I have ordered a new 5 to 4 converter for the original 5 wire harness already on the bike to see if that fixes the problems with the trailer lights not working correctly. Should be here Tuesday. Really don't want to get into removing the trunk as I understand that is a bit involved. I do appreciate all the input I've received from both forums. Would be nice to have a Wing mechanic here local. The local motorcycle shops don't seem to want to work on the older Goldwings so I rely on these forums for how to's and advice.

Trying to get to the wiring harness that would be behind the license plate. Have a Motor Trike kit on the bike and see no other way to get to the harness to install the adaptor harness for the trailer wires. Seems like these trike kits would have some strategically placed access panels. Been working on the trailer lights all weekend with not much positive to show for it. Have a 6 pin round connector already mounted on the bike but doesn't want to give me all the functions with a 6 pin to flat 4 adaptor. thought maybe we might have some trike riders out there that ran into the same issue. I will admit up front wiring is not one of my better know how to's.

That is nice. Thanks for the pics.

Yes, I would be very interested to see how that looks and how they are built. Thank you

Need a pull behind trailer for the Goldwing. Not looking for to small of one. Would prefer white but will consider all. Live in SC. Don't want to get to far away. Would make a day trip to pick up if it's what I'm looking for.
-
That's what it is. I played with the switch a bit and they came on. I'll get some contact cleaner and see if we can free that switch up some. Saved a trip to the shop. Awesome job guys. Thank you for the help.

Anybody have an idea what might be causing the headlights not to come on?. It's happened before. Sometimes I could flip the bright / dim switch on and off to make them come on or restart the bike would sometimes work. Couldn't get them to come on at all yesterday or today. Depressing when you can't take a ride. Any help greatly appreciated.

So how much trouble would it be to change my unheated seat to another seat that is heated?
-
Stock seat not working for me. To hard. Using air cushion to get by. Will get this customized if I can't find a comfortable seat.

I'm looking at a 1 pc rider/ passenger pillow top seat with backrest from Mustang seats. Does anyone have this seat? Share your opinion of it? $630 is a big chunk of change. Sure looks comfy.

Anybody help with what I need to use the intercom connection between rider and passenger? Where I can get it?

Yes, the bulb I received had 3 prongs - fit the headlight socket exactly as the OEM bulb.
I see what they did. I have 2 H7 single beam bulbs in a box marked H4. I reordered them. Should be here tomorrow. Riding up to Hendersonville in the morning, should be here when we get back. If it happens again I hope they have a contact number so I can tell them to check their stock.
Thanks

I switched to a plug-and-play LED bulb for the headlight:
BEAMTECH H4 LED Headlight Bulb - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XHD78DQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The BeamTech H4 actually comes as a pair of LED bulbs for $38.99 - hard to see that on the web page. Both high and low beam focus on the same areas as the stock bulb but many levels of greater brighness.
And I replaced my PAR36 driving lights with LED, also plug-and-play:
Pair 4.5 Inch Fog Light Passing Lamps - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BF5KFMK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The passing lamps fit the OEM driving light housings perfectly - you only need to splice the hookup wires as the wires are molded to the LED bulbs, not screwed on like the OEM bulbs.
The end results are amazingly bright. Well worth the minor expense.
Did your BEAMTECH come with the 3-prong plug like it shows in the picture? Maybe they sent me the wrong part.
-
Let me show my ignorance.......PO?
Just got the BEAMTECH H4 LED bulb recommended today. Has a different plug (2 small prongs) instead of the 3-prong plug shown in their picture which is what I need. Bummer, was looking forward to try that one out. Sending it back.
-
Mine does it during the day. Solid when it gets darker. Sensor in it maybe, safety feature for daytime visibility?
-
Done. Don't like the bulb in it now. By the way, is the headlight pulsing a normal thing? Any bad effect on the LED bulbs?
-
Amazon has several LED replacement headlamps noted for Harley Davidson. Anyone use one of these? Can I assume since they are all noted as Harley that it would not be a direct fit to our bucket?
Amazon has a feature on it where you can filter the results according to your make/model/yr of bike to see if that part is compatible

I ended up just putting an LED bulb in the original headlight, I did replace the passing lights with new LED's. Can't remember the name of the bulb but it listed a bunch of different Harley's it would fit as well as the RSV. The new LED headlight(has it's own bracket that the light mounts to) was going to need some modifications to fit even though the website said it would fit my RSV. I was looking for a replacement that require no modification. The bulb I put in is much brighter but I can't tell any difference from low beam to high beam. Don't know whats up with that.

Pinwall has these. Edit. they call them Roadhouse mufflers so they may not be stock although they look like stock mufflers
these are stock
And these
Wife wants quiet, she gets quiet. Got a set. Thanks for the lead.

Post a pic and some of us may be able to identify it for you.
Gut at the shop said he thought they were Barons.

I did a google search and found lots of videos of RSVs with loud pipes but none with the stock pipes. I think my RSV with stock pipes is loud enough for me.
Agreed. Don't know what these are but just too loud. Don't mind a little rumble.
-
Looking for a set of stock oem mufflers for my 2008 RSV.
-
There are a good number of riders that want to try the loud rumble on their bikes. Then after a few years or so, they go back to stock mufflers. I prefer the latter.
Well, I guess I'll call the shop this morning and see what they have. What's on here is too loud and probably part of the reason for the popping and backfire when I let off the throttle. Maybe changing back to stock might help with that as well. Just finished getting the armrests, grill guard and LED lights put on, so this should finish it out (for now).
-
Yep. I have stock pipes on my ‘07 ever since she had 1 mile on the odometer. To put in perspective, you’ll be able to enjoy your music as you ride.

No Way.Can't listen to music on this ride. Ok, I guess my next modification will be to unmodify it. Have to see about getting it back to stock.
