It is amazing the fact that I understand every single word you speak. Thank you. Unfortunately here in Italy we are struggling with the desease and I just can’t wait to ride my new 2019 DCT GL 1800. Thank you for your videos and suggestions. 🤟🏻
Prayers fro Texas for our Italian friends. Italy is my favorite European country. Stay safe.
Thanks Cruiseman! A great addition to your first video. I appreciate your candid reviews and opinion. Stay Safe!
As always very articulate and informative. I have most of the accessories except the mirror signal lights , will be looking into getting them . Thank you zir .
Great video! I have all of the "minor" Traxxion Dynamics upgrades you mentioned plus some. Can't afford the suspension upgrade yet, but the “little” improvements they've come up with are outstanding.
Agree with the HomeLink convenience, but as you said, the install is an ENORMOUS pain for what should be a standard accessory. Sticking with the remote in the glove box for now.
Keep up the videos and reviews. You are a great asset to the Gold Wing community!
Excellent review Cruiseman ... I have most of those accessories on my DCT Goldwing
And yet another great video Chris and thank you for the comments on the seat upgrade I now will be pulling the trigger on that upgrade, installed the break and headlight modulators and was so impressed with my abilities on the install lol ended up doing a temp taped install of the light sensor at the head of the consul looks good there, just wasn’t interested in drilling a hole into the bike yikes to do a permanent install of it. Other than the seat I think the below the trunk rack lights might be next
Thanks again
Deer i loved your professional way of working on a goldwing bike
Mr.yassir
From KSA
I agree with Don Smith. More lighting is essential for safety.
Great summary video. I didn't know about the frunk lock replacement. That looks much better than stock. Mine works but periodically sticks. Supposedly the 2020 was to have a lock with a better action. I thought I might try to get it replaced under warranty... But now I think I'll just go with the aftermarket.
Thank you so much for your invaluable information, highly appreciate it, keep it up the outstanding job, have a great day.
Good summary video. I too have an enjoy a 2018 DCT TOUR. THANKS AGAIN.
Nice job as usual..
Thanks for your accessories review. I have added a ton of stuff myself, Goldstrike Trunk / Brake light, AddOn DRL / front sequential turn signals, Muth mirrors, Show Chrome Fog Lights (got to be a Honda copy), TwinArt Vent Lights, Show Chrome Fork and Saddle Bag Lights, and the Kuryakyn Omni Rear saddle bag lights. Everything except the fog lights is going through the Show Chrome Isolation Fuse block, distributed by the Electrical Connections Lighting Distribution Block. I replaced my Kisan Trail Blazer(s) with the Show Chrome Brake Flasher, it seems to work better, a buddy noticed I had a wig-wag pattern that I don't get with the Show Chrome unit.
Great video. Thanks man
I also bought the Wingsoft and its really good and like you it increased the time I can ride. BUT I would like to see a head to head with another one I've heard about called Hartco.
Thanks Cruise man we are on the same page exactly I am about to install the Muth mirrors that will be the last upgrade I believe😎
Great review and thanks for sharing. I look forward to your upcoming review on the mystery seat. Seat comfort is a big priority for me and I really doubt a factory seat modification is the answer for me, someone must sell a 18+ GW seat that I can be comfortable in for 3+ consecutive hours and compatible with factory seat heat controls(?). Any suggestions?
Another nicely done video...a bit surprised you didn't mention your Rivco hitch and a trailer wiring relay...one of the first items to be installed on a new wing for those of us that pull a trailer. About the Wingsoft...I couldn't ride on the OEM seat for more than 70 miles before pain would set in and I wanted to park the bike...and even getting off the bike for a break, I just couldn't recover and be comfortable...nothing helped, not seat beads or the 80 dollars sheep skin I bought.I could never had went on a 10 day ride with the OEM seat, the seat would had killed the fun. I had the Wingsoft seat done and the seat is a hundred times better for me. Ive been on 10 day rides with some 650 mile days and have ridden in comfort with the Wingsoft seat.
Here is my review of the Rivco: th-cam.com/video/HBJLhT2iuB0/w-d-xo.html . Glad you are enjoying your WingSoft seat!
Thank You. Info I can use. 👍🏻👴🏻
There is another accessory from Honda that seems crucial and that is the 12VDC, 10 amp accessory plug. This accessory allows you to power an air compressor after you have plugged that flat tire or charge additional electronic devices if the USB port is already used. It too is a pain to install although I did see a TH-cam video that had a short cut other than the Honda recommended installation procedure. Wouldn't go on a trip without it. Thank you for the reviews.
You can also run an SAE connector from your battery through the side cover to power a compressor, or any 12v device as well as support your battery tender.
I have had people pull over and let me pass using my Kisan modulators. It is quite nice!
You sold me on the Goldwing. I just picked a ‘21 up a couple of days ago. I enjoy your videos.
I was curious how hard it is to install the path blazer and tail blazer. Do you need to run a fuse block with those?
Cruiseman, this is my first time watching and I am hooked. You are to the point without unnecessary fluff. Thank you for that. Now I have to break out my wallet and go shopping for the items that you displayed. I have a question as well. I am currently looking for a trunk and hardware for my DCT that won't cost me two grand and a decent drink holder. I hope you can advise on where to go. thank you
Welcome to the channel. Check the GoldStrike drink holder, I hear good comments about it. Not sure what to recommend as far as a trunk.
♥Cruiseman's Garage
For a 2016 goldwing do you have a suggestion on best way to add a power supply for a cell phone?
I've run the Wingsoft on 1st and 2nd gen Gl1800 as well as the Russel Daylong...Curious if you would do a review of the RDL seat.. It is definitely my go seat...21 hours in the saddle it never missed a beat...
Typically, I review products from companies that reach out to me for a review. I have never had a conversation with RDL, but I would certainly be open to it. I am so backlogged on product reviews right now, it would probably be June before I could even get to it!
Thanks for another great video Cruiseman. Have you looked at the AmpLink power module to compare it to the Pathfinder fuse block isolator? Max at Traxxion Dynamics seems to think it is the best he has ever seen and way better than the Pathfinder isolator because it is water proof and very simply programmed. He has a vid out on it. It has no fuses...all electronic. Expensive though, about $250.00.
I think I reached out to them after watching Max's video, but never got a reply. So, I have not seen or tested the AmpLink.
I didnt see any type of drink holder in your reviews, I have a 2019, and can't find one that fits and stays on....any suggestions
Hey C.G., Please recommend a passenger backrest that I can install on a 2021 Goldwing dct.. Thank you
Question: For a 2016 Goldwing what would you recommend to power a cell phone? Thanks
The dipstick extender is so easy to install that even a dipstick could do it.
On the Traxxion Kickstand pad: I rate this product a 3 out of 5 for the initial package. There are no instructions included in the package despite the attachment being pretty simple. However there are two sets of set screws, one longer than the other set. The long set is too short for this product. You will run the longest screw almost through the pad before even coming into contact with the kickstand base. Either the Traxxion product video or instructions yet to be provided needs to instruct you to apply Threadlock or Loctite when inserting the screws. I used the screws provided and tightened down as hard as I could . With less than 50 miles, I looked down in a parking lot and noticed that one screw had backed out almost all the way from the pad. I removed the pad with out taking any screws out and saw that the other screw had backed out and was missing. I had to go to a hardware store to find screws that fit the pad for replacement. I applied Loctite to the screw hole in the pad and once the screws were started, I applied more Loctite to the screw threads before screwing them the rest of the way in. I then had to "cut" the rest of the screw extending outside of the pad. After I let the Loctite harden, I finished a 50 mile commute today and all is well.
can you compere ultimate seat to wingsoft seat? pros and cons
Hi I just want to say I like your videos I am gonna be a new goldwing rider I just ordered a 2022 honda goldwing tour dct I my main bike for since 2008 has been a yamaha fjr1300AE I also have a smaller honda 2015 ctx700 DCT I have nerve damage in my spine so I have trouble shifting with my leg my FJR is a paddle shifter anyway I am trading my 2 bikes in and I am buying a honda NC750x DCT and a honda goldwing tour DCT thx for putting out quality video on the honda goldwing
Great video Cruiseman!... I do want to buy the TailBlazer Brake Maduator but I'm not able to find it available. Kisan website shows them out of stock. I emailed them and even called and left message but with no response back. Do you have any idea when they will back in stock or where you could buy them.
Thanks.
They are currently out of stock. But I have been told a new batch will be coming in April.
I’ve been a little hesitant to add lights to my 2018 DCT tour. Mostly because I’m concerned I might screw up the cam busses. Even now I have a set of hyper lights stashed away because of that. How many mAmps can you add before it becomes a problem? In particular, I wanted to add the hyper lights in parallel to my rear turn signals. But I consider lights to be a safety item, so would love to add a lot more.
That is why the Show Chrome Isolator Fuse Block is so popular. You can add lights and accessories without having to worry about messing up the CANBUS. amzn.to/2WxGdwH
I understand entirely about product reviews...Too many..However, the RDL seat has got to be one of the most popular seat mods...They have about a 3 month wait...so may be they dont need a review...but if you do get to it , I'll be looking forward to it....
Yeah, if they have a waiting list, you are correct, they may not feel like they need a review.
Totally agree about light modulators . Dr Harry Hurt was one of my professors at USC and his Hurt reported stated " Conspicuity of the motorcycle is a critical factor in the multiple vehicle accidents, and accident involvement is significantly reduced by the use of motorcycle headlamps-on In daylight and the wearing of high visibility yellow, orange or bright red jackets." Modulators were not conceived of back then but, he always talked about the importance of being seen. Conspicuity, Conspicuity, Conspicuity!
Only complaint was being trapped behind a bike with stroking brake lights in bumper to bumper at night. Super annoying and headache provoking. Just strobe 1 light to get attention.
That Trail Blazer Brake Modulator is illegal in some States...
Can you tell me about those passenger armrests? They look better than the Honda ones.
Those are part of the seat backrest I am testing. Watch for a review video coming soon!
How about the DCT as an accessory, if you will. Do you ever miss controlling the gears? Would buy another manual Goldwing?
Good question. Sometimes I miss shifting, but I love the convenience of the DCT. Probably would have to buy the DCT again.
I can't decide which to buy when/if the economy recovers. Never popping a clutch again (and possibly dumping) is appealing. But shifting is fun ;-)
@@James-cn9no I have a 2018 DCT and love it. I actually don't miss shifting and see it as a new freedom to just "be" on the bike. There is joy in my heart every time I am on out for a cruise.
The DCT is just one more element of the Wing that makes it as easy as it is enjoyable to ride.
Mr cruiseman is goldwing good for work commuting
Absolutely. One of the best commuting bikes out there.
I own a Harley, I am tired that it is always something to do with the Harley. I'm tired and I have my pocket broke with the stupid Harley passion. Screws made with a bad metal alloy for example.
I have tried to change the Harley for a Goldwing, apparently I do not have many alternatives.
Any recommendations??
Not sure what you are asking?
@@cruisemansgarage Hellooooo!!!
What I mean is I've been trying to trade in my 2014 Harley Davidson for a Honda Goldwing.
what do you use to clean your 2018 Goldwing?
I use a mild detergent to wash it, then I use Aerolon products to polish and protect the paint. th-cam.com/video/dvYcIPNG79o/w-d-xo.html
@Cruiseman, I’m struggling b/t selecting the 2021 Goldwing Tour vs 2021 BMW R1250 RT. Any thoughts?
Well, I may not be qualified to answer your question since I have not ridden the RT. I hear great things about the bike. Typically, Honda's advantages are lower cost of maintenance, large dealer network (in case you are touring cross-country) and of course, reliability. I am sure there advantages that BMW owners could tell you about that brand as well. It probably comes down to you test riding both bikes and going with the one that fits your riding style best.
@@cruisemansgarage I’ve ridden the RT - love it! But it seems I can get the sportiness of the RT mixed with the Bagger style of the Harley, plus the reliability of the Honda brand, plus, as you stated, low cost maintenance all in the Goldwing. Last question: What about the Side Saddlebags? Is the fact they are a bit on the small capacity side an issue for longer rides, or do you not really notice the difference? Thanks for the reply... it means a lot. I watch a lot of your videos!
@@dbriggs1213 If you are referring to the bagger model Goldwing, then yes, the saddlebags are pretty limited for storage. The Harley and RT have larger saddlebags. But, don't discount the sportiness of the new Goldwing. In Sport mode it is quite a beast, and handles great. For touring, you will probably want a seat bag.
Donnie, I came from new BMW K1600 GA, My cheap input, go with the GW. I had too many issues for a bike with only 12K on it. They are fun machines and the RT sells very well, however they are very complex machines and too sensitive to over heating or cold starts, for example. Very costly to repair. The main clock on them is by time or miles, you cant go around it. I sold mine and got the 21 GW DCT Tour. Just magical machine.
I really don’t like all those lights. Keeping mine standard for a more premium look. Path blazers
Look useful however
I'm all for safety, but I really don't want my bike to look like a Christmas tree, unless its Christmas time.
I thought you were going to address products to avoid?
Oops. There were a couple. I forgot to mention them, but I will in an upcoming video. Sorry
@@cruisemansgarage Thanks. I kept thinking somehow I missed the segment due to phone calls etc so ended up watching the video 3 times. Finally I realized you left out the "just ok" and what to avoid. That gives you subjects for more videos !!
Your losing your memory, you did mention this on the first video... 😎 (the seat upgrade)
Getting old. :(
Cruiseman's Garage no shame there. We’re all getting old, that’s why the comfort upgrade reviews are so important. Thanks for your work and please view my videos on this wonderful machine.
This is more of a commercial
I would just add two more wheels and be done with it.
Believe it or not, some have done that! www.hannigantrikes.com/products/honda-gl1800-quadracycle/
why not just put every piece of crap you can find on it
I'm trying!
I have a 2023. I just want the best 5
