Well maintained, ood looking and a very comfortable tourer. Selling it because of health reasons. 10 wonderful years of memories touring on this motorcycle!

Includes:

Receipts for most of the accessories.

Silver powder coated wheels. No more corrosion or polishing! Cost $100/wheel.

Wing Soft re-padded rider, assenger seat and passenger backrest. Re-padded passenger backrest puts passenger in an upright position instead of stock “leaning back” position; which is uncomfortable for most people. I had the seat re-padded again in 2011 and I estimate that this re-padding only has about 4,000 miles on it. Very comfortable.

Utopia backrest with pouch on rear that passenger can use. The backrest is removable, ut wouldn’t consider riding without it as it really adds a lot of comfort! Instructions and some extra parts included.

Alarm with remote – includes documentation.

CB Radio – cost $600 new, ncludes documentation.

Heated Grips - includes documentation

Headlight & Taillight modulators – I won’t ride a bike without a headlight modulator as I’ve seen many deer come out, ee the modulating headlight and run back off the road.In 2013 in North Carolina I came around a blind curve and there stood a big Black bear and there was nowhere to go, ut once he saw the modulating headlight he ran off the road! Headlight modulator has an on/off switch and sensor that turns them off automatically when dark. Includes documentation.

Hand wings – below the mirrors. Small, ut make big difference in buffeting on the passenger, educing cold air on riders and capability to direct air in hot weather - includes documentation.

Driving lights with plastic protection covers. Easily removed for cleaning. Includes documentation

Plastic protection covers for the very expensive glass headlights. Easily removed for cleaning.

Stainless steel belly pan.

Motorcycle cover.

Handlebar relocators – raise 2”, ove 2” back. Can be removed. Includes documentation

Handle bar chrome helmet posts/hangers.

RAM mounts for GPS's, tc.

Antenna splitter and antenna fold down adapter. Allows AM/FM/Weather radio/CB to all use one antenna. One antenna instead of two allows easier mounting for passenger and requires only one antenna to be folded when putting motorcycle cover on.

Firecreek Windbender HP windshield. Much better than stock. Stock windshield creates vacuum; which creates buffeting and can suck rain right up on the inside where it stays and blinds you (been there)! Air moves up both sides of the Firecreek; which removes the vacuum and vastly reduces buffeting. Much easier to adjust than stock and can be removed in a couple of seconds for cleaning, tc. $250 new - includes documentation.

Mic-mutes – allows rider/passenger to toggle the intercom on/off. Much better than the built in VOX - includes documentation.

Voltmeter - includes documentation

Chrome front fender extension.

Exhaust “turn downs” – Original outlets are available if you want them.

Trunk Rack – Trunk racks can cause trunk lid to crack. When this rack was installed I put a 2” diameter of fiberglass matting on the inside of the trunk lid along with a 2” diameter rubber and aluminum fender washers on each of the four rack bolts. They are hidden. No cracking!

Larger foot for the side stand so it doesn’t sink into blacktop.

Magnet on center stand to trip traffic lights with sensors. Does work!

Powerlet socket; which allows to quickly plug in a Battery Tender or equivalent. Includes a “pigtail” for a Battery Tender - includes documentation.

Saddlebag & Trunk carpeting and storage pockets. Spare fuses that light up if they are blown are included in the saddlebag pockets. I also made some easily removed/installed saddlebag netting. When we went on trips we used luggage that fit in the saddlebags, ut other times I used the netting to keep things organized in the saddlebag.

Cigarette lighter style power outlet in trunk. There is also a stereo jack in the trunk with wire that runs up under the left storage pocket. It presently is not connected to anything, ut can easily be made functional.

Passenger cup holder.

Tires:

The tires are 2/3 worn. The measurement used was comparing the depth to the tire wear bars on the existing tires and comparing them with a set of tires with zero miles. If anyone is interested I have a set of silver powder coated wheels with zero miles tires on them I will sell for $400. I have over $700 invested in them. Very convenient when it comes time to change tires!

Maintenance:

This motorcycle has always had appropriate maintenance done. It is a very reliable ride. Recent maintenance (this year) includes:

New battery
Brakes and clutch fluid flushed
Oil & filter changed - estimate less than 400 miles on oil.
Valves checked and re-shimmed as necessary

Other:

Goldwing valve covers are aluminum with lacquer clear coating. Unfortunately, t seems Honda didn’t do a very good job and they often oxidize under that clear coating and end up looking nasty, s mine ended up. This spring I removed the clear coating and with many hours of sanding, uffeting and re-clear coating ended up with better looking than new valve covers. Look at the pictures!!

Payment:

Only Cashier’s check or cashaccepted for final payment when bike is picked up.

If you are bringing a cashier’s check contact me with the check number, he exact amount on the check and the location & phone number of the establishment issuing the check so I can contact them to verify the check.Yes, ashier’s checks can be forged.

If you are bringing cash, hen you arrive we need to go to my Credit Union and have the cash verified; which also means that you would have to be here well before 4pm when the credit union closes.

Test Ride:

If you want to test ride the bike I will hold either the cashier’s check or cash.If the motorcycle is brought back in the same condition it left on the test ride and if for some reason you decide not to purchase the bike I will gladly refund your money – otherwise you own the motorcycle.
