Roadsmith "Comfort Controls" GL-1800

[Trike Talk News]

The most common complaint for any Gold Wing rider has always been the cramped seating and peg position on the iconic touring machine. While arguably the most comfortable long-distance touring motorcycle on the market, the Gold Wing has always come up short on leg room, especially for those riders with a longer in-seam.

Enter our new Roadsmith Comfort ControlsTM for Gold Wing motorcycles built from 2001 to 2012. Although nearly unnoticeable when installed, the new controls actually move both foot pegs and the brake and shift levers forward 3 inches and down 1 inch using a collection of machined parts and linkages that bolt on to the bike. The result is one that must be felt to believe, and provides an incredibly improved riding position that will now allow Gold Wing riders to realize the long-distance cruising potential of their machines without the aches and pains of cramped legs and knees.

Comfort ControlsTM are available for both Gold Wing motorcycles, as well as trikes, and have little effect on the cornering clearance of the motorcycle. In addition to more comfortable seating, the newly positioned controls also move the foot pegs forward enough to allow much quicker and easier access to the ground for your feet when coming to a stop. This accessory works well with floorboards and heel/toe shifters such as Kuryakyn part #4038.

Comfort ControlsTM will be available for purchase on July 4th and will be introduced at this year's Wing Ding rally in Fort Wayne, IN. The price is $699 for the set and typical shop installation rates should run around $100.

I was just looking at these on the RoadSmith web site this morning. The foot position has always been my main and only complaint regarding the GW. I'd love to see and sit on a Wing that has these installed. That just might make the difference in choosing a GW when the time comes to hopefully get a trike again. We'll see,,,,.
