I have a 2009 GL1800, as well, candy red, everything but the air bag.

I love it. I have 20k on it now after less than 14 months of having it. Just got back from Death Valley with my group!

Get yourself a full motorcycle cover -- even if you garage or carport it. Plus a bunch of microfiber towels and motorcycle windshield polish -- not glass cleaner.

Oh and get yourself headlight covers and a belly pan!

I use Pledge on the painted surfaces.

what is the purpose of the belly pan? and i always used the honda spray polish with micro-fiber towels after every ride works well on the wind shield also, I will look into the headlight covers and full bike cover thanks for the advise

what is the purpose of the belly pan?

In case you run over a metal object. It doesn't take much to pierce the underside of your engine.

Do a search on belly pan on this board, and you'll probably read some horror stories written by those who didn't have one when they needed one.

I will look into the headlight covers and full bike cover thanks for the advise

You're welcome.

My mechanic says the headlights are $700 per unit. If you crack one, you have to buy the whole thing.

The bike cover will keep dust off your beautiful machine.
