Hi Joe-You'll like the deflectors for sure. As far as the seat upgrade, Robert White Moto just did a seat upgrade on his 2023 Gold Wing. The company is called "Ultimate Seats."

Robert-Thanks for the feedback on the mic quality. You are absolutely correct. I need to find a better solution. All the best....

Thank you. It was fun working on...and learning a little along the way.

Appreciate your comments. Accessorizing the Gold Wing is a fun process for sure.

So nice of you to comment. Hope all is great with you and your family!

After you take one for a test drive, you are going to think, wow...this handles awesome for a bike that weighs 842 lbs.

Excellent-You'll enjoy it. Just be prepared to answer lots of questions when you are out and about!

Thanks for the kind comments. The new NX 500 is an excellent choice. I know you'll enjoy it!

Thanks!

You make all good points. Almost purchased an AT-used with bags for $11.5K. It was just a little big for me. Go for what your gut says!

Headed out for a breakfast ride this morning...to have some fun...and get a bite to eat!

@@MarksGarage17 enjoy Mark! I like that it sits lower… I’m 5’9”

That will depend a little on your in-seam dimension. You'll certainly be better off as compared to the 1000XR. A friend of mine has an 18 Gold Wing and he is 5' 5" with a 30" in seam. He cannot flatfoot but can touch both feet. Hope that is helpful and good luck with your purchase. Exciting! Make sure you go sit on the Gold Wing.

The good news is not much more. Maybe 1 lb. The aluminum rack is very light...and the two longer grab rails maybe weigh 1/2 lb over the stock one-piece unit. Hope that hgelps!

Hi Mark-Here is the e-mail for Jeff who owns the car. jgoelzer@glacier-gts.com. I will let Jeff know you reached out.

Thanks for the compliment. Lots of ownership pride and time to keep it that way....

One mudguard with pre applied adhesive strip, alcohol wipe, instruction page, box. All of that makes 4 pieces!

@@MarksGarage17 Not that way. The front Mudguard has two protectors, the rear mudguard one and one for the tail tidy.

@@JHelun Dude he counted the box ..

@@MarksGarage17 Meant no ill will. Liked how you did this video and the previous one. Very detailed. As a soon to be owner of a scrambler 400x I am going through a lot these videos and found yours to be very detailed. Just that the other pcs were missing and I was wondering why?

Thanks for your comment. It looked that way, but the Triumph Instructions asked for seat removal.

@@MarksGarage17 When you decide to upgrade the indicators to the round ones, don't bother following Triumph's instructions either. According to them, you need to remove the front wheel and remove the suspension from the yoke to slide the new indicators on the forks. In real life, the indicators brackets are plastic and can be stretched and put on the fork arms in 2 min without removing anything.

There is quite a bit of speculation about the 2025 model. No news yet. It should not be too much longer!

Well, you've inspired me to dig a little deeper to fully understand the mechanics of "how" this system works. I do know the system works well. I did find this on the one of the Honda Goldwing Owner forums. Let me know what you think.... "The ISG (Integrated Starter Generator) combines the generator and starter motor into one component, with the generator effectively becoming the starter motor when supplied with reverse power. When activating Walking Mode the two clutches of DCT are utilised to enable moving backward with clutch #1 and moving forward with clutch #2. In this way, moving forward or backward at walking speed is now possible with only clutch control, without any need for gear shifting. Furthermore, the throttle-by-wire system controls speed by minutely controlling the clutch capacity, while maintaining a certain engine speed, assuring controllability with a sense of security in wide-ranging situations."

Thanks Robert. At $5595, it helps make it cooler. An amazing value for sure.

Yes, you can. They are a little harder to find because a large majority purchase the DCT.

Thanks for your comment and thought on a comparison. I did a Sea to Sky video at this link. czcams.com/video/YVMMTm-QGbk/video.htmlsi=50aEoijlGD-8XFsj Check this out to start and let me know if you have any questions. These are two very different machines.

Thank you. It is incredible how much interest the vehicle gets and how folks love that color combo

The panels are from Wind Mill Slatwall Products. I have another video on my channel in reference to the garage build

Windshield is not taller, but it does have a slight curl at the top which helps guide more air over the top of the rider.

I also owned a Valkyrie-2015 model. Really fun to ride.

@@MarksGarage17 cool I was VRCC member #2430.

Not yet. I think there is a good chance for next year.

There are some aftermarket companies that make a blower. It uses a separate motor to run the blower. www.everythingcanamoffroad.com/ecc-blog/introducing-the-new-canam-defender-snow-blower-snow-plow-/

Very much appreciated.

Thank you. It is one of those color combos that looks even better in person.

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed.

So glad you had a chance to watch this. Love back to you!

That is awesome to hear. Riding on two wheels provides us all a special exemption from a normal day.

I've had mine for a year now, I use it as a daily rider around town. Im at 7k miles now; It has been a great little commuter; tires are cheap, fuel economy is great, and it makes for a gun commute everywhere I go.

It's a fair question. I think it is about being understated in graphics and design. You do get a nice Gold Wing logo come up on the driver information display when you turn the key on! Next year you might see some unique badging for the anniversary edition. Stay tuned.

Thanks again Marauder. Let me see if I can email a few additional pics for you. Cheers, Mark.

Marauder- Thanks for the note and update. Appreciate all your content related to powersports. We'll stay in touch....

Awesome. Great description for how it makes you feel!

Yes…just installed last week!

Hey Tony. Very Cool. It is a great option to have, isn't it? The Vanderhall is a cross hybrid between motorcycle (outside), airplane (gauges and switches), and auto (steering wheel and gas pedal). Enjoy your ownership!

Thanks for your note and congratulations on your 2022 Sea to Sky. Yes, I lucked out when acquiring this 2021 model that came with the luggage. Happy touring!

Yep...Cowboy Mount it is. You and me.
