OK, better late than never, right??

this is a 2005, Silver, Silver anniversary goldwing.
Purchased in 2009 with about 32,800 miles on it.
Took it to local honda dealer (now out of business) and had:
Rear brakes and tire changed otherwise it checked out fine.


Right now I have added the following:
Baker wings Mirror, uppers and lowers 11/2012
Kuryakyn LED RUN-TURN-BRAKE spoiler bar lighting 01/2012
replaced broken trunk lid 07/2010 - thats what happens when you start losing balance and you grab the luggage rack... :sad:
Utopia back rest 08/2012


Some where along the way in 2012 I had the front faring fixed (had a crack in it)
painted up the faring, saddle bags
Had fog lights installed
chrome plate between the fog lights added
I added the skid plate to the bottom to protect the exposed engine
bought the tool kit
bought a smaller lift- used
Cup holder for driver
cup holder for passenger





in 03/2012 I had the following done at 43102 miles
oil change - am doing these now myself
Antifreeze flush and change
Spark plugs
Brakes - not sure front or back??
Front fork seal
Front and rear tires - Elite 3 frt 130/70R18
Elite 3 Rear 180/60R16
Inspected and adjusted valve clearnce
Cleaned crank case breather
replaced air filter
replaced spark plugs
disassembled front end, removed forks and rebuilt with new seals - left was leaking badly
adjusted steering head bearings - loose but not notched
that sunk in almost $1700.
09/2012 adjustable risers for passenger foot rests
Oct/Nov 2012 - gerbing heated jacket liner and Heat n glo gloves

heated overpants



Since then I have changed oil twice

I added a trailer hitch in 2013
I replaced my rear tire with a CT - Alpine - Thank you Rail!
In Feb 2013 I bought a heated Russel daylong used seat

Prior - missed a lot on the board as i couldnt get to this thread. Bike has about 76K on it. had a couple of oil changes. Had it in the shop for some work, i will have to update when i can find the work order. They changed the Front tire i think about August 2019 -
February 2020 - changed the battery with one i bought two years ago when i though my current one was failing... Still worked up until i failed to keep it charged during a cold spell (old battery).
March 2020 - finally getting to look at my gas gauge issue. Replacing the top sending unit to see if that is at fault.Trying a used one off Ebay from Fallen Bikes. Will see if that works. if not will bite the bullet and buy the OEM. Changing the Air filter while i have it that far apart already.
Will update some more when i am done...
