Just wondering if there are any Motorcycle backpacks that offer water tanks. I checked the Viking bags and RevZilla but could not find any backpacks with water bottle/tank.

Just a quick question here, do magnetic tank bags stick well over the wrap? does the wrap leave smudges when removed?

Wow, I didn’t know about the sponsorship. Good luck champ.

Why do they need the inspection and you really bring laptops seriously???? With so many gadgets of course they have to look .

I completely agree with this point of view. There are many more, who are really much better than Harley as compared to performance, price, and reliability.

As I already told you (now in detail), BMW is really the one of the best motorcycles brand. No doubt Harley is the cool brand among riders but BMW has their own worth. In many factors BMW is much better then Harley like performance, price, and reliability. Believe me very soon it takes the place among riders the journey between worst to best is too best.

She doesn't have 400 dollars because she is retired. I still work, the lack of money was a joke about her not working and I do. We can afford a new tire, and it is already on the rim.

Ohh so the problem is huge and more than a tire. 

So in the situation money is the problem, you really need to plug it in 

It seems like you guys really enjoyed. I wish we can post videos also.

So sad to hear about, May his soul rest in peace.

Another epic trip. I hope you enjoy this very well. BTW The pictures are soo cool.

Congratulations for the new one.

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. 

it might get stuck with the brake lever would be hard to disengage as well. I am thinking to create something which will disconnet it automatically when brakes applied. I recently got this machince so dont know much about the electronics but I am sure there will be a wire somewhere which controls the accerlator we can then create some kind of switches with the brakes to send signal to ecu to cut power to the accerlator wire and then put it back when we leave the brake levers. It will cost around $10 but a lot more brain storming. I know it can be done as I have done the same with the harley 883 and it worked perfectly fine.

Got it, thanks for the quick response

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. 

Sad, I have been using their saddlebags (https://www.vikingbags.com/motorcycle-harley-saddlebags.htm) on my harley for so long. Always liked the durability and the product quality.

Has anyone ever tried installing a throttle control on a 2014 goldwing (no cruise, abs, trunk navigation reverse) version?

I am looking for DIY project of creating some kind of throttle response control which would act as cruise control obviously it will not be like a adaptive one. Is there any aftermarket accessory available for such purpose? or has anyone ever tried it?

Found this https://www.mccruise.com/en-us/products/honda-gold-wing-f6b-bagger-from-2013 but paying a $1000 bucks for this would not be a wise move. I am thinking for creating some kind of plastic ring which I can put on the accerlator, tighten it up and anchor with the switch assembly. You can then simply place the anchor on at your desire speed, simply remove the anchor when braking. Any better ideas or issue with this one? Please advise.

Wow nice bike and what a click.

Thank you so much for sharing this one.

Man, that's a machine to do die for. Looks amazing. Are these racks from the Viking Bags?

Wow nice bike. You made your father happy. Hope he enjoy the ride.

Just missing these kind of activities.

It must be really the concern path. 

13 years is a very small age of racing but still, now this is riding season all events and clubs are open for the riders Just join a club and start taking the classes. As you said he is a beginner so initially he must join a club where he learns how to ride and the best way to ride. I share some options for racing dirt bikes so choose the best one according to your need.
