The first Goldwing GL1000 was a barebones motorcycle
when it arrived on the scene in 1975. Owners soon discovered its advantages as
a touring motorcycle and started adding accessories and parts for long distance
tours. By 1980 Honda was rolling out Goldwings with full fairing and it has
never looked back since despite the presence of Indians, Harleys and BMWs.
Nothing beats the luxury ride quality of the Goldwing. Others are bikes; the
Goldwing is a RollsRoyce on 2 wheels.
As it stands the GL1800 does not need much by way of
accessories should a rider wish to zoom off into the sunset. However, there is
always something extra that can be done and when one looks at the range of Honda Goldwing
parts by Shiny Wing, the temptation is always there to enhance the
bike, add functionality to it and also keep spares that might come in handy
when needed.
There is no end to accessorizing the bike when one
starts but riders can choose from the functionality aspect and from the looks
aspect or mix both. A mini halogen driving light kit for the 1800 is functional
and when allied with accessory switches for master cylinder it gives freedom to
operate a number of lights and equipments with just the thumb, without taking
eyes of the road while driving. From the looks perspective one can add LED
vertical air intake accent in chrome with red LED lights. Talking of accents
Goldwing riders can also pick dash door accents and armrest trim with LED turn
signal accents to add a touch of class and also functionality at the same time.
Spot lamps on cruise pegs do help light up dark roads when driving at night but
is it easy to fit them is a question riders ask. It is easy when one gets the 3
piece clamps along with the spotlights with wiring harness. In this case it
becomes simple plug and play with no need to trouble a mechanic to fit the
lamp.
The range of Honda
Goldwing parts by Shiny Wing is quite extensive, even including
accessories like the deluxe trunk luggage rack to help riders carry more in a
compact package. Another useful accessory that every Goldwing owner must have
is a 5 in
one digital voltmeter that shows voltage, temperature and also has a stop watch
and a lap counter.
Keeping the Honda in fine trim and looking like new
is easy with a can of dirt off shampoo and a dirt and grime remover. If keeping
the bike looking like new is a priority then protecting expensive engine should
be equally important. This is easy to do with engine lower side covers, engine
side crab covers and engine protection plates.
Small things can make a big difference when one is
on the road and needs parts such as fork seal kit and fork seals as well as
front brake caliper seal kits. Keeping these as well as front brake pads as
spares will help riders carry out emergency repairs when they are traveling and
a service station is nowhere in sight. Shiny Wing anticipates requirements and
keeps in stock the entire range of accessories and parts for the Goldwing,
making it a reliable, one source supply of quality components.
