[Drgsin]

I dont want to play this game. Im over 5 Gs and dont want to keep reminding myself...and i dont want there to be any proof of it. lol.

 

[chicagobob]

Just a center stand to ease tire work (I have the 6-speed GL1800B), and an F4 20" windshield for long trips. I love the bike the way it is.

 

[Tuck]

Oh well, I guess I can play as I haven't really added that much...

OEM Trunk rack
OEM LED brake light
EC brake light flash/running light cables
EC LED fog lights
SiriusXM antenna
Goldstrike Adjustable Highway pegs
Utopia Backrest
Cruzer Caddy cup holder
Grip Puppies
Crampbuster
Helibar risers
Optimate battery tender leads
IBA license plate holder

I'm still considering the F4 windshield 20", RDL or Corbin seat, and either the Pack-It rack setup or adding a trailer. Might also consider adding a fuse block so I can add heated clothes and maybe some other lighting options.

Stuff I forgot...
Ultragard full cover
Ultragard trunk bag

These are specific to this bike. I've bought other gear like a new helmet, new riding gear (jacket and pants), and will be adding to the collection as I'm rarely satisfied with what I do. It's a personal thing.

Man, I'm either very frugal or complacent.

Honda OEM Fog Lights
Honda OEM Passenger Arm Rests
Honda OEM Trunk Organizer
Aerostich Cable to Use with Helmet Lock T-Bar
Battery Tender Cable (added by dealer)
Clutch Ram Mount for my EZ-Pass
Kuryakyn Universal Throttle Boss

The bike worked for me out of the box. :wink2:

 

[remoandiris]

$20 XM antenna.
Battery Tender connector off my venerable 88 GL1500. I sometimes still miss the unbeatable comfort of that bike.
F4 windshield that made little difference from the stock.
Baker Built Air Wings and lowers that I think look fine (will remove the lowers if I ever install highway pegs.
Goldstrike tie down brackets I use frequently.
Goldstrike floorboards that make little improvement over the OEM foot pegs.
Hartco saddle that is not heated, but is infinitely more comfy than the OEM rock.
Grip puppies.
Custom color from HOR.
Harbor Freight tool bags that serve perfectly as saddlebag liners.
Will have the Xpel body protection film installed in Fla next month.

Won't install much more. I'm no longer into chrome, pin striping, extra lights, or stuff that requires cleaning. Been over that nonsense for a few decades.

Gasoline.

E10 or E0, whichever is convenient.

???? what color? pics?

Uranium Pearl Green.

 

[Fenry]

12v power outlet (installed at delivery)
Center stand (installed at delivery)
Grip Puppies
Utopia back rest
National Cycle Comfort bars with Rivco pegs
Front fender leading edge trim (black)
Front fender rear extension (black)
Wimius L3 camera
CycleMax saddlebag dividers

Pretty minor stuff, mostly. The bike is so near perfect out the door that I have to go out of my way to find things to spend money on for it (besides mousetraps:frown2 But I'm trying to ensure that nothing I add subtracts from the bike's OEM aesthetics.

And I do have to confess that I installed MOPS for one trip but threw them away as soon as I got back. The one item that was a complete waste of money.

 

[Drgsin]

Uranium Pearl Green.

is this the "traxxion" bike? love the color choice.

What was issue with MOPS

What was issue with MOPS

Fenry may be referring to a thread I started on ****-O-Pegs some time ago. I'm tall with long legs, big feet and the stock MOP's interfered with getting my right foot on & off the rear brake, the pegs would snag my pant leg when going to put my feet on the ground. Both are potentially dangerous. Pegs would also hit the front of my shins when backing up the bike. If you are of average build and height these will likely not be issues for you.

I reached out to MOP directly but they never gave much of a response. In the end I spent my own time and money to modify their product to meet my needs as described in this thread. They are perfect the way I have them set up now. But MOP's has shown no interest in manufacturing a modified product to accommodate tall riders. I sent them links to this thread and offered to help for free, nothing but crickets. Too bad.

https://gl1800riders.com/forums/193-2018-goldwing-board/435215-another-****-o-peg-install.html

Wish I had know before Fenry threw them out, I could have used the spare parts.

 

[virginiawing]

Im pretty sure that it is not. The Traxxion bike has TE badges where the Honda Badges are.

 

[Fenry]

What was issue with MOPS

They prevented my feet from moving off the OEM pegs. When I attempted a workaround by shimming them down to the same height as the pegs, they obstructed getting my foot down at stops. Almost dropped the bike a couple of times.

Early on I reported the poor design to MOP and they blew me off. Then I reported the poor machining (clamp halves didn't mate properly on one side) and I got "sorry you didn't get a flawless set". No apology, no offer to replace, no offer to reduce price, no offer of any kind of accommodation or adjustment.

When I buy a brand new product I expect it to be as "flawless" as the manufacturer can make it. I paid top dollar for the set (one of the first buyers pre-2018 WingDing) and I expected a quality product. Failing that I expect the vendor to stand behind it.

Struck out on all counts. Never again.

I consider the design of the MOPS for 2018 to be a safety hazard for some operators (they extend too far back for tall riders with large boot sizes and effectively "cage" the operator's feet from any lateral movement off the OEM pegs). That's why I tossed them in the trashcan; I didn't want another rider's misfortune on my conscience.

Since the Father retired, it's just not the same customer service or quality product unfortunately. Both would not be that difficult to fix but they don't seem to care.

No, the traxxion bike is dark green, like a British Racing green.

Gee, this list can get long real quick.... The CB and Kradle Lock I got for the Suzuki Boulevard, but moved to the ST1800. The gadget mount I had gotten years ago for a prior Goldwing long before getting a Kradle Lock and found I could not use the Zumo mount on it by itself (I kept it, unable to use for a few years). The Kradle Lock solved the mounting issue allowing me to use it. I do have a much longer list on my 2010 with most of the same or similar items listed here.

Big Bike multi-purpose fuse block w/p&p harness
2 6 fuse panels (1 for "on" 1 for "acc")
Gold Strike trunk lights

LED interior lights (all compartments reed switch operated, self assembled)
Dual Helmet Lock kit at license plate
