modern setup... Also they can be had way cheaper than the 1800

[@starseeddeluxe]

I really think the 4 cylinder bikes were nice looking bikes. The GL1500 bikes are incredible engineering but they are so ugly, not just a little ugly, but actually painful to look at.

[@pidjones]

I had an '86 SEi (GoldWing)- the 1200 GoldWings had great front and rear brakes - just need maintained and bled properly.

[@VS666]

the goldwing has been a goal of mine ever since i sat on a 2023 last year. what an incredible and very handsome bike. the black on black matte metallic feels like it was meant for me. i can afford one now but i want to wait so it feels more special 😅

[@edgardomatos6923]

great video, I have the 86 aspencade 1200. when they run , they just run awesome .. safe riding yall ...respect the power

[@MrAmartin8]

Two things that will take the front end wobble out . The bike prolly has a good number of miles on it without ever having the steering stem bearings cleaned , greased and properly adjusted . Also a proper fork brace helps . I owned one of these bikes for 27 years and know a little about them . They are a great machine but with some limitations in the handling department .

ProTip: if you wax or coat the windshield and your visor with a product like Rain X or ceramic coating the wind will clear the water off as you ride and make it a bit easier to see the cars swerving in front of you.

[@Rogan_Dorn]

I use the ole jug of Turtle Wax Quick Shine for this very purpose. I've heard Rain X can cloud the acrylic on some windshields, so never tried it.

[@PetrolJunkie]

@@Rogan_Dorn I typically use the ceramic coating you use for paint protection. Lasts an entire riding season without any issues so far. Detailer just did it the first time and when I took the bike back for a maintenance retouch of some areas they recoated the windshield at that time. Works better than Rain X. Rain X, possibly. I've used it on glass without any issues. I haven't seen any problems with it on plastic trim. It's essentially just spray on wax so I don't see why it would cause a problem. Maybe someone will chime in with hands on experience. The other option is the stuff made for aircraft canopys which are almost always lexan on small planes. I used to use that years ago because I had left-over from my two-seater. I'm surprised there isn't someone selling a product in their detailing catalog to be frank.

Josh always buys refurbished batteries from that one shop in Tampa that actually refurbishes batteries.

[@bryanmiller2023]

If you are a person with multiple bikes in the garage I can kinda get the refurbished battery but probably not a wise decision on a bike intended to take you super long distances away from that garage. 😅

Ha ha! This was fun! I'm glad you two are keeping the "dynamic duo" energy on both your channels. Looking forward to more of Whitney's thoughts on the Wing. You really need a graphic for when Whitney is "buffering". Soo funny. Personally I find the Goldwing fascinating also. I've never ridden one. Seems like an absolute barge but I can imagine there is no substitute when you are doing hundreds of miles in a day. I do like the idea of packing more snacks... my silly ass still rides sport bikes so I have to wear a backpack or stop for snacks like a newb.

[@nevsmate8663]

I currently ride a '81 GL1100 Goldwing & a '97 GL1500C Valkyrie. Heavy bikes at a standstill/slow manoeuvring, but once on the move the weight disappears, mainly due to the low centre of gravity with these flat fours & flat sixes. Have no problems with brakes on either bike and regularly create sparks in the twisties.

[@scottmcfarlane5838]

I ride the 1986 Aspencade. Once you have had it for a while it carves corners very well. It’s my Sunday wind therapy. I’m 69.

[@stevereubart8255]

Man, this brings back some stuff. After learning to ride on a 1986 Yamaha Radian, I traded it for a 1987 Gold Wing Interstate. I had that bike until 2005 and had only one issue with it (the alternator died). That reliability sold me on Hondas and I've been riding them ever since.

[@burgersquid]

I like the idea that Whitney was born wondering whats up with Goldwings, haha

[@nuttyDesignAndFab]

dude the steering wobbling at speed is indicative of very serious suspension issues. Check the head bearings! check also the front fork alignment, and the rear wheel to front alignment. My money is on head bearings though since she said the steering feels "lumpy"

after having a V45 Magna, a V65 Magna in the past I now have a VT1100 Shadow. well I test rode a 2010 GL1800 Gold Wing and bought it. I also was shocked at how well a 900# Gold Wing handles the twisties in the mountains here in Colorado. If Whitney wants to ride a GW from this century let me know. P.S. the brakes on mine take only 1 or 2 fingers to stop!!. Even before I started riding I had always wanted an Aspencade.

[@countryjoe3551]

I agree. Any GL 1800 would be shockingly nimble compared to the earlier Gold Wings. I owned a 2001 GL 1800 for a couple years and live in the Arkansas Ozarks. They are a complete hoot in the twisties.

Josh always has battery issues. I love lithium batteries. No corrosion, no explosive hydrogen gas, 3-5 times longer life, charge in minutes vs hours, lighter, longer warranty, increased CCA over lead Acid, no trickle charger needed, deep cycle crank(full power to 5% discharge vs lead acid dead at 70%)

[@nicerides9224]

I bought a lithium battery to save some weight on my Shiver 750. It was just under 1kg vs 4kg stock. The only downside is needing to warm it up a bit on colder mornings. On really cold mornings the first attempt to start barely kicks over the motor. Then after 2 or 3 more attempts with each one getting stronger it finally fires up. A bit disconcerting at first until someone told me that was normal for lithium batteries.

[@dannylewis8785]

86 aspy here. Bleeding the brakes plus new pads should make brakes work fine.. Something might be wrong with yours. Toss the air shocks for progessive 412 and prog fork springs. It really handles pretty good if you do that

Heya Spite! That trip to NC on the Street Rod didn't go as planned. 😂 Throttle cable broke in Atlanta and nobody had a replacement. Wound up taking a plane the rest of the way. The good news is that the dealer gave me a great deal to get me on a brand new Nightster to get me home!

[@nadrojfan]

That bike is epic! I've watched sooo many episodes of Shadetree riding the Raspberry buffet!

[@RinoStoof]

I have the 84 version of this bike, love it. A set of new pads on all three callipers (disk on the back as well) made that front brake almost aggressive, It can stop pretty quickly! Check the headstock bearings, that can make it feel a little loose. Not a speed monster but I may have touched 190km/h one time with the wind in the back.. To get it to really pull you have to rev it all the way to 7000, 7500 is the redline. The only thing is that it won't lean over as far as my previous bike (CX500) as the exhaust will scrape the road. So I've had to adjust my cornering which is probably a good thing 🙂. Jacking up the rear shocks does help somewhat. My ride to work is 35 mins on a twisty road, love it! With some care that bike will go for years!

[@stugatz2664]

you gotta use the rear brake pedal.. the braking system on that bike works very well once you get used to it i will say that trick is, to step on the rear brake \( it does the rear caliper and one side of the front brakes, then as you start slowing down, apply the front brake too. then keep using the front brake as you come to a stop and get off the rear brake once you stop.. then use the pedal to hold position at the stop. they handle very well ride very nice and you can throw it around with ease once you get used to the way it works! have fun!!

[@Daveinet]

A couple of things. First, crank that thing about to about 80 mph and grab as much front brake as your can. Do that 4 or 5 times to break the glazing off the pad. Or just take the pad off and sand it. Secondly, you always use both brakes when stop - ALWAYS on ANY bike. That is how the bike is designed. This allows you to lock the front wheel if you have to, with less effort as you get "power assist" from the foot peddle. Its actually a pretty good design. Secondly get that bike on a real freeway and have her roll the throttle on from about 60 mph to 90 mph. She won't believe how quick that beast is on a high speed roll on. I'm a little surprised at how uncomfortable she was at slow speeds. The older wings are easy to master. I've driven the maneuverability DMV parking lot test with a 200 lbs passenger on the rear. It is not difficult to handle at slow speed. Double check the steering head bearings, that maybe why she was uncomfortable at slow speeds. The fact that it wants to wobble is another sign the steering head bearings may be bad. For the best ride, make sure the suspension has plenty of air in it. Two bars down from max pressure should be good. I've owned a GL1000, A GL1200 and currently own a GL1800. Comparing the 1200 to the 1800, the 1800 is more difficult at slow speed because the center of gravity is higher. This makes it quicker into the corners, more sporting, but it doesn't just sit in the corners like the 1200 did. It also has a longer wheel base, so that makes it more difficult at slow speed. It also means you lean more in the corners. I'm happy with it, but think they should have not raised the center of gravity quite as much.

I have rode the 1500 and 1800 and have never heard of brake issues like that. Please get them checked out. I have been riding Goldwings since I was 30. Someone told me that the 1500 was like an RV, great on the hwy and clumsy around town. I could see that when you are not use to it and it is a big bike. Now on to the 1800. Game changer. The low center of gravity is awesome. I scrap the pegs in the corners. Let Whitney take an 1800 out for a spin and the glow on her face will say it all. People told me about the 1800 and they said dont test ride unless your going to buy. I went into a shop in the middle of winter and sat on one and leaned it side to side. If you have ridden many miles on the old wings and did this you can tell right away. I ended up buying one without even riding one. I have since had 2 of them and 175000 miles later. Never a regret.

I suspect the Wing is a bit worn or experienced in a few areas. I have had my 2017 Indian forks fully serviced and the difference was profound. The Goldwing should brake and handle well and deal with undulations well. Great review both of you. Hmm makes me want to ride one. And any old motorcycle that's still bringing joy is a great thing.
