Great explanation of the Goldwing suspension. I watched it again after watching your “Suspension for Mortals” series and it made even more sense to me. I’ll never understand how Honda put a Yugo suspension on a Rolls Royce bike and got away with it for so many years. BTW, my wife and I are bringing the Goldwing in for the Mega Monty on August 9th. Maybe we’ll run into you at the shop. Ride safe! Stewart
Are there any signs of your suspension being installed on a bike? If I was going to buy a used bike any thing I can look at that will let me know it has your suspension?
The lower clevis on the rear shock is black. You can see this from under the bike where it bolts to the linkage. Typically, under the front caliper covers, we'll have a stick on the the bottom of the fork that shows our AK-20 kit has been installed.
Traxxion is the shiznit! I'll be putting this setup on my Goldwing!
outstanding set of three videos, great info, thanks
There's 20 total!!!! I have 10 more to load. They are "vintage" at this point, but the knowledge is timeless.

Right on! Glad to help. There's 10 more pieces to Suspension for Mortals, I just need to load them.
Hey Max, Kuryakyn now offers a gen 2 fork brace for the Wing. Any thoughts?
The Kuryakyn brace works fine.

Thanks for reply!
Just when I was about to buy a Goldwing...Add $4K to whatever you pay for the bike just to make the suspension work correctly. Nope.
There is no option for a touring bike. So if you choose just not to go touring, then you saved money!
