I must have purchased the best Goldwing to ever come off of Honda’s assembly. Yep, it had a few little flaws that I would have made better if I could tell Honda how to build them. Don’t guess they need my advice.
I had the All Balls bearing put in, not because of a wobble but because I looked at the two bearings side by side and felt the All Balls are better. The OEM’s are OK but I think Honda could have done a better job with that.
Just the other day I had Max and Crew (Traxxion) wave their magic wane over the suspension and man, what an improvement.
Other than that I’ve had 23000 wonderful, exciting, flawless miles on her.
Have you ever bought a cage and everything on it was perfect. I haven’t. I wish Honda had put that $7,000 of extra’s on RED and sold it to me for the OEM price. Dang, they just wouldn’t do it.
Now about Traxxion.
Max and Crew installed the front forks, rear shock and brace on RED Wednesday. Took a short ride with a couple good guys I met at the shop. Only difference on those smooth Ga. highways was a more solid feel. It was as if you were wearing the bike instead of on it.
Pulled out of Woodstock, Ga. about 4:30 A/M Thursday. Cool, but not cold. I wanted to beat the Atlanta traffic. Turning west on I-20 it started getting colder as I hit the cold front.
True test on the suspension came when I hit the Louisiana roads. Finally exam came when I hit some of that I-10 between the Louisiana State line and just west of Houston. A lot of I-10 on the Texas side is good but there is some really bad. They have been working on some part of that Interstate for 27 years that I know of and will probably still be working on it when Jesus comes back to set up his Kingdom on Earth.
Upside of the suspension, I mean, what can I say that hasn’t already been said. IT’S GREAT.
Before Traxxion, when you hit a bump you could feel it and if it was a big one it would jar your teeth.
After Traxxion, You still feel the bump but it doesn’t jar you or rattle your eye balls. It’s kind of like hitting a bump in a 1 ton empty trunk and then hitting the same bump in a Lincoln Navigator.
Downside,
You get to where you ignore the bumps, split pavement and groves in the pavement. Like I said, you’re wearing the bike. Then you have to realize that you’re still riding on just two, very soft tires and big bumps, potholes and pavement separations should still be respected.
I don’t know the mechanics of it but I do know Max has a lock on the suspension secret. Hat’s off to Max and Staff.
See you in about 20000 for a service. Good reason for a ride. BTW, I don't think I've ever seen colors as colorful up there as they are this year.

It's even better when riding two up. I hope you enjoy your new ride.
