I do believe your bike has radials on it, so I have to say "welcome to the radial world".
With radial tires, air pressure is EXTREMELY important! They don't seem to like heavy motorcycles.
Everyone that has 1800 Goldwings, has the same problems, no matter what brand.
Besides my SE Ultra, I have an 1800 Goldwing, so I know first hand. People try to blame it
on everything from bad bike design, to poor front suspension, to whatever. I still say
radials and heavy bikes don't work together. I get 12/15k out of my bias HD tires, with no
problem, but the Wing starts cupping at around 5/7k on every set. I've tried Dunlops, Mets, stones
with all the same results. If you catch it early enough, before the cupping starts, sometimes
they will replace them free. Good luck!
