Elevating the Touring Experience: Honda GOLDWING Custom
Webike's Opinion
Here is a "Honda GOLDWING" custom by Webike community user "TNK". This is the owner's dream motorcycle that he has always wanted to ride someday. Its matte black body color and metallic red head cover give it a stylish appearance. Honda's unique horizontally opposed 6-cylinder boxer engine is quiet and has minimal vibrations, providing fantastic riding comfort. However, the owner wasn't satisfied with that. He took meticulous customization steps to transform the GOLDWING, a motorcycle that pioneered the category of touring motorcycles, into an even more comfortable touring machine. For improved wind protection, the Ermax Sport Touring Windshield was installed. This is a customization that can be completed in about 10 minutes without needing anyone's assistance. After replacing the windshield with a smoked one, the owner was bothered by the fact that the sides remained clear. This is one of the reasons why he never gets tired of customizing his beloved bike. When it comes to applying films, it is a struggle to get rid of the air bubbles, but he successfully applied a dark smoke film by wetting it with a sprayer. When you are touring with your precious machine, you become concerned about dirt and mud that gets into intricate places. To prevent dirt on the rear cowl section behind the tires, a front mudguard and a rear fender extension were installed. A side panel vent is attached to the side panel opening to add an accent to the appearance. It can be installed with the included double-sided tape. Customizing a bike may seem difficult, but this is one of the examples that many customizations can be done easily by oneself. Since experiencing a dangerous situation at a highway merge point, he had been concerned about blind spots in his rearview mirrors. One day, he noticed a small extra mirror attached to a motorcycle stopped next to him, and then he decided to install blind spot mirrors. They are contributing significantly to safety even though it's just a simple customization using double-sided tape. The GOLDWING already has ample cargo space, but the owner has installed a seat tie-down bracket set to add luggage hooks to the pillion seat. Installation requires drilling holes in the pillion bar, but the owner is always willing to take on the customization challenge himself with meticulous attention to detail and a passion for making every ride as comfortable and stylish as possible.
