👍That is amazing stuff and what a sleek factory look kit. That was very hard to watch the bike being dropped like that on both sides too. Most drops will still have the rider usually trying to hold onto the bars and a leg out trying to support the weight so even less energy than in your brutal tests Max. Hats off to you for designing and developing such a sleek looking kit that saves so so much pain, inconvenience, cancelled plans and large cost of replacement parts and labour. 🏍️💨🇬🇧 👍
I need therapy after that. Swopped my bike for a Honda350i scooter as difficult mounting at my age. Would have kept it if we're possible to set the centre stand or drop stabilisers to make it solid for getting on and off using cowboy mounts. Job for you amazing guys.
Army Strong Max. Proud to be a friend and customer. I too congratulate you on a job well done in a simple stylistic solution. As with all of us we will support you and add them to are many other quality accessories from Traxxion. Waitin to see the Home and an update on the Garden. 😎
Excellent leadership and design Max! Cringed each time you dropped that beauty! I have a 2013 but still appreciate the engineering and elegant simplicity of your solution!
Max, congratulations to you and your men. Fantastic product. I just dropped my 21 wing a couple of weeks ago on an incline to the right. Held the bike up but after having to finally set it down on the crash bars it kept rolling over onto the mirror and saddle bag. Cosmetic and I'll live with it but I would have had zero damage with your product installed. You just let me know when it goes on sale. You should sell a boatload of them. Again, great work. Stan
A clear thought process and determination wins the day!! No monkey business or hidden tricks. You have put your name on this and have shown us all the proof! Great job. Congratulations!! I can almost...almost feel the pressure when you let go of that handle bar and watched the bike take the fall.
Been waiting to see what you came up with. It looks like an OEM part. Thanks for helping out the GW community again Max. Will be buying when they’re offered for sale.
Idk if I’m more impressed with the product and its functionality or the fact that you can pretty much stand it up by yourself! I’ll certainly be ordering a set. I do wish there was an option for higher speed accidents too
yeah - that was really hard to watch!! lol - was down a few weeks ago getting work done - was great to see you again. This is FANTASTIC - can’t wait to get it!!
Wow max your a dam genius thoroughly impressed amazing looks amazing its so simple is what I am so shocked at I really thought you were gonna come out with some metal shit but this OMG freaking genius in its simplicity and its cosmetic looks I am freaking speechless well done I dont even know what to say but thank you
Bravo! Simplification genius solution! I’ll bet too that the adhesive will secure the protection better too with curing time. My guess too is 99% of us watching this all got a rush of stomach acid from nerves seeing a bike fall 🙆♂️🤦♂️
This is perfect timing, I just brought my new GW home yesterday and was telling the sales manager about this new product coming out. Ill be ordering the engine gaurd and TO protection as soon as it is available.
Who wouldn't cringe as the bike falls over? As an engineer I can relate to "is this really going to work?" BTW, thanks for your advice and help some years ago around the handling issues of a K1600. BMW ended up writing a fat check after losing in court. I guess if we ever cross paths at a waterfront bar, I owe you drinks and dinner.
I got to tell you Max, watching you dropping my bike was giving me a stomach ache, no joke. I said...HOLY FFFFFF......All that weight coming down with the sound of it.....GOD, man. I swear that in 35 years of riding, I never drop a bike, but I get your idea. I think its a cheap insurance to prevent a headache. Although, I have an excellent insurance coverage via Rider Insurance Co. Will check your site for the price per kit. Good deal, boss. The only thing is, the adhesive should really hold under harsh conditions all year round,
Max is the real deal… he cleans the parts with the shirt he was wearing. As it should be. I don’t own a Gold Wing but I’m really enjoying my AR-25 Axxion Rods. 👍
Suggest that you look at 3M VHB double sided tape for fixing the rubber mouldings. They may have to be cleaned with Acetone before applying the tape to remove any moulding extrusion residue. I remember back in the 1980's working for a Tram and Train manufacturer in Australia, the side panels on the tram we were designing were attached with this tape. As a test we joined two pieces of aluminium extrusion together with this tape and could not part the two pieces held in a vice when bashed with a hammer.
What a Great representation of outta the box thinking 👍 More than I expected and you can bet I’ll be shopping again on your site once available. Great Work👊
I have a 2021 tour DCT, black in color, it will look great on the bike, more importantly it will save it from Major damage. Another great Traxxion Dynamics product 👍 👍
Sleek look, amazing test I’ve been waiting every since last week. Can wait to see the cost of this part! I’m soften up from my purchase of the heel toe shifter.
As you promised its not for crashes, but its a great idea for what its designed to do. Was surprised to hear the OEM bars bent after just a couple drops.... shame on Honda.....Congrats
This was an excellent demo Max👏 when we drop our bikes, we always try to hold on to it as much we could to save the bike but you dropped it completely! 👏👏👏 all the best with your new innovation and if I switch my bike to Goldwing, definitely I will purchase your Protection Kit 👍
I assume most of the expense was developing the material for those parts. You've obviously nailed that. Hopefully you will consider developing kits for earlier wings or even Harley Dressers. I'm sold. Proof is in the demo.
I could barely watch. My stomach was churning as you stood there not really wanting to let go of the bike. Amazing product, absolutely hiding in plane sight. If could do the same for an '81 GL1100 and a '044 GL1800 put me down for both. Afterall, I wouldn't want you sat around twiddling your thumbs Max.
My GW was purchased pre-dropped and has scars on the mirrors. The bags have been repainted. I'll be getting these to keep from having to fix/replace those bags again.
Nice job Max! Good Golly that's a whole 'lotta' mass mechanical Sir Isaac Newton's pullin' on eh? If Honda foresees continuing production of their BEHEMOTH, it would make sense if they'd partner with you, so customers who make a honest financial outlay for one of these horses🏍️, would have the protection installed & ready from factory. 🙏🦉
An unbelievable job. Kudos to you Max and your crew. Wish you a world of success. Put one together for a Harley now. All the best. God bless. HKR (north east PA)
Here’s an idea if you haven’t already thought of it… make replacement guard covers of your new material, but a few mm bigger. This might prevent a tip over from going 90 degrees and prevent other damage.
