I'd have to take my Wing to an Authorized Traxxion Shop. Now let me say this. Max you are "Da Man". I wish that you did Harleys, life would be so easy. I just love watching you work...
First...thank you, thank you, thank you! (For all 3 parts) I am a fan and supporter of your products! My new '23 dct was delivered to me this week with more than a quart too much oil! People need to check and recheck like the "manual says"! And don't believe your dealer when he says "no problem". It's a problem! The dipstick extender is awesome. Saved a lot of aggravation checking and rechecking until my level was finally siphoned down to normal range. Grrr.
Hello Max, if anyone needs to do this it’s probably me as I’m definitely one of the heavier riders. It’s quite a bit of work, but I think I could handle it. I’ve basically completed my bike modifications with aftermarket options and hoping my Russell Day-Long seat will allow me to stay in the seat for more than 90 minutes. I’ll keep the suspension modification on my list as I’m confident it will improve the ride. Finally, for operators who are going to do this modification and have some decent miles on the clock, this would be a good time to check the Air Filter. Thanks for the very informative videos. Cheers..
I followed Max’s advice and took my2022 dct tour to one of his recommended installers, Willie Vass in Didsbury Alberta. Very impressive mechanic. Installation was flawless and installation looked “factory”when completed.
I just replaced the front and rear shocks on my 2018 GL Tour. I had bike on garage floor no lift, left the wheel and calipers on. If you only remove the lower arm bolt you can lift the wheel up (not out) and get enough room to take the front shock out. Save you from taking the extra plastic off in the front. And theres’ two screws on the back side of the main steering shaft you have to take off to remove the rubber piece connected to the shock...
Thank you for this video it helps me todo this whit no help from a dealer , i did the job. Its idd lot of work. But i instal the hyperpro progressive springs made in the Nederlands , much better comfort. Then the original springs it isa full day work. .
Front OEM shock motor......you mention in this video to plug it back in. I assume this is no longer necessary? Just ordered and received my front Traxxion shock and it includes a dummy plug......this is all that's needed, correct?
Not sure but are you replacing shocks on a new bike , or you just don't have anything to or seeing how it is done , thanks I'm scared but I could somethings on it , I hope that Honda ,gets on there Quality control issues , fast . But if the service guys don't work on them they will be scared of them .Great video thanks .
Very good stuff...can’t understand why they have to build them like insane puzzles......worked on copy machines...same thing...crazy stupid just to get covers off.... arggggghhhhh..... cool vids you do....
Question for you since you've pulled the fuel tank... One of the two biggest gripes people have with the new Wing is the reduced fuel tank capacity (other is reduced storage of course), does it look like there is any room to make a slightly larger one if Honda listens to everyone and wants to do so, or is everything in there so tight that there is no hope of that?

whatever you charge is money very well spent, a pleasure to watch pro mechanic, bikes a work of art.

Interesting, we'll have to check that out.
Genius!!
I don't even own a Goldwing but loving all your videos on them
Thank you for another good piece of information. Keep up good work
Thanks, will do!

Yes, the dummy plug seals up the factory wiring harness.
No way would I attempt that. I would bring the bike to you guys. Nice video!
Does anyone know if Honda have taken any notice of the issues raised by Max, and if they are going to correct them??
very interesting seeing how it all works under neath all that fairing,

Thank you!
love the speakers in the side bags, was this custom? I plan to remove the ugly top box but don't want to lose the speakers
hmm, not sure if i'm comfortable with my brand new 2018 wing being pulled apart like a BBQ chicken..
good video, as always very detailed..
Which shock is easier to change, front or rear?
I would say they are equal.
@@Traxxion thanks for your time Sir
There needs to be a recall from Honda to pay for this inadequate stock shock.

U just make it look so ez like u do this in your sleep
Jacob is way faster than me! He's done a LOT of them at this point!
Ball Park price for your suspension upgrade on the new 2018 Goldwing tour?
Max McAllister looks like a great performance improvement. If I drive down how long will you have the bike?
What a PIA to work on! Worse than before! Damn!
