I have been struggling with going from the Venture to a trike for several months, so I bit the dust and went to check out a nice Goldwing. It was a beautiful trike and well maintained so I was really interested in it. However, I had NEVER even sat on a Wing before, so I was not prepared for the experience. I was totally shocked at the cramped feeling I got when I got settled in on it before even starting it. I told the owner it felt tight and he said he was used to it. We rode it for about 30 minutes, and the cramped feeling kept getting worse. It was a wonderful ride on a bike that handled well, But I felt so uncomfortable and cramped I had to get off ASAP. I know Honda makes a quality bike and liked the power it had, but I am going back to the drawing board to find trike with fuel injection that has more room for my long legs. And having owned a Harley Road King, I am not interested in another one. I did see a Suzuki Boulevard C90 on Facebook that looks nice, so I am going to check it out this week.

Finally figured how to get clamp opened to get wires out! Was a real pain disconnecting tha small 2 wire plug that had to come out with Stator!

If Woody would go ahead and make my reservations we would be golden.

That's the same problem I've always had with the wing. Been on several different seats that give a little more leg room but not enough for me. Great bikes, I wish I could get comfy on one.

Got Stator cover 1 off and this is picture of Stator! Now to clean off gasket and then replace Stator!

Pictures of antifreeze being soaked up on bike table and one of dirty wires! Still trying to get them loose from clamp then I can pull them out to remove Stator! Had to pickup son's rototiller as he needs it for weekend if weather is good!

Yes it is getting exciting! Should have realized that the pressure behind the plug would want to go somewhere! Should have put the covers on until I had to put exhaust back on! Picked up tube of RTV and blue Lock Tite for the rubber plugs in Stator!(going to try and vacuum seal them after use as am hoping them to last without hardening as I don't use them enough)

Been busy all day today and finnaly went out to do some more work on bike and now I have to add putting Antifreeze in when I'm done with Stator! Took off engine fins off to remove exhaust and didn't put it back on and freeze plug fell out sometime and drained Antifreeze! Wiped up the mess,dried off tools and wiped down drain hoses that went thru frame so I have a little more room to try tomorrow to get wires out so I can get Stator out!

I just sold my 07. It took several weeks as big bikes just aren’t selling well. Had to turn down several lowball “offers” and wait for the right person that really wanted it. Friend has a 2010 HD Ultra that’s been on the market for a year. Hope yours sells quickly.

I had to replace the thermostat and one of the sensors on my 2007 many years ago, I did not remove the radiator, pulled the tank and did all the work from the top. I do not recall it being overly difficult.
