I denote a little bit of dis concern in your tone. I feel the same way.... once they move to an 1800, they think all the other Wing Riders are saving their pennies to buy an 1800."If you have a GoldWing and can change a tire on a car or truck, it should be easy."
What a load of ****. He should have stated an 1800 GoldWing!
You can lay an 1800 wing on it's side without any damage, the crash bars keep everything off the ground, a buddy hit sand in a corner on his 06 1800, lost it, went down and off the bike, they both slid and when we picked up the bike there was no harm done to it at all. Now if you lay your bike down to take off the wheel you put a mat or a rag under the crash bar, no harm done.... my bikes are my babies ... I hate scratches .. things that dont work.. persistent manufacturer faults.
They get the bulk of "my time" I just dont think I can/could intentionally push it over !!![]()
Envious and proud of you at the same time. You go man.I like how you think Larry I did just that with 2 85s and 1 86 1200A and picked up my 06 in 2011. loved my 1200s but dam the 1800 is sooooo nice.
Have you done the " remove the tail section " way ? I would imagine the tip over ( the only one I have done so far ) method is promoted for a reason.Did this method of changing rear tire. Lay down some old rugs where the crash bars will rest, nothing to it.
I know there were quite a few improvements over the 1500, but I think this is one of the major ones.Rear wheel change is one of the easier things to do on an 1800. Laying it over or on a bench it's still pretty straight forward.
