The blacked out (ok, almost blacked out) version of that bike is cool.  Never thought of a Goldwing as looking mean nor like it had any kind of an attitude.  That one rings a few bells.  Like that bike.

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

How do you know it was photoshopped?
Because the owner of the pic, bike and thread, stated it was. If you look close above the rear bags you can see the smudge effect where the trunk has been removed. He did a nice job of it, but it's still not real at this point.

Ok, I like what that bike could be....

Stop dreaming there d00dster.
A big ass is big ass whether is on a wing or a glide.

Or a stripper pole

Gary...keep your kinky thoughts to yourself...this is a family site...

Stripper pole. LOL   Maybe it's for tailgating.    Two years ago I picked up a set of red 2010 GW bags from a shop that does trike conversions. Might be a good source to play with and mod a new top section. Bet it also increases the price the trike shops can get for the take off's. Better find a set now before the price goes up.  
And whoever did the photoshop is a pro. Or someone on the VTX forum is downplaying the conversion and lying about it.  

Guess I must be thinking about building something like this. Followed my own advice and just purchased a set of blue 2012 saddlebag takeoffs from ebay...same shop I purchased the 2010 takeoffs. Hmmm, what the hell is wrong with me? Rhetorical...no answer required.   Guess I must be planning on buying another Wing. They had a brand new differential assembly, swingarm, rotor, caliper and pads, all for super cheap. Shelf parts I guess. I see myself selling my 1500 and picking up a newer 1800. R'tard but there's no law I know of that says I can't own both.

Bummer brother Ken, didn't even think about that. Taking pics is such a taboo thing here I didn't even consider taking a camera. Wonder if ENCS can get us a H-D mural and then we'll make a CVO out of it!. LOL Better than cardboard aye. Hmmmm, we might need to do something for Christmas. Thanks for the idea Ken.

If y'all come through Kandahar, hit me up! I'm here until July!


I like the look of the F6B. Popped in to the GL1800 forum to see what they were saying about it over there. A few comments about wishing it had a removable tour pack; would definitely make it more well rounded. I loved my GL1800; put almost 100k miles on it in 4 years. Moved to my BMW 1150GS Dual SPort and then fell in love with my SERG and it was my first HD, bought it without having ever thrown a leg over an HD. I love to ride and would have a Jay Leno sized stable if I could afford it! No doubt my SERG wins in the looks department, but I do miss how easy it was to ride my GL1800 hard.

Found a picture of a red one with a bigger windshield (which to me defeats the purpose... but then I still have the stock shield on my SERG; I love the look).  Making you buy the Deluxe to get auto-cancel signals, FAIL!

Not the only bike trying to steal some of the Road Glide's attention, also have the  Kawi Vaquero. Here's how it stacked up to the RG Custom (with the 103 upgrade): http://www.motorcycle.com/shoot-outs/2011-kawasaki-vulcan-1700-vaquero-vs-2011-harleydavidson-road-glide-custom-90376.html

Will do Crusty. Part of our team is there now so we kinda rotate around as needed. I'm new to this BAF area so it'll be a little while before I head out. Met a fellow from there today and was wondering if it was you. Thanks for the photo. I'm working on my gal to see if we can sell off 2 other bikes to get a 2012 Wing with all the trons (ABS NAM level 3 I think it is) and then just mod the back trunk and see if I can make it quick release. Saddlebag release cables will take a bit of engineering without the trunk latches and I see that the F6B relocates them to the bags. But that's why I wanted to buy takeoff parts.  Not sure if that's what I really wanna do but I'm checking on it. That would mean I'd keep the CVO, Rune and add the Wing. My gal refuses to ride the Raider anymore since it hurt her tailbone so much and now that I'm near the military again I can get a POA and sell stuff off.

Haven't ridden an 1800 since 2003 but that booger was fast compared to the 1500. I can see how you'd put on 100,000 in 4 years. My 1500 might need carbs rebuilt as it only has 23,000 on it but otherwise it's not even broken in. Didn't even get to start it this year which isn't good. Another reason why buying yet another bike right now isn't very smart. Who knows what they'll do in 2014. My luck I'd buy a left over 2012 and they'd make a 2000cc with a 6th gear.

The Vaquero seems like a pretty decent ride and the dash layout is pretty cool. I was finally able to open the article you posted and read about it. Before I bought my blue lady, I was considering it. But as with most Japanese engines, they are limited on engine mods compared to a H-D. Always been something I've wondered about with the understressed wing engines. One guy put a turbo on his but other than that you're on your own for engine mods and I have never seen a tuner for a Wing. Sure would be nice for the Rune engine but a guy would have to experiment all along the way. Been reading all day about the 2012 Wing. Not much in the way of changes so maybe I'll hold off til spring and see if they have something wild for 2014. Somehow wild and Honda just don't work well together. Boring and reliable are more like it I guess but then that can be a good attribute at times. Sux having a brain full of marbles.

I can't imagine putting that many miles on my SERG. I did a lot of Iron Butting on my GL1800, culminated with doing 10,300 miles in 9.5 days (through the lower 48, stopping in Mexico, through Canada to Hyder Alaska!).

I'd love to have another wing, but to completely , THIS is what will be added to my "portfolio" when I get done with my year here. My year in Afghanistan/retirement gift to myself!

I think it will be a worthy room mate for my SERG!

 I have never seen a tuner for a Wing.

There's a tuner for the Goldwing; for sure.  SWR meter.....

  Good point. Need to get max power outta that radio. Still thinkin' about adding Ham radio but a ground plane will be fun.
