In the few hours since you posted this update I already see 32 probable sales..add me and three others in my chapter and it's 36. More will follow I'm sure. Looking forward to the finshed product and thank you very much!
I am interested to see what you come up with. I would be looking for something that would protect the bike in the event of dropping during slow-speed maneuvers.
Great to see you back Max. This vid should come with a warning: "Contains graphic images that some viewers may find disturbing". To see your bike tip over, I could barely watch. And not just once. Testament to Traxxion's commitment to product research and design.
Oh my. Watching that wing fall was tough. I dropped my wing backing up. The right mirror was folded in and when I turned to the right the brake lever hit the mirror and took me by surprise. How or why that mirror was folded in is beyond me. It was an easy drop and only messed up some lower plastic. But, lesson learned. Don’t ever fold in your mirrors. This project of yours will be interesting. I like a lot of your ideas, the best was the seat bolts. They are awesome and I don’t fight nothing lining them up on my DCT. Awesome solution to a frustrating problem.
That was hilarious, but I cringed when you showed it. Tip overs can happen when you least expect it, been there done that so I'm speaking from experience. Great to see you back to producing videos!!
Another nice one Max. For me slow speed manuevers where the protection is needed. I have the comfort bars but the bags still hit the ground but otherwise it's pretty good. Love to see what you come up with.
Great to see this video, Max. I've "liked" it and posted this video on Facebook for any 2018+ Honda Goldwing owners. I'm looking forward to purchasing your "new" and "better" tip-over protection. :) Great comments have already preceded me on your CZcams channel regarding "tip-over protection." :)
Ouch! Interesting stuff. No longer a goldwing owner, but this is still cool. I was in the Hollywood hills on my 2018, trying to park, and when I put down a foot, I didn't have the reach because of the grade. However, I did like You said, and did my best to guide the bike down, and it didn't go past the built in protectors. Had to recruit a couple of helpers to get it back up though. Wings are heavy when the drop on a downhill.
Your absolutely right about tip over if your with the bike. I was backing up and hit a divot in the concrete that yanked the bike hard to my left. I hung on as much as I could and the bike went over like it hit a pillow. No damage done.
Max, While taking my bike off the center stand on a hill with the tire at an odd angle, I had my bike flip over, damage the bags, mirror, tailpipe, break lever etc... and that was with me trying to stop it. Had to ride over 1000 miles with a 1 finger break lever. Also while practicing low speed maneuvers I can see a scenario where you are giving the bike too much throttle or it gives you a little jerk as you engage the throttle and off you go as the bike spills with power behind it (DCT version). Anyway, never say never :-)
Max, we have the goldstrike driver foot pegs. Our bike (2018) tipped over one time last due to wet boot bottoms slipping off the center stand when trying to put it on the stand. It fell completely over on the right side. The mounting brackets for the foot pegs kept the bike off the saddlebag and the mirror. Picked the bike back up, not a scratch on the bike and no damage to the mounting brackets on the foot pegs.
Your videos have been a great aid with my new 2021 Goldwing Tour (I pull a trailer so I'm uncomfortable with the Automatic). I thought about your potential tip-over scenario and I always thought that an additional side stand, reverse engineered, on the right side of the bike, wired in series with the Honda safeties, would probably handle just about any situation short of a tornado. I also thought it would be great to have when you're in the mountains and the only place to park is where the street slopes beyond the side-stand angle on the left side and there's no parking on the right side of the street/road. Just sayin' . . . . John Geiler: President, Shadow Riders STL
That's a pretty cool idea... but the production would definitely have to come from Honda. The sidestand on a Goldwing is the most abused part on the motorcycle. Almost anything other than a factory designed in part couldn't take the abuse.
I bought my Case guard from a Motorcycle Accessory Store online and it was an extension for the front almost like the old Goldwing's had. I have no idea why Honda would do this on their newer bikes. This kit cost me $500 dollars and a 2 hour install. Like Max said you have to peel off the tupperware so you can bolt this kit to the frame. I just cannot remember the Store name. That was a year ago.
so this happened to me in a similar fashion, very upsetting but now fixed. So your product is sorely needed, Yes you are correct if one can be there to prevent a total tip over it will generally stop at the honda stops.
I was practicing in a parking lot with mine last year. The protection from Honda protected a good deal. Bent the exhaust cover, black cover damage and I ended up on my back wondering what just happened. LOL. Be interested to see what the tip over protection looks like when finished. Cringed when I saw your bike hit the ground. Jeez!
My 2020 was tipped over on the right side, scratched bag and bottom mirror mount. With this being said I'm looking forward to see what you come up with.
Tip over for 1) dropping bike while slow riding such as in a parking lot or during motorcycle safety courses and 2) parked on down slope without e-brake and rolling forward and off kickstand. I've seen both bang up saddlebag covers
Max while you’re on the subject of tip over I have a request would you look into developing a landing gear for the Goldwing for people that have issues with her legs
Hi David! That one is too complex for us, and the demand is so very limited. Those are almost custom one-off jobs. I would contact the guy who's already done it and see if he can make you a kit.
You are a hoot! Mite as well make money on products that some really have no real concept BUT I believe they are those that have never wrenched nor ever had the desire to and will always take to a Shop. Their goal is less parts and labor with original parts.
I swear I have to stop watching these videos!! It makes me want to sell my 2018 HD Ultra Limited, buy a new Goldwing and come down to Georgia and put all these cool mods on and then ride a True X like Capt. Chuck did!! 😲😲👍👍
Thanks for this, I was getting ready to ask what was happening with your tip over protection. I found out the hard way that my comfort bars are not doing what I expected them to. The big issue is, with some of the accessories I have to end up uninstalling them to get other accessories installed in some cases. They have also caused me to crack or damage some plastic panels. Looking forward to your solution. Thanks
We need your help Max!!! What's happening with our 2018+ GoldWing tipover protection...?! All the stuff that's available out there at the moment looks like rubbish.
I think the issue for most riders, me included, is the minimal protection that Honda provides in the event of dropping the bike during slow speed maneuvers. I consider myself a fairly good rider, but my slow speed maneuvering needs work and I’m hesitant to even practice knowing that a drop, even at such slow speeds, is possibly going to cause some substantial damage. I’ve seen a video by another CZcamsr who designed and built a “T” extension for the stock Honda protection. While they’re kind of ugly, they work quite well in the low speed tip-over scenario. I’m anxious to see what you come up with. Another quality product, I’m sure.
I'll second that motion. Mine is my ONLY mode of transportation. It did tip totally over once and that was enough for me, so yes practicing any sort of slow turns are out of the question due to the fact of very little protection, so I am all in on whatever Max comes up with. I trust his instincts.
keep up the great work, Have ordered a few things from you and Do plan to order others in the future... Turtle. Oh yeah, forget the dawg bowel labels . Stick with what you know, LOL
well I as practicing my slow maneuvering a couple weeks ago. Bike locked all the way left and down I went. Wasn't the bikes fault it was mine was trying to find the sweet spot (throttle/braking) in a tight turn. Did tip all the way over and yes some scratches were left behind on saddle bag handle bar end and the mirror housing. Nothing really bad but really hurt my feelings do this.
Max, I don’t agree with you that the bike WILL NOT roll onto the lid. Mine went the other way and I could not stop it for anything. It rolled and my lid is now scratched and will need to be painted. How did this happen? Taking it off the center stand, on a hill, I was on the left side and it went right. I did have a hold of it.
I guess anything is possible.... Watch my videos about using the centerstand. You need to turn your wheel to the right when you push your bike off the stand, which will always make it tilt toward you.
Hey Max, I am eagerly waiting for your tip-over solution to become available, so that I can order it together with your engine case protection. Living in Europe, I want to avoid 2 shipments and associated higher import taxes (in total). Should I keep waiting ? Any outlook on availability ?
Any updates on the tip over protection? My experience is that the oem tip over protection does not prevent the bike from rolling over onto the saddle bag and the mirror surround. $1,200 per drop or tip over is not acceptable. These are expensive motorcycles and should include proper engineering to minimize damage. Plastic painted parts are expensive. This is preventable!
Had to make a small change to one of the molds and it set us back a month. But everything is finalized, waiting on the molds to be shipped to the USA for production run.
I have some neuropathy that affects my left arm, and leg. I have dropped my 2018 Wing on two occasions. The damage to the saddle bag and the mirror surround occurred just as you described. The cost to repair was about $1,000 in parts each time. I removed and replaced the parts myself. Where I disagree with you is the with your assertion that the factory guards provide any protection at all. They do not. They do not extend out far enough to provide any protection at all. I don’t know what you have in mind, but anything would be an improvement on the original design.
Final prototypes are set to arrive today hopefully. If that is good, then fixtures and tooling will come to our shop which will take a few weeks. Then some production run, and ready for sale... another month for sure. Sorry!
Yes, we are having some molds made for some of the parts, and that has been a long painful process. They are now about to be produced, so there is light at the end of the tunnel!
@@airlaurian The molds are being shipped to the USA... I am going to pay $7,000 to have them flown by an airplane in 10 days or so. If I have them sent by a boat, it will be another 2 months delay (for $2000).
If you don’t have 50 bucks you shouldn’t be riding a GW. I started laughing. But I’m still hoping for a higher backseat for the passenger when you take the rear bag off.

Its good to see the Honda protection working 🙂
I was surprised it worked better than I thought the way people make it seem.
All hail king max!!! Can’t wait to see what you come up with.

Have you seen my Mirror Stop? It prevents you from tipping your bike over when the mirror is folded, even by accident. I think it's like $10...
I hope something is created soon, and I trust max will be the one who does it.
Looking forward to the next update ...

Ready to buy. I have been lucky with my Goldwing so far but I did drop my Concours-14 once. Luckily I didn't have the bags on at the time!
Thanks Max & Team. Continue to do what you do 😊

The $50 comment was hilarious! 😁

Hi Linda,
We sell a little "Anti Slip Patch" for $4 that goes on the centerstand where you step on it to prevent that from happening!
