The War Horse is still running the original, the prototype, the first out the door, the very best GoldWing belly pan on the road! I’ve still got the “bullet hole” oil filter that happened before Max installed the prototype on the War Horse.
Whoa!!! Max "The Magician" McAllister and his excellent products!! I'm sure that customer was so relieved that he made the small investment in buying the engine case guard. A great video Max, and a novel idea to provide customers with a replacement program like that.
The rider should be buying you dinner! 😉 Excellent quality built product as usual from Traxxion......nice to see real feedback from riders on how well it protects.
I also keep telling the people bitching about having to remove it and hard to put back on that all you have to do is leave the front right outside bolt in place just loose and you can swing it out of the way to change oil. Easy peasy.
One thing I noticed about the engine guard is the engine noise while riding. It does seem to amplify the engine sound while riding. It's not really significant, but noticeable.
Thanks for saving my friends bike. He ran over the curb, and was able to get up and running again with minimal difficulty. I saw that sheared bolt first hand because I helped him take it apart. I hope I never need to test disaster on my bike, but good to know I have the best solution to protect my engine case.
Incredible . Bash replacement . Great idea . Love it . I’m loving my bike the suspension just keeps leaving me god smacked at how well it performs . I feel so much more confident and ride much more aggressively now . Max please thank everyone there for me . Best to you all
WOW! I know just how sturdy 6061 aircraft aluminum is, especially at that thickness. That is just unreal. The bad luck needed to do that kind of damage (outside of a lab) is is truly mind boggling and if that plate had not been on the bike, that would have been the end of that engine. I got into an argument one time with a well known rider, on the benefit of a belly pan on the 5th generation Goldwing. His argument was you don't need a belly pan if you pay attention to where you're going. My response was, "do you think the pilots of the Concorde that suffered a ruptured fuel tank on take off , that subsequently caused a crash and a huge loss of life, did those guys not pay attention to where they were going?" He clammed up quickly and several years later posted on a message board that he wished he had a belly pan on when ran over a step ladder one night that had fallen off a trailer and punctured his coolant reservoir. Every 6th gen Goldwing owner should have one of these on their bike. It's cheap insurance. Good job making an excellent product Max!
…collected his thoughts….AND CLEANED OUT HIS PANTS!!! #maxismyhero. #cheapinsurance You can’t get a new bike…imagine how long it will take to get a new case and labor to fix? Haters better recognize.
Trailer hitch balls are scary things. My brother’s car was totaled when his daughter rear ended a pickup with the hitch ball installed. I’m not sure the pickup sustained any damage. Then there is the time when everyone hits one with his knee. Looks like a very necessary piece for the Goldwing. It reminds me of the jar that tire stores keep to show what can end up in tires. I once picked up a Revlon tweezers that went into my car tire, both points first. Somehow the tire held air until I got home. The flexing end had worn away so the two sides were no longer connected.
@@Traxxion It was good luck because car makers rarely include spare tires in cars anymore. The mobility kit (compressor with a can of goo) has not proven effective in my experience.
I ran over one of those beach tent peg coil looking things that hold tents into the sand. It was about 18" long and maybe 3/8" coiled aluminum (I assume). I sounded like a shotgun as it slammed into my case guard. When I got it home and on the lift it has a small scratch on the guard. Would it have been in the right place to knock a hole in the case I don't think so, but I will say it made me feel better knowing the guard was between me and that F-ing tent peg.
I don't understand your question... Do you mean the engine was damaged by the act of installing the plate, or while it was in use in the road? In either case, no one had an engine damaged while our plate was in use.
I guess you could say to all the nay sayers that think being bolted directly to the case is a no no that they were wrong! lol. Yes I do have your plate and very please with it. Thanks Max.
The thing that I don't see mentioned is the fact that if you crack the engine case and spew out oil you may be going for a slippery ride that may end up with injuries. Especially if you are turning at all. The engine damage is secondary for me to my personal safety. The roads and freeways here are littered with debris. I guess that's why I wear an airbag vest.
As demonstrated, the Traxxion Dynamics Engine Case Guard prevents even the most extreme road debris from damaging the engine cases. There are several videos on this topic on my channel you can watch.
@@Traxxion I already have your guard. The safety aspect is more important to me than engine damage is all I was referring to. I err on the side of safety. I have to in my line of work and it carries over to my personal life. All my ATC's, TRX's and RZR's had aftermarket skid protection for the same reasons.
Hey max Michael from charlotte nc love your videos I want to buy a engine case guard for my 2023 honda goldwing tour dct what is the difference between standard and the alcan dont know what that means
Impossible... haha. You need to remove the 7 screws that hold the plate up. Takes an extra minute or two in each direction. The brackets and bodywork stay in place.
@@Traxxion thanks Max. i love your videos and humor. i bought a 2019 Black goldwing dct wiht 2700 miles on it about 3 weeks ago. this thing is a blast. thanks for the comfort block also. got that in and installed on memorial day.

Have mine installed 2 weeks after I got my wing, absolutely love this plate, and removing during an oil changes takes about 1 minute.
Can you believe the people who ask "how much longer is it going to take to change my oil? " Are they in a NASCAR pit stop or something?
Just bought a new 2024 Wing. Picking it up this week, but I won't be riding it until my Traxxion plate is installed!
Thank you I O!!! I hope you never "need" it! Be sure to check out my series comparing 5 models of protection!
Whoa!!! Max "The Magician" McAllister and his excellent products!! I'm sure that customer was so relieved that he made the small investment in buying the engine case guard. A great video Max, and a novel idea to provide customers with a replacement program like that.
His wife was VERY thankful this part was on their bike!
Like his wife, I am more thankful after seeing this example, that I too have this engine guard on my bike.
Ok... Now I'm convinced!
I am truly impressed and must buy this engine guard. Thanks again Max for being our Goldwing Whisperer! 💪🏾
We get reports every week now like this.
The rider should be buying you dinner! 😉

Just wanted to say thank you for your commitment to GoldWing riders! What quality videos and top-notch products!
Glad you like them!
You my friend are awesome!! Thanks for taking care of our machines
Thanks again.
You bet!
Well Sir! Just picked a 2022 metallic black tour DCT yesterday!! So I hope you have parts!!? 😆
I bought my 2021 new last Spring... I installed this case guard the day I got the bike.
The force was with him!! 😲😲🚀🚀WOW!! EXCELLENT product and Wing protection!! 👍👍💯💯
Yes indeed!
I hope this product makes you millions❤ it’s a great American idea!
I don't know about millions, but with each gizmo I make, it helps us have people put more items in the cart!
Great product! Glad I have one on my GW.
Right on!

I haven't heard that before. Interesting.

Cool!
Installed mine this week.
Thank you!
Wow good stuff!!
Thank you have to love a company that stands behind their products

Thanks Bartman!
2024 is actually stronger, just that 6061 will give disbursing effect on the impact
Thanks Max for the great Product, I ordered and installed your Belly pan. 2021 Goldwing Tour. Maxim from Victoria BC Canada
I hope you never need it! Good luck!

I love these stories!
Have you ever had someone damage their engine due to the plate being mounted to to it? Thanks
I don't understand your question...
Do you mean the engine was damaged by the act of installing the plate, or while it was in use in the road?
In either case, no one had an engine damaged while our plate was in use.
@@Traxxion Question was damaged while using your plate since it is attached to the motor itself. Thanks for the reply.
I guess you could say to all the nay sayers that think being bolted directly to the case is a no no that they were wrong! lol. Yes I do have your plate and very please with it. Thanks Max.
You nailed it my friend!

Hey max Michael from charlotte nc love your videos I want to buy a engine case guard for my 2023 honda goldwing tour dct what is the difference between standard and the alcan dont know what that means
The Alcan plate is 2" wider for people who ride on more extreme roads, like the "Alcan Highway"... gravel, etc.
Don’t want to ride my bike after watching this video .
Hey Max, how hard is it to change the engine oil with this guard in place? thanks
Impossible... haha. You need to remove the 7 screws that hold the plate up. Takes an extra minute or two in each direction. The brackets and bodywork stay in place.
@@Traxxion thanks Max. i love your videos and humor. i bought a 2019 Black goldwing dct wiht 2700 miles on it about 3 weeks ago. this thing is a blast. thanks for the comfort block also. got that in and installed on memorial day.
@@MikePizzolatt people love that little block...
What does the plate and mounts cost ?
traxxion.com/product/2018-honda-goldwing-engine-case-guard/
Can i purchase plate in uk for my 21 gold wing ?
www.traxxion.com
Of course!
So why doesn't Honda start putting these on when they built it??????
I'm sure they don't believe there's a problem...
So when do we get one for the 2015 F6B ?????
I may have to take a look at the previous Wing, as this product has been successful for us.
Make it your self, probably less than $50
How about one with an oil drain hole in it will pay extra
There's 3 drain plugs and a filter... not worth it. But you can drill holes if you want....
