You asked..  It's ugly.  IMO!!

[CVOThunder]

Damn!

Look for a used blue 2007 GW then put flames on it and mod the trunk and w/s. Been thinkin' about going that route if I were to get a newer Wing. Saddlebags would be much different though.

You takin' THAT to Santa Fe?

Might!  Wouldn't take much to make it fit in with the CVO's.  All I would have to do is put some Harley lifters in it, Harley cam bearings, NIM and loosen up a couple of parts so that they would fall off somewhere between here and Santa FE.

I guess we won't have to worry about wearing matching shirts anymore.

When I start buyin' Honda shirts, I'll get two of each!
 

But can we still follow you to Santa Fe?

 

SBB

If you can keep up!

I talked with Steve, he can do the baffles and traxxion can do the front end.
So what kind of tuner is needed?

SBB

I got to have the centerstand. 

Don't need no stinkin' tuner, it's a Honda!
 

It's still a Honda!

You meet the nicest people on a Honda!

That's exactly what I was thinking Tommy.

Be sure and get the one with the self-cancelling turn signals so I don't have to watch those SOBs flashing all the way there and back, or keep turning mine on hoping you'll get the message!

I already have one too many Honda shirts (and hats, too)!  But they do make a nice snowblower!

Tommy...the foot position may be an issue for you.  I'm sure there are some kind of aftermarket parts to change the foot position, at least when cruising. 

[VaEagle]

I owned a 1980 Goldwing and back then installed a set of aftermarket floorboards and a heel/toe shifter. Worked great and was comfortable. I'm sure they must still offer a similar setup for new Goldwings.
If you are an old geezer are you allowed to have self canceling turn signals?.....I though once past a certain age you had to leave your blinker on all the time???

Yea, you can put highway pegs/floor boards on it but then you're stradling a 2.5-3 foot motor.

It's a nice looking bike no doubt, but I gotta say a trunk spoils me.

Years ago I took the tour pack off my '95 Ultra. It was nice and all but I missed having the storage. There's nothing like parking, and locking up all your leathers and helmet. I see folks at stops and rallies dragging their helmet and leather around because there is no place to store it and they don't want to leave it. Some have tried locking it to the bike with a cable only to return and find the cable cut.

But that's just me.

Good point. Without the trunk it makes it tough for 2 to ride very far. Ok for a work bike and some evening riding.  I like the look but having that extra storage space is worth keeping the trunk.

These floorboards replace the pegs...

[Ironhorse]

Well,....

So you can put floorboards, heel-n-toe shifter, and large brake pedal on a GoldWing. That = success!
There's no reason for "Miker" not to buy one now,....LOL!!

That back seat is big enough for two BSR's.
