Honda Gold Wing description
This was one of my retirement toys I purchased brand new. Enjoyed just tooling around on it & making a several of multi day road trips. Really don't want to sell it but age & health are not allowing me to ride much anymore & I can't justify just letting it sit in the garage. Although it has a lot of miles, it has been meticulously maintained (records & receipts go with it), all those miles were were gently acquired. This bike looks & runs like a new one. I have added more than $12K in additional electronics, LED lighting & appearance items (owner/operator manuals for most go with the bike). There is also a set of Fred Harmon's maintenance CDs that are included. I will provide a spreadsheet detailing all maintenance done. Oil, filter & final drive oil were changed every 5K miles & regular maintenance accomplished. This bike lives in the garage when not being ridden, when on a trip it is under a cover when parked (two full covers, one used, one new will go with the bike). This bike came with ABS braking, heated seating, heated hand grips & in dash GPS navigation. I swapped out the stock hand grips for larger Honda heated grips with chrome detail to fit my big hands. I installed a dual Gerbing heat controller, so you can just plug a heated suit right in. A full complement of Baker wind deflectors were added to assist in climate control for the rider & passenger. A V-stream adjustable windscreen with vent keeps the wind at bay and an adjustable back rest keeps you comfortable in the saddle. Front & rear floor boards, heal/toe shifter & highway pegs complete the rider comfort items. The passengers foot boards adjust & the passenger has arm rests to make them more comfortable. Dual GPS navigation (one factory in dash + a Zumo 665) makes finding your way around a breeze. The Zumo integrates with the bikes sound system & connects to your cell phone via bluetooth. Earphones & mike in your helmet allow you to use your phone, transmit on the CB or converse with a passenger hands free while riding. The bikes sound system + mic mutes & Kenedy cell set allow you total access to the intercom, both GPS units, the CB radio & both MP3 players. Yes there are dual MP3 players (one in the Zumo + a J&M digital). All of this is integrated into the bikes sound system so you can listen to (ear phone or speakers) & control all of it while riding. There is a digital voltage gauge & a separate LED voltage monitor allowing you to monitor your electrical system. All of the lights except the headlight, the fog lights & the front turn signals have been converted to LEDs to limit work load on the alternator. A Doran tire pressure monitor instantly warns you of a imminent flat tire or low tire pressure. There is an alarm with adjustable proximity warning installed. The alarm sounds at the bike, disables the ignition and sends a signal to a small remote so you know when it is activated. In addition to factory turn signal lighting, there are LED strobe lights that flash when activated. The LED brake lights strobe a settable pattern when brakes are applied. There are LED accent lights on the front fender, engine cover, saddle bags & license plate.. Glare resistant Muth mirrors with LED turn signals complete the lighting enhancements. The headlight has a modulator you can control (off/on, fast/slow) to enhance your visibility to others. I don't think you can be TOO visible on a bike. This bike has a Bushtech trailer hitch installed. The receiver sits under the rear fender out of sight. There are two removable tongues (one with a ball, one with a luggage platform) that go into the receiver. I have used the luggage platform but this bike has never towed a trailer. The trailer wiring harness will go with the bike, it was never installed. All the take off parts that were replaced with upgrades will go with the bike. |
