Damn.

Maybe, but not close to Columbus. I might be able to meet you in New Concord on Sunday. Plans are pending at the moment.

That looks fast. Congrats!

I put a Mustang on the Voyager and it was a very comfortable saddle. It increased the seat height, but was shaped to allow my feet to reach the ground more securely. Nice design and good quality... for the 3 weeks I owned it.

Amanda and I didn't think the 2018 seat was uncomfortable. It is firm, but I prefer that over plush.

Are you givin' me a hassle, man?!

Note to self: Justin hides keys in his seat.

No, Jim has slowed his role in the past year or two. He isn't pushing the front into corners. I cant see a reason why he would be chewing the front at an equal/greater pace than the rear. If other Wingers are noticing this as their bikes rack up miles, maybe something is up with the new front end design? That's a stretch, but worth investigating.

Besides going slower? No.

You need new tie rods.

New deflector works well. Cleans the air hitting my helmet on the freeway and a quick twist directs fresh air right onto my chest. Lift the windscreen and it's whisper quiet, so weather protection should be excellent.

Installed a small Puig wind deflector. Same brand and tint as the windscreen and not as ugly as I thought it would be.

They do not get stuck. You just roll the throttle tube forward as you reach for the brake lever. There isn't enough friction to overcome the power of your wrist. A smooth throttle tube is key for the best operating condition.

I knew it was rigged.

450+ miles on the RS today. New handlebar is awesome. So much more nimble and flickable, plus all day comfort. That is how it should come from BMW.

Speed safe, Justin. Congrats!

I don't believe so. I'm not able to select a Goldwing on their website. Looks like cruiser stuff. Knowing the PO's M.O., I am guessing Show Chrome or Honda. He farkles with quality stuff.

I considered vinyl for the faux wood, but I'm just going to let it ride. The rotor covers are OEM and don't bother me, plus they hold the LED Ring of Fire.. which I like. It was all the extra chrome that was added to the bike that didn't suit me. With the exception of the passenger kick panels on the panniers and the arm rest mounts, and the luggage rack, the remainder of the chrome is how it left the plant in Marysville.

Chromectomy complete. I tried to remove some of the plastic wood trim from the rear storage compartments, but it is glued on like linoleum. Looks like I am learning to live with it, which isn't my favorite activity. Oh, well... it isn't hateful. I will live. It's still the same Goldwing, just less shiny.

I am taking it to Franklin, NC this weekend.

I just cant help myself. I removed the silver switch box on the clutch master cylinder and pulled the wires. Now that it has the uber LEDs, I don't need that. Replaced the chrome speaker covers for OEM for aesthetic reasons. No more cigarette lighter. Now it's sporting a BMW plug that will be wired directly to the battery for heated gear (lol..as if I will ever need that), battery tender and a 12v USB charger. I have hardware on the way to lose the CB mic mount that I will never use. I am also doing a little more chromectomy surgery, but am almost ready to leave it alone.
