Can you tell me what is unique about this Goldwing?

Windshield wiper

Windshield wiper

Yes, that is correct. it is a Japanese spec Goldwing and believe it or not they have windshield wipers, it has something to do with their laws.

Hmmmm, I wonder what material the wind-shield is made of.

Hmmmm, I wonder what material the wind-shield is made of.

Its probably an F4 windshield. They are heavy-duty and hard to scratch....

Here's something else that is unique about this Wing, so far we know it has a windshield wiper, but can you guess what is in the red circle.

I never asked a friend who brought a Japanese spec GL1800 into the states what it was made out of. He also had a European spec GL1500 with the worthless trunk that would hold a laptop or pizza. He had a very large collection of motorcycles and many Goldwings that were unique and one of the preproduction GL1000s.

Well, that has to be either windshield washer or oncoming head lights sensor for an auto dimming feature.. :xszpv::xszpv:

My guess would be the washer.

You are both correct it is a windshield washer. They have some nice touches on the Japanese spec Goldwings, I know in Florida the windshield wiper would come in handy.

Here's a video of the system installation:
