That is a fine look for your goals of comfort and style. Reasonable. Im dark gray and black, so chrome isnt gonna suit my vibe. Like the pegs suite. Hate the 500 plus pricing. Salute to the Wing!!!
Love Goldstrike, took a ride up to their facility from Texas to Hudson, Wisconsin last August. They gave me a tour through their facility, yes, I wore my mask, it was covid time. I was able to view some new prototype products for the goldwing awesome folks, a very high quality product with special attention paid to detail. I didn't expect a tour, my brother in law and I showed up there at their door and they offered us a tour. I went there because I had an issue with my new highway pegs right out of the box. Knowing I was headed to Minnesota in a couple weeks, I just decided that I would pay them a visit. They were very receptive, took care of my issue and replaced one of my pegs right there in the parking lot. After our tour, they gave me a new catalog with their products for the new wing. I'm telling you, their customers are important to them, a very good product, and they are very innovative. They will not forget to stand behind their products. My issue was a flaw, that if caught,would have never made it to packaging. They are just first class folks.
I agree whole heartedly. I didn't mention this in the video but I had an issue with my tour blade that I originally bought. I saw them at Wing Ding and told them about it. They mailed me a new one no questions asked. I asked them if they needed me to send them pictures of my defective part so they could document it. There guy at the rally told me that it was no need that he believed me and they would take care of it immediately. Absolutely great customer service!!
@@billmeyer7903 Just wanted to hear that.I haven't ridden on a Goldwing, dealers here in Florida don't have any to test drive.How is it without shifting? I personally will love that, I have shifted enough HD’s in my life. The ride has to be unbelievable!
Nice additions and beautiful bike. Who made your seat? Just got a 2021 and rode it 4hrs with the stock seat. Not comfortable at all & I definitely need to get a custom seat.
I have the Russell Day Long seat and backrest. It is amazing. All day comfort. You send them your stock seat and they modify it. This is the second seat I have had done by them. No regrets. Thanks for watching
OMG is that a 1968 station wagon in the parking lot? Oh yeah, bike looks great, like the lights(a must for better visibility and safety) Not big on the fender accents but they do look good. Thanks for the info vid.
Hello! I'm in the UK, and I am having problems getting the little bits to add to my 2023 Goldwing DCT. Epically a “1 inch ball ram ball mount” for the left side handlebar DCT! I can see you have something in place, and are hoping that you have found the ideal fixing. If you have, can you please give me the details so I can try to order one for myself. Greatly appreciate your help. Adrian, In the UK.
Gold strike must love you ! Kidding aside , I have the Goldstrike hwy pegs ,and the tie downs. Love them . I was liking your jacket, Honda doesn't have much in clothing, do you remember were you picked up your jacket? I have a whole dresser filled with old HD shirts ,but not much Honda stuff . I feel confused when I have a BMW hat , Harley tee shirt , and I'm riding a Goldwing. Ride safe .
Thanks for watching Michael. If I remember correctly I think I bought the jacket on a closeout from Revzilla. I sort of am a hoarder of motorcycle jackets and I buy them when they are on sale or closeout. Ride safe!
I never seen a white motorcycle look so great I recently purchased a 2021 dct tour the burgundy color and I love this bike beyond what words can describe.
It is a Russel Day Long seat. Just Google Russel Day Long and you can see there website. They modify your stock seat. Very comfortable. Will be doing a video about the seat within the next week. Thanks for watching and ride safe!
None of those parts were purchased at the regular price they were all on sale at least that's what you told your wife. I thought Harley Guys were bad at adding stuff to their bikes.LOL Nice video I feel informed. Ride safe
Love your bike. Looks great. I have an 02 and thinking on upgrading. I see your windshield is bigger. Thats one problem I have with the new body styles. Seem narrow in the front and has a small windshield. Did you have or have you rode the last body style? 2017-2001
Thank you. I did not have nor rode the last body style. When I was looking at getting a new Goldwing it was between a new 2018 or new 2017 (leftover). After talking to some people that had driven both they convinced me to go with the 2018 DCT. The windshield is a F4 customs. It is a little wider than the stock and offers better wind protection. Thanks for watching and ride safe!
Hi just watched this vid just got a 2021 bagger ,cheap mod iv,e done is stick two clear 50mm reflectors on the blanks where the fog lights go just put a little black silicon around the edges as blank is not quite flat. look ok and also reflect.
She sure does look good. Is 3m tape the best invention ever? I like those armrests and your choice of added lights. Nice job on the bike a and the video.
I have a Goldwing branded jacket made by Sedici. It is a mesh jacket. It moves air ok. However, I have other mesh jackets that allow more air to pass through on a hot day. So I wear this jacket when it is a little cool but not hot. Thanks for watching and ride safe!
Nice new gen! Seat looks nice, is it an ultimate? I test drove a 2018 last year, it felt a little cramped but Im 6’1 245. Ive spent so much to get my f6b comfortable for me. Best upgrade was the mega monty from Traxxion. So much safer now. Honda should be ashamed for their stock suspension, they probably spend 200 bucks on the whole thing. With the new suspension, seat, and bar risers I can go thru a tank of gas without a stop. What do you think of the new gen suspension? Did you have the previous generation wing? Thanks
It is the Russell Day Long seat. The seat is outstanding. I haven't had any issues with the new suspension. Although I didn't own the previous generation, I have spoken to people that have owned both and they said the 2018+ is much improved over the previous years. Thanks for watching!! Ride safe
Thanks Jim. The cost of all the accessories are listed on the goldstrike website. I am hesitant to add it all together as I might start having heart palpitations. Lol 😂. Thanks for watching
Craig real nice job. Keep it up. I think you could put it in local bike shows. Just a suggestion traxion dynamics has a cool dip stick cover . ciro has nice chrome grips with throttle boss Also if you like and can find custom pinstriper. Black and gray would look bad was Last thing when you do air filter/coolant a great time to add puddles lights . The electric connections are good its such a cool effect I added to the my wing . what I forgot to do at same time was power outlet a good acct Have a great day
Very nice ride!!! White does not always Translate very well on most motorcycles but I have to say that is one of the most beautiful Goldwing I've seen of any generation. And you could just the right amount of touches without going too far. I have never heard of this company but we'll definitely have to check them out I live in southeast Iowa and I'm looking into purchasing a 2007 Goldwing in the kind of burnt orange color
Thank you for watching!! I normally am not a big fan of white either but this white has the metallic flake in it so it really pops in the sun. Good luck on getting your Goldwing. I like the burnt orange color. Also, the 2007 is the bigger body style and is definitely a comfortable ride if you plan on doing some long distance. Ride safe!
Thanks yea just have too get the misses to agree but I found a 2007 with I think 54,000 maybe it was 74,000 miles for $6,990. Traditionally I would not consider q bike with that mileage but this is my first touring machine. I've owned sport bikes, sport tourer and dirt bike. From my research I feel like this is a good price for a bike for such a reliable reputation. With that said do you have a lot of experience with the gold wings? What are your thoughts?? Any advise or thoughts are appreciated. You mentioned the 2nd gen war a larger frame machine. I did not know that. This will be my to a large degree dedicated POV lol I'm in the army " personal operating vehicle " speaking of which my military unit is a 2 hour drive one way so cargo space, comfort and reliability are huge considerations. Depending on your experience if you dont mind I'd love to converse with you periodically on questions, advice and opinions. Be safe out there a d wish you well with your channel I'm hitting the subscribe button right now. LoL
Thanks I was looking at those but I have the lidlox helmet locks on the end of my bars. Not sure if they work with those. Great job on your wing. I love the black satin. It really pops!
All of the lighting products and the highway pegs were installed by the Goldstrike crew at the Americade rally. I installed all of the other products myself
Thank you very much for watching. I do have a video coming out about the seat next week. It is a Russell Day Long seat. Very comfortable. Yes the satellite antenna works great there. That was an easy install. I took the advice of some other Goldwing owners and mounted the antenna there. Ride safe

Ive ridden enough crappy bikes that i think i deserve a goldwing now
If you get one I promise you won’t be disappointed!
When I get my Goldwing I will get everything you have. That bike is sharp. Great job and choices. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯💯💯
As a Harley guy my whole life, I want to be able to travel in luxury, and Honda is the way to go!
Absolutely, just traded in my 2017 Roadglide for a 2021 Goldwing DCT. Gotta say, I'm in love wit da Wing!

It's not a Harley. Goldwing is complete. There is no need for the 4" thick j c Whitney catalog . If you like buying stuff for your bike buy a Harley
So true. Little to no modifications need to be made
Nice additions and beautiful bike. Who made your seat? Just got a 2021 and rode it 4hrs with the stock seat. Not comfortable at all & I definitely need to get a custom seat.
Thanks for watching. The seat is a Russell day long
Excellent review and very tastefully done accessories. Did you install the lighting yourself?
Some of it yes. The products are plug and play. Very easy to install. Thanks for watching!
What seat and back rest do you have and how is the comfort? Two hour or all day comfort?
I have the Russell Day Long seat and backrest. It is amazing. All day comfort. You send them your stock seat and they modify it. This is the second seat I have had done by them. No regrets. Thanks for watching
@@craighanesworth I recognized the R.D.L. seat at once. Top Notch!
Where you get that goldwing jacket I'm looking for one 3x
I got it from Revzilla years ago. I don't know if they still make it
No hand grips? I’m surprised.....Thanks
Lol. I put lid locks on my handlebars so they don't work with the hand grips
OMG is that a 1968 station wagon in the parking lot? Oh yeah, bike looks great, like the lights(a must for better visibility and safety) Not big on the fender accents but they do look good. Thanks for the info vid.

White is nice

Nice bike Craig. Is that a Russel Day Long Saddle? How do you like it?
Thank you. Yes it is. I love it. Do not hesitate if you are thinking about getting one. No discomfort at all when I am on a long ride. Ride safe!
@@craighanesworth I have a production date of July 6th. Hate to give it up in the middle of summer but need that comfort. Be safe.
@@terry4343 congrats!!
Thanks for the vid. I am looking at everything to see what would work on my 2021. Nice to see the parts already installed. Ride safe..
Thanks for watching

Goldstrike makes great products. OEM quality from them. Bought their products for my new DCT Wing.

Russell Day Long
Man your bike looks so, so good, very nicely done!
Thank you Sir! Ride safe
Excellent review Craig - now I want this bike even more, thanks for the walk around .......JB..
Dude, you forgot to replace the license place frame. It still has the dealer plate frame.
Love your bike. Looks great. I have an 02 and thinking on upgrading. I see your windshield is bigger. Thats one problem I have with the new body styles. Seem narrow in the front and has a small windshield. Did you have or have you rode the last body style? 2017-2001

@@craighanesworth ok. Yeah I could see it was bigger. Great choice and great video. You be safe as well sir.
Craig. Gold Strike now offers an off-set perch mount to move the item out of the way of your nicely illuminated handlebar controls. Hope all is well.
I saw that. I am definitely going to purchase that. All is well. I hope it is the same for you. Ride safe!
@@craighanesworth
Indeed! Thank you. Best to you.
Hi just watched this vid
just got a 2021 bagger ,cheap mod iv,e done is stick
two clear 50mm reflectors on the blanks where the fog lights go
just put a little black silicon around the edges as blank is not quite flat.
look ok and also reflect.
Nice! I want to get the fog lights but still haven't pulled the trigger so mine are blank. Congratulations on the.bagger. Ride safe!
I like the front fender tip but im not crazy about the side fender flair vent covers
What kind of seat is that? It looks comfortable.
She sure does look good. Is 3m tape the best invention ever? I like those armrests and your choice of added lights. Nice job on the bike a and the video.
Thanks Rich
Craig, can you tell me about the jacket you are wearing? And any other accessories? I'm loving my 2021! Now I need to dive in with the clothing etc.
I have a Goldwing branded jacket made by Sedici. It is a mesh jacket. It moves air ok. However, I have other mesh jackets that allow more air to pass through on a hot day. So I wear this jacket when it is a little cool but not hot. Thanks for watching and ride safe!

Not into chrome but yours looks good with the white bike.
Hey Craig. Nice job. It would be great if you added in the cost of everything. That way people could understand your vision a little better. Thanks.
Thanks Jim. The cost of all the accessories are listed on the goldstrike website. I am hesitant to add it all together as I might start having heart palpitations. Lol 😂. Thanks for watching

Looking good, does the trailer need a little bling (farkels) also?
Naw. I’m going to keep the trailer pretty much stock. Might swap out the lights for LEDs but not sure how difficult that is
You just need the Goldstrike grips in chrome and the cylinder head covers in chrome. Looks good.
Thanks I was looking at those but I have the lidlox helmet locks on the end of my bars. Not sure if they work with those. Great job on your wing. I love the black satin. It really pops!
Looking Good! Did you do the installs, a dealership, or a third party?
All of the lighting products and the highway pegs were installed by the Goldstrike crew at the Americade rally. I installed all of the other products myself
Man I thought I got bit by the Goldstrike bug 😂 you got it bad. 😂 very nice I’m a big fan of Goldstrike products.
Very nice! I’m very interested in that seat, is there a video for that? Comfortable? Also does that satellite antenna work there?

Thanks, I never thought of that location for the antenna. Looking forward to that seat video. Beautiful bike by the way
this is insane bro
I may have missed it, but where did you get your riders backrest from? Great Video!
Bruce the backrest was from Russell Day Long. I have a separate video going over my Russell Day Long seat modification. Ride safe

Good looking bike. Everything is tastefully done.
Thanks you!!
