I picked up my first contemporary Gold Wing Monday night, in the rain! Its an '03 1800, red, with some chrome options, a CB, and a trailer hitch. What a bike! I fell in love with it in the rain and the 12mile ride home. Smooth, low-end-diesel-like torque, well balanced, creatue comforts as I've never had before, and reverse. I now have almost 100 miles on it and a large portion of the learning curve is over, but there is more to come. I was fighting with finding things in the dark, like the dimmer switch. That stuff will come in time.
My main thought right now is to find the best headset I can get to plug into the intercom/radio system. Are there good, better, best hesadsets for stereo sound? Links?
The next move is to get driving lights for just in front of the engine. I'm sure there is a proper name for those. Are there varying grades of those, as well? I don't want cheap crap! I assume they are plug-and-play with regard to the Honda wiring harness?
Darn shame it was 37 degrees this AM! One issue: The way the factory seat is, it pulls up my pants legs more than my old bike, creating a "cold zone"! Brrr!
