I don’t have a tank bag on the goldwing, because it has a false tank that actually contains some storage and the air box. In the false tank storage is one thing: painters tape so I could tape over one of the two air box intakes when the weather gets really cold and it gets super cold blooded.

Possession is 9/10ths of the law. They own those goldwings

Oh, I owned one, so I know first hand how absolutely terminally boring they are. Their styling writes a check that that motor cannot possibly cash

The extra disappointing part is the versys chassis, suspension and brakes are all really better than they have any right to be. The chassis says “fun” and the motor says “wet fart”

HenryJLittlefinger posted:Is the Versys engine the same as the Ninja 650? For all the hate that engine gets, I can't understand why it was a favorite of stunters for a while. It’s very reliable, torquey, compact and makes good power. It’s just boring along with all that. ionn posted:Idk, me being a total beginner it's enough engine to provide me with any amount of fun I have any business having. Since I can easily outrun my brothers oversized moped, I've never so far felt 60-something hp isn't fully sufficient. It’s very reliable, torquey, compact and makes good power. It’s just boring along with all that.

The ninja 650 motor was also the engine swap of choice for aprilia sxv 550’s that blew up I want to be clear: they are very good motors. But good and fun/interesting are two different things

Eventually you’ll get the urge to get something really sporty, engaging and quick. So you’ll go out and get a used SV

Honestly I get a ton of random people, men and women actually, commenting on the goldwing with some form of “I had one of those! I loved it!”, or “what year/how many miles?” Everyone remembers their Oldwing fondly it seems. Also they’re apparently dadbikes AND mombikes?

I don’t track mileage on my bikes, but I can say a strong tailwind on the goldwing makes it utterly silent Between the reduced wind noise and the reduced engine load it’s whisper quiet

My goldwing had the CB rig, and some PO ripped it out. I was so close to glory!!!!! Even if it didn’t work that button pod is hilariously awesome

I have that exact same bike. It’s a road couch for sure, but also pretty fun to ride and will absolutely demolish miles without complaint I wish mine was that low mileage however, drat

My understanding is that honda used the same PGM-FI that they used on their cars of that time period (not sure what changes to make the transition to a motorcycle engine), and its pretty reliable

Phy posted:Pdfs have their upsides, to be sure. If they're fully ocr'ed and searchable and have a table of contents that works on your device's pdf reader app, they're pretty decent to use. Yeah it’s all of this. Also the goldwing manual was scanned long enough ago that it probably wouldn’t OCR reliably anyway. I have a rugged windows 10 tablet I use for google searches and YouTube tutorials in the garage, but for manuals I like paper

I’m not even sort of ashamed to admit that I have a cupholder coming from Amazon this weekend. Today I had the good idea to grab lunch and eat by a river, which is conveniently a relaxing 20 minute goldwing ride away. I got my food, which went in the top box and my drink, which I wound up having to stash in the fuel filler door. It worked pretty well actually, but wasn’t convenient, and it spent a solid 5 minutes being blasted by hot engine air. Cupholder it is, then A pic from said lunch

I wouldn’t drink out of it, just transport. I got one that I can take off easily so it’s not on all the time

Remy Marathe posted:That looks like the one I got, keep checking the clamp knob if you did it hand tight, I continued to get new play the first few weeks, probably till I hand tightened on a cold morning. I cranked it down pretty tight but I’ll keep an eye on it just in case. I also might only put it on when I have something to carry, depending on how obnoxious it is to leave on the bar.
