    That is the toughest looking Goldwing of all time! The attention to detail with this build is immediately apparent from any angle. I've never imagined this bike looking this awesome. That fairing looks so killer!

    I've never liked it when people turned these into bobbers or bikes along those lines but you did an incredible job on this one. It really looks great. Well done man. I'd be proud to ride that bike.

    I could notice at certain angles the pearl in the black you mentioned. Sweet!
    I've been wanting a custom goldwing but I don't want to use my 82 interstate or 85 aspencade
    so I'll find a standard 1100 and go from there. Man, your ride is 'smokin!'

      @@joerigillissen9324 i dont think my opinion matters to a massive company like honda. Im just stating that it was unnecessary to make the goldwing more sporty when the whole point was to make it the most comfortable ride for long distances. They have sport bikes and adventure bikes for those people. People CAN make their own decisions now but honda seems to want to make the goldwing just like any other motorcycle.

    • @clintwoodruff1187
      @clintwoodruff1187 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@ConservativeCalifornian1032 - Can't help it, I have to say this... These bikes DID NOT start out to be a " most comfortable long distance bike"! They actually came out naked, and there was a great deal of chatter around the local Honda dealership of how great they would be *Supercharged", as the liquid cooling, and 'shaft drive' would help in that vein. Honda had their 750 cc bike, and it was 'over the hill' at 6 yrars old, and getting creamed by the other 'Yakaduki' bikes, in shear out acceleration. Durability was being surpassed by the other big 'hot rod cruisers ' of the day. The bike was big, STRONG , and appealing to - SURPRISE... touring types. Who bolted all kinds of, what we called, " garbage" on them, which changed the direction of the bike forever . A lot of us simply lost interest at that point, and turned our attention to other avenues. I mean who wanted a "garbage wagon" with a ton of crap on them ? We wanted 'slick & fast, and we wanted it to LOOK FAST, too. Fortunately, for Honda, there were a hell of a lot of people that did not share the interest of myself & our friends, at least as far as the GL was concerned. And the rest is history. But the direction of the big GL's was determined by how 'people customized' them, not by the original factory offering. I considered one myself, at the time. I could just see that big blower sitting atop the motor, and I wondered if I could tune it to ' surge' like the blown V-8 cars. What a fantasy, I was enjoying, untill the " touring crowd" got hold of them with Craig Vetters help and ruined it all !
      Oh well, life goes on.
