[bustedwing]

Sheeesh, I thought I was doing good replacing the spark plugs, and changing the oil and filter! I see all of the other work you people have done and I Feel like I'm missing something! But this ol girl still keeps clicking along!!1990 GW Lehman Trike

 

[Warlock]

1992 Goldwing with a mototrike kit. The best mod was new rear rims and going from the 235/60/15 to 205/65/15. Trike now handles great. Also getting rid of the smog control and adding 4 degree trigger wheel.

With my 2019......Its bone stock....How long will i keep it that way :Shrug:...But after having 2 Tri-Glides before this one...I don't think this one needs any improvements like the other ones needed..

2012 Can Am Spyder RTL. Lots of mods over the years but at 68,000+its still going strong. My best mod is the hydration system. I bought a Motojug.com system with an Arctic Trails 1 gallon stainless steel jug and it works great. I love being able to take as much water as I want to start to feel cool inside. It has worked well to keep me hydrated.

GL1800 Homegrown Mods

Hi all. Picked up a 2001 GL1800 a few months ago. I'm a cheap guy and have made some inexpensive mods (mostly from the wife's honeyDo list for when she's a passenger). Pictures follow...

• Added Bluetooth with a triple USB outlet. Brings my phone into the bike speakers for music and Maps direction.
  
• Have the crossunder bar for the back rest. It helped locate a place to put a water bottle. I don't use the back rest when she's with me so I just added a piece of 5/8 tube to clamp to.
  
• Added push in ball lock pins to the arm rest struts to lock in place. Keeps them from flying around.
  
• Replaced footped extensions with 1 1/2" longer and added a roll pin stop to keep them angled out more. Saves my knees from bending around the air cowling.
  
• Made a mount to hold the sport cam in an accessible spot and ran the cable to the outlet to keep charging the battery. Always on and recording when I startup.
  
• Bought cheap aftermarket front foot rests and put them in the back for my wifes big feet. Also added alum. wedged blocks between the mounts to angle them outward more. Saves her knees from bending inward onto the older, smaller footrests.
  
• Had to add some lighting. Mainly because I like lights.
  

Mods were not expensive but useful. Happy wife..Happy life

top 3

2021 TriGlide

so far with more to come so this list may change

1. change out stock shocks all around to Legends with Legends lift kit (consider this as one as I did it at one time)

2. swapped stock seat for Hammock seat

3. swapped stock bars to KST mayhems

Now the Big Green Machine rides and steers like it should and is so much more comfortable!!!! I guess I'm getting too old to not be comfortable but I'm happy.:clapping: MANY MORE MODS TO COME!

 

[Jack Klarich]

I put a Road king seat on my Freewheeler, the stock seat is not comfy at all

I have had this same seat on a 15, 17 and now my 21 FLRT

2008 GL1800/California Sidecar

1. Custom seat with backrest from Tom Simmons

2. Handlebar riser/relocators

3. Aftermarket wind screen from Cee Bailey windshields

These Mods were all transferred from my previous 2 wheel Goldwing. After years (and $) of trial and error to find comfort on long rides, these items work for me. It gives me the comfort and familiar feel I was used to when switching from 2 to 3 wheels..... Jim

DK Lift Kit...........Best Ride Ever........ThumbUp

 

[hardwickbv]

1. Nextgen 14" shocks with lift kit, I am still amazed at the difference and my wife agrees. I only wish I had done it sooner.

2. 2+2 Wide bars, like adding power steering

3. Thunder Torques, low end torque, better sound and better gas mileage for low dollars.

These are just a few of the mods to my 17 TG but they are the ones that stand out for overall enjoyment.
