Hey Robert, that was an awesome overview of your Goldwing accessories. You never notice how much you have added on until you begin to make up a list. I like your choice of products and they sure add to your bike. Thanks for sharing the video. I know the information is solid and a great help for many of us looking for products. Ride Safe.
Very god video Robert! Thank you! Quick Q on 1 item. The Scoshe jump starter…I take it, it’s from Amazon. What is the model number of the jump starter. I only found 1 Scoshe product and it is somewhat foggy as to what t actual is used for, as it appears to do several things like being a plug-in power source for a few other items. Thanks from SW Ontario CANADA🇨🇦 and ride safely.
Randy, thank you for watching... here's the link to the pig tail connector for the Schoshe: a.co/d/d9L9TfK and here's a link to the actual unit: a.co/d/epVLCbF
Hi Robert, Can you tell me where you bought the Utopia backrest? Will it fit a 2021 Honda Gold Wing tour DCT? Thanks Hi Robert, One more question where did you purchase the front fender extension?
Hello Robert. After 3 months, how do you find the quad lock mount ? Have you had any issues with your iPhone mounted to your handle bars? I have recently upgraded to a 15 Pro Max. Surely don’t want any internal damage to the phone. My last iPhone 8 was mounted to a ram ball mount, and had no issues, but the 15 is so much more technically advanced. ie. more to break. Especially the camera mechanism. Thanks for your time. D Mason Aurora Ontario Canada
David hello. No problems whatsoever. The quad lock holds my 15 Pro securely and with that vibration dampener from quad lock ... zero issues with damage to the phone or it's operation. 100% happy.
Confusion over the L side RAM mount. You said get the small version [for 3/8 - 5/8 inch diameter] handlebar? But the issue pertains to the width of the space because of a nub there it seems. Maybe you can provide the RAM model number to clarify. Thank you for doing this video.
Don sorry for the confusion... I actually ordered the wrong size at first too because I was confused. I ordered direct from Ram Mount and the correct part number is: RAM-B-408-75-1U
I stuck through the whole video and have installed many of the same options. I noticed and couldn't help but mentioning that by the looks of your seat, you have a little trouble getting your leg over it ; ) Is that a stock windshield?
David, thank you for watching and commenting!! And you are absolutely right… I drag a boot over that dang seat every time… I’ve given up. But, all along I’ve known I will be moving to an aftermarket seat so I’m not concerned 🙂👍🏻
Robert, I would like to give you a second thanks, a few weeks ago I asked you about where did you get that little LED device on the top of your tour pack ( Guardian Angel). Well you provided that information and I purchased one for my bike for a planned trip to Florida and the coast area of the Carolinas. Well that trip I got into some very heavy rains in heavy traffic, and I had a few guys to tell me that they notice me on the highway at about three miles out. I hit rains from Austin all the way to Jacksonville, Florida to Ft Jackson South Carolina and the same on my return trip back to Austin Texas, each state traveling on the southern coast three times a day in each state. In short, Robert that little LED saved my rear end during my trip and again I would like to thank Jesus and you for the information provided. I was thinking about the unit that you place on the back of your Helmet, but the Guardian Angel has more bells and whistles and is a better tool. I had it clamped on my Saddleman Horseshoe bag that fit perfectly in the passenger seat. All in all, thank you Robert, God blessings to you and your family and I look forward in seeing you one day my friend.
Herman, God's timing is always perfect. I am so pleased you were able to stay safe. I like these little lights a lot. I believe they keep me safe daily, from the distracted drivers here in the Dallas area. The White side of the light I purchased is very bright. God Bless and Ride Safe !!
@@ggusta1 there’s not much of that… necessary is not always a requirement, functional is where I draw that line. It’s a judgement call very personal to each rider.
@@robertwhitemoto there's a lot of things that I thought I couldn't live without, whether it be motorcycles or other stuff that upon actual ownership turned out to be nice but my life is not much better with it, or nice but not good enough to keep or just plain 'you thought you needed it but it's just another thing to break ' along those lines. Example, got a pair of gloves that allow me to touch the screen while riding. Thought I couldn't live without and I like them but they're just not great.
@@robertwhitemoto I'm ok with no nav. They really can't keep up with the advancements in phones and it's ridiculous to try. So long as it has android auto or car play and a large and bright screen there's not much more to expect. Just make the connections simple and reliable
Nice adds! I have the Carlinkit adapter. Do you experience any random disconnect and reconnect as you’re riding? It happens to me and I haven’t yet isolated the cause
Yes actually... not often but it does happen. I'm wondering if it's not some kind of vibration or hiccup with my phone... or maybe when you transfer from one cell tower to the next... not sure. but yes it does happen to me. thanks for watching and commenting Mark!
At least I’m not alone here. It’s just a minor annoyance so far, but if it happens when the GPS is guiding me through some key turns, I will be yelling things in my helmet you probably wouldn’t want to hear :)
Thank you and @cruisemansgarage for all the help and info... I am getting a 2018 goldwing and excited about getting back into riding.. I live in the Fort Worth area and can't wait to start my new adventure. Both riding and updating the bike.
Don congrats on the 2018. The GW is the best bike... for me, and I know you are going to love it. Even though you are in Fort Worth, I you can find your way to carrolton on that new 2018 one Sunday 7am at Awake... It's an open invitation for fellowship and breakfast !!
Robert, thanks for the thorough video! I just sold my gorgeous & wonderful 04’ Wing with the purpose to purchase a 21’ or above. Many that I have seen for sale on Cycle Trader or other sites have bikes with few extras added. Many of the items that you’ve included are those that I would consider. So, thanks again. One last thing ~ regarding the seats ~ I couldn’t agree more. My solution for my 04’, plus two other bikes has been Mr. Ed’s Moto in Albany, Oregon. For those in the PNW, they are a GREAT solution to those seat woes. Just saying :)
Lord,,, I don't know if I can list all the stuff I've put on my Wing. 2018 Wing tour 6MT bought July 2019 new out of the crate with 1 mile on it for a massive discount. Show Chrome bar shims, Grip Puppies. Goldstrike small drink holder, third brake/tail light. Twinart running/turn signals. Honda Aux USB in left saddle bag, saddle bag removable bags. Electrical Connection yellow fog lights. CycleMax trunk organizer. Comfort bars and hwy pegs with tip over cover trim. Bridgestone Driveguard run flat rear tire with Centramatics. Ultimate heated saddle and passenger backrest w/driver backrest. SnakeSkin kits front and saddle bags. I have but not installed yet Traxxion belly pan, tipover kit, tie-rod, dip stick extender. Clearwater under mirror mount Erica driving lights, Electrical Connection power disto block, Sunpie LED set. EBC front and rear brake pads. And I'm sure other stuff I can't remember right now.
Your Gold Wing is absolutely on point Robert. I witnessed it personal and up close. Your choice in accessories are spot on. The Guardian Angel LED light is an excellent device that I currently do not have and you’ve piqued my interest. The onboard cameras in my opinion are a must. I don’t know if you thought about Gold Strike highways pegs for the long haul. You know when you take that day trip to say, The 3 Sisters. Give your legs a stretch. Excellent appointments Robert. I’m hoping to ride with you one day. For additional ideas for folks, my accessories are all listed within the description of video by my friends over at Middle Aged Road Rage created when they featured my Gold Wing on one of their Gold Wing of the Week episodes. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rCU0Z5C9gGs.htmlsi=Dlx82O-iV5OEQ7wp
Guys let’s me encourage you to go check out Road Glides bike on that other channel. Having seen it in person now it’s in the top 5 most beautiful Goldwings I’ve ever seen ! Thanks RG I won’t likely get the highway pegs, in all my years of riding and multiple multi-state rides I just have not needed them. They put a little too much weight on my tail bone by taking out that support structure of my legs and slightly rotating my torso back a little.
Another good video, Robert. After seeing Cruiseman's video on the Fanttik tire inflator, i bought the smaller X8 version. I've topped up my 2018 DCT rear tire a couple of times, & my bicycle tires several times, it worked well & held a charge for several months. I'm not sure how well it'll do on a larger car tire, but I've always been concerned about weight on motorcycles.
Nick it has worked well for me… and it didn’t take all that long to air up my completely flat back tire the other day. Thank you as always for watching and commenting!!
I have added a lot of the same accessories to my 2021 Goldwing that you have. This spring I will add the STRIKE WINDSHIELD TRIM but haven't decided it it will be chrome or black.
Great video pick up my 23 bagger Saturday 2/2/24 can't sleep lol thanks for all the info on the add on for your bike, I just purchased the Kisan tail blazer direct from Kisan. just what i was looking for thanks for the help!
You need to put some medium Locktite on the screws of the kickstand pad.. I lost a highway peg that had come lose about a year ago. The saddle bad organizers look great. 🙂
I have the Traxxion Dynamics kickstand foot for my 21 DCT Tour, it’s essential I feel. I’ve never had to retighten it, ever. Works like a champ! Thank you for a cool video.
Focus on the belly pan and tip over protection first then… problems there, without those could really kill your budget 👍🏻 Thank you for watching and commenting
Hi Robert... Excellent video! Quick question... in this video as well as one of your previous ones, you mention that you had installed the Panicle upper wind deflectors (the ones that mount to the underside of the mirrors),. You then mentioned that you removed them, but I was unclear as to your reason why. While I haven't ridden with them yet (still dealing with the frozen Northeast here in NY) I did install them over the winter and I'm anxious to test them out. Just wanted to know if you could elaborate as to what you felt was wrong with them. Thanks so much, and keep those great videos coming!
Scott, it may have just been my bike, but I could never get the left deflector to feel solid… it was always loose, so much so that the wind could move it if strong enough. The Panicle upper deflectors only have a one bolt mounting solution whereas many of the others are two bolts. I just don’t have a good feeling eventually… yours may be just fine. My right one seemed to be more solid than my left. Ride Safe and thank you for the kind words and for supporting the channel!!
@@robertwhitemoto Ahhh.. Now I get it. And I can see your point. I suppose time will tell as I haven't ridden with them yet. That said, I did have the Showchrome ones on there last year, and as you said they are mounted with two bolts. The problem however, which may not exist for you in Texas, is that up here in the Northeast when it gets cold those Showchrome ones would get real brittle, and attempting to adjust them would snap them. I had to order new ones twice. Hence the need for something else.
Great video Robert! I'm sure you appreciate every one of these add-ons every time you ride. That belly pan is a must! I came off an unexpected side walk during my cross country trip the other day and it chipped part of my engine case fortunately not cracking the case. I'm ordering the pan thru your link below very soon. It was memorable meeting you guys the other day! ;-)
Jimmy!! Likewise my friend. Thank you for taking the time on this amazing trip of yours to stop in and say hello! I always love meeting members of the family. And that bike of yours! Wow fantastic. I know both Cruiseman and I ware working on videos of the day ! Ride Safe Jimmy !!
