Is there any reliable way to estimate how much longer your battery will last? I ride my bike year round and just went for a good ride yesterday. I have no idea how old the battery is as I bought this 06 Wing last year. I just checked and the voltage at the battery is 12.5 with nothing...

I apologize first for the length of this post, but wanted to make sure that all the info was there.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /> I have an 06 GL1800, non-ABS, with a new Hannigan kit, 6 degree rake with a 2” riser. We bought the trike right after it had been kitted at 19,400...

Need some help here with this @$#%$# left fork on my 06 Wing. The seal was leaking so I took it in and had both seals (left & right) replaced. Didn’t take too long to notice that the left one was still leaking, though not as bad. Went back in and we re-pulled the left fork. The tube is fine...

I've got a 2006 Goldwing trike with about 24,000 miles. I have a high-pitched whine coming from the area of the gauges that I am pretty certain is coming from the tachometer. I start to notice it when the rpm gets to about 1200 and it goes above my range of hearing at about 3,000. It...

I'd like to install a brake light modulator on my 06 Goldwing trike and wanted to get some input on brands. On my trike I have the standard Goldwing brake lights (2 on the trunk and 2 more on the upper deck). I also have the Hannigan whale fin on the trike with more brake lights in it (LEDs I...

Mine is a 06 Goldwing with a Hannigan kit. Jacking up the rear is a piece of cake, using a floor jack under the pumpkin and sliding 2 jack stands under the rear frame, behind the wheels as they go up. When I get done (5 minutes time, max) the rear is rock solid with the rear wheels 6 inches...

We just got our 06 trike and LOVE IT!!! However, I'm sure that the Nuvi data is the original version. (ours is v4.1) How do I go about obtaining updates maps and software versions?

I have a Hannigan kit and they don't offer the factory bras, like Motor Trike. Any aftermarket ones out there or do you just go to a local upholstery shop to have some made? If so, any suggestions on the inner lining to prevent it rubbing through the paint?

:D All smiles cause we'll be picking up our first trike this week. It's a 06 Goldwing Navi with the Hannigan kit and a real beaut. I'd like to find a site where I can download the Goldwing Owners Manual and also the Navigation Manual. Any ideas out there?

I need to get a couple of helmets and wanted to know if anyone has any experience with the GMAX GM175 Open Face helmets. Also has anyone done any business with Helmetworld.com to find out if they honor their return/exchange policies. They have the GMAX helmets for $70 at GMAX GM17S SPC...
