2018 and later model goldwings for the U.S. market do not come with a took kit.

 

Thanks. That's what I need to know. No need to kill my salesman j/k lol. I will piece mine together based on commonly used tools as I start tinkering with things. Already purchased 5mm and 6mm T-handles that will stay on the bike.

 

Cruz tools makes motorcycle tool kits, but you got to buy them. I was thinking about buying a set just in case. You never know when you are going to need one.

The only time I needed a “tool kit” is when I had a stuck exhaust valve on a 75 Kawasaki 900 Z1. Of course the took kit that came with the bike was useless for that problem.

 

If you got a 2025 anniversary US model your should have gotten a coffee table book and display model.

 

Thanks. Its a 2025 but not a 50th anniv model. Those are the only ones that comes with the item you mentioned. I wanted a 50th but only in Bordeaux red and manual. They had 6 Bordeaux red...DCT 😐. Guess they're (DCT) HOT sellers

 

Well I got a flat out on the middle of nowhere.I used my tool kit and my Areostich
Air pump and plug kit to get back on the road. Glad I had them with me

75 Kawasaki 900 Z1 ? Like this one? My dad had one , passed my road test on it. What a great bike.

Sharp bike! Always loved Kaw's styling back then. The gas tank is a classic!

 

You may want to spend some time on the 2018+ forum and learn from others who came before you. This question has come up a few times since 2018. You probably have other questions that would be answered by reading that forum, too.

 

Be careful what you choose. I bought this tool kit from Cycle Gear (online purchase - see below). It fit in my saddlebag, but it was so damned big it was practically the only thing which would fit in the saddlebag. So back it went.

@remoandiris makes a great point about checking the forum for previous discussions on this topic back to 2018. There is probably something out there between "what type of oil..." and "the seat on this bike is horrible. What type of hemorrhoid cushion..."

About that oil! 🤣🤣 I'm kidding

 

Lots of great options discussed here

I second the comment about spending some time in the 2018+ board. There is a ton of info there and likely the answer to most of your questions and likely answers to things you don't know to ask yet. I would start with the sticky threads and then work your way down. Go through several pages scanning the titles to see what interests you. A good reason for forum members to use descriptive titles.

Many of your posts should likely go there if they are specific to the 2018+. The general forum is more for general motorcycle discussions.

 

You will get lots of excellent suggestions. Mine is a jump-pack.

 

There's only a few items you need on the bike, a jump pack, tire plugs, and a air pump and what ever you need to replace a battery, other than that cash, a good credit card and a tow service because all other troubles are not on the side of the road repairs, and just one T- Handle to remove the seat.

 

A search often reveals the information you are seeking!

 

My "Honda tool kit" has sat in my left saddlebag since I bought the bike in 2014. Never used.

 

This is a irk for me. While most Goldwing Owners are not going to pull out a tool kit to fix their bike on the side of the road, some may attempt too. A screw driver or allen wench is sometimes useful for items that have loosened up.

I carry one of my Valkyrie Honda OEM provided tool kits in my Goldwing and have not needed it for my bike, but have for others I was riding with. Those kits have just about all I'm going to need, when and if I do.

What ticks me off is Honda NOT providing a tool kit for the DCT quad I bought, or one that is actually useful. Especially a shock adjustment tool, It's a dirt bike, for Pete's sake. You might want to adjust the suspension on the trail. I also carry a Valk kit on my quad and used it twice this past weekend for other riders with loose allen fasteners.

It just goes to profit and the bottom line, I guess. Same reason the Canada model Wings have a tool kit, must be Government required, the Canadian quads are required to have a pull start, where as on US models it's a purchased option.

I am glad the auto motor shut off is not required in US on Wings, the one on my Acura is a PITA.

Years ago every Honda bike had a decent tool kit and the old one's that are still complete, bring good coin.

Your observations strike a familiar chord.

A good friend just bought a Canadian market 2025 Honda Trans Alp 750. He is a certified Jaguar automobile technician. His TA did come with an OEM toolkit, but says included in this kit is a wrench/socket size that doesn’t seem to fit anything on the bike. Go figure.
