Before anyone criticizes this bike as “overkill”, be aware that is an ultimate build, a purpose-built mega-mile supercruiser designed to cover 1000 miles or more PER DAY while being on the road for months. It is not just some guy buying as many cheap random farkles as possible.

You outdid yourself, Max! You took a great touring bike and turned it into an amazing long-hauler, with a personal touch on every inch of the bike. You should be very, very proud of your work and your team. I hope to be able to bring you my Goldwing one day...
Amazing talent in the fabrication and out-of the-box thinking and design. True workmanship! The owner, Mr. Chuck, will be forever grateful for your great expertise! May God bless you Sir! Best wishes! 🙏
This type of setup is used by many competitive rally and long-distance riders. It's quite common to use multiple GPS units - one for master navigation of your rally plan, another one for side jaunts or last-minute additions, and a third as a backup. If you don't ride competitively that's fine, but just because it doesn't make sense *to you* that doesn't mean that it's nonsensical.
At 13:10 You have Metal Plates used for the tank bag cover. I would like to purchase those plates if at all possible. I have a 2021 Goldwing metallic black, and they would match my bike perfectly. Thanks!
Truly amazing and beautiful work Max. I knew the $$$ would be up there. My burning question is: Would you do this again? I understand you had a time constraint on this one which I'm sure caused much stress, but without that and at your own pace do you see ever doing this again?
Where did you install the photon cannons? where is the light speed throttle? Where is the auto pilot & invisible cloaking device? Where is the ejection passenger seat button for the nagging women you might need to loose!😎
We don't put all the secrets on the internet! We're not the liberal media telling the world about what our military is doing, where they are at, where they are going etc....
You are just amazing and you have no idea how much money you would be making in germany and europe. The War Horse ahs everything anyone could need. Would it be too much to ask what all that cost??
While I respect the outrageous amount of time and effort put into making this machine to meet the customers requests. This is the most ridiculous looking set up I’ve ever seen in my life, who would ever need any or all of this stuff? Insane! I’m going to guess and say he’s probably got $50-$60k into this machine.
If you missed the entire point of the bike, the owner is attempting multiple long distance riding records. All of the items on the bike have been put to great use already. He's already completed his first True-X crossing of the US, and starting on the 2nd. When you get on a motorcycle and hold the throttle open for 4 months 18 hours a day, you need to have everything you plan to live with on the bike.
@@Traxxion I did end up watching the entire walk around, and I realized the owner would be living on the machine and requires a lot of electronics to track his movements in order to get the proper recognition for his achievements. But I would do my riding with less but even at my young age would not physically be able to ride those distances. I stay off highways because of how boring they are but my trip seat times are only 10-14 hours a day so I’m happy to get gas when the 6.6 gallons is gone. I’m sure he will be successful.
talk about over the top! cant wait for my mega suspension appointment on the 9th and to meet max and the shop. the attention to detail on War Horse, down to the name is astounding. Good luck Chuck on the 10 trueX trip.
Don't have $75k laying around for an extensive build like this one, but I did get Traxxion Dynamics fork cartridges (and an Ohlins shock, plus springs matched to my weight) for my '20 Yamaha MT-09: it completely transformed the bike! The OEM suspension was sloppy and harsh, pogo-ing over undulations, too much brake dive, too much squat under acceleration, uncomfortable, didn't give me any confidence. With the current set-up it's firm, controlled, stable, compliant, comfortable, little brake dive and squat, and very confidence inspiring.
While my first reaction was ALSO "overkill" the good point is that I LOVE to ride long distance and the Aux fuel tank and other 'road' items are a great addition to a great bike.... Wonder what I can do for my 'old' 1500 along these lines. Good job..... see you on the road Chuck.
Spending time and effort on paintwork and logos on a bike that will be doing a thousand miles a day seems a bit pointless but having said that the attention to small details on the build is impressive. 👍
is that firearms sign allowing or not allowing guns on sight?. i decided to not take my bike to a bike shop because engine needed a rebuild, and talked about me carrying my gun every where i go, shop owner said guns not allowed. well nevermind, cancel my appointment ill do my service else where with a 2A friendly shop that agrees we carry for us and people around us.
@@Traxxion what is that 'desk' type thing with gas filler outlet pipe on the passenger seat? you didn't say. is it removable?, wats its purpuse?, so let me guess 50k 'ish the war horse, with all that, and of course a free ' one time only , free labor air filter change', right? lol
Hi Mista! Typically, it is best to start with a brand new bike for this type of project. At a minimum, you should start with a completely stock bike, or one with almost no miles. If your bike has already had lighting and various other things installed, it can be harder to work with. Also depending on condition and use, hardware can be stuck or damaged, plastic can be damaged, etc. Each bike is custom and the price depends completely on what you want to do with it. A bike like this one costs anywhere from $10-50,000 to upgrade. This owner spent $50,000.00 on the upgrades, and the total bike was around $80,000. The "new" model bike (2018+) is a great platform for upgrade, because all of the new electronics are plug and play. The previous bike was all "cut and splice". Here is a video of a bike we just completed, that was just over $10,000 to upgrade: ua-cam.com/video/iQRlr3Hsfhg/v-deo.html You can contact me by email to discuss a plan: max@traxxion.com
This bike clearly belongs to an IBA rider and is meant for serious endurance riding. Since you clearly don't have the proper mindset or experience to understand why this bike is built the way it is, perhaps you should refrain from further commenting.
This is a Utopia backrest. Chuck rides on the stock seat... but he truly has an iron butt! Most people HATE the stock seat. I have a video on selecting a saddle. Just search my channel.
@@Traxxion after watching your vids recently. I wish my Victory Vision was a Goldwing Touring. Also I now understand why my tires on the kawi Vulcan 1600 classic are cupping. Thanks!
Adam Sandoval named his Harley Davidson Touring motorcycle ''War Horse'' years ago. And that motorcycle is all over UA-cam since forever. Although I love Gold Wing , title only reminds me of Harley Davidson.
KNOCKED IT OUTTA THE PARK / What an unbelievable Build / I just started following you, Ive got to say your passion and pride in your work is unparalleled!!!!
DAMN NICE BIKE. 75K TO 80K MAY SEEM LIKE A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR A MOTORCYCLE. THE THOUGHT IS IF THIS IS WHAT THE OWNER WANTS TO SPEND FOR HIS PASSION THEN NOBODY HAS A RIGHT TO SAY ITS A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY. APPARENTLY THE OWNER IS A TRUE RIDING WARHORSE HIMSELF. THIS BIKE IS PROBABLY THE MOST ADVANCED GOLDWING EVER BUILT. I SAY KUDOS TO THE OWNER FOR GETTING EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTS AND SUPER KUDOS TO THOSE PEOPLE THAT WERE ABLE TO MAKE A DREAM COME TRUE. THE OWNER IS GOING TO GET THOUSANDS OF MILES OF ENJOYMENT FROM THIS BEAUTIFUL CREATION. MORE IMPORTANT AND PROBABLY MOST IMPORTANT IS ALL THOSE ADD ONS WILL MAKE EVERY MILE RODE THE SAFEST THEY CAN POSSIBLY BE. GREAT PRESENTATION AND CLEARLY A PROUD MOMENT FOR THE INSTALLERS TO SEE THIS AMAZING CREATION RIDE OFF AND BE ENJOYED FOR MANY YEARS TO COME.
The fuel cell is custom built and is internally baffled. It is more stable than having a passenger, which weighs 3X as much, and moves around constantly. And its pounds, not gallons.
I’ve always, since I was a kid thought Honda Goldwing’s were “Old Fogey” bikes. After having a bunch of different street bikes from Yamaha to BMW and Harley-Davidson I now know why the Goldwing has such a huge cult following… because they are amazing machines and do their job especially well. This Goldwing is next level and now that I’m in my 40’s I have been eyeing Goldwings. I think if I did get a touring bike it’d likely be a Harley-Davidson Road Glide because I absolutely love Harley-Davidson but I wouldn’t write off a Goldwing, and who knows maybe I could have both so I could ride the Harley for short weekend trips and the Goldwing for weeks long adventures. I dunno, but I do know is that I like BIKE… ALL BIKES! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
What you describe is very common... HD for around town "Stylin", and a Wing for actual touring. Most wives won't ride a HD on a long trip, so they make their husbands buy a Wing! Clearly, the new bike was aimed at bringing in a "younger" rider than the previous models.
@@LongDistanceMotorcycleFans has she ever been on a Goldwing??? I've never heard of that. It's 100% of the time "wife won't ride a Harley, she made me buy a Wing". We know tons of guys who have a HD to be "cool" for riding around town with the fellas, but have a Wing for any actual riding.
@@Traxxion Well I guess I’m your first, and I only ride about 20,000 miles a year, this year it looks like I may be over 30,000. Most of that is with my wife on the back so yeah I think you consider us real riders.
To those with negative comments about 3 navigation units For long distance riding 2-3 GPS is pretty normal, you use one for current navigation, second to find fuel or food and not lose your current and ya know as a back up device in case the first one shits itself. the built in Honda unit is minimally functional, and you have the Garmin which are good and his phone.. which is good if you've downloaded maps or have good cell coverage (not a given thing on long distance rides) and ya know if you have the phone why not keep it handy as an additional backup gps/weather reporting/music/comms device..
All the weight Honda took off the bike, you guys put right back on. Honestly the dash area is way to busy, it look more like my office desktop. Last but not least, there is an over kill on the lighting system. But I do like the foot pegs. 😃
@@Traxxion I probably ran across that guy, I was an Air Traffic Controller for 15 years and had no problem looking over a few gadgets and managing an airport without getting confused. I still think the whole thing is an overkill period. If he has money to burn, good for him! I truly don’t see the Work Horse going into production anytime soon, too heavy and not efficient at all. Keep doing what you do brother! By the way, I did like the parking break tie-in, Honda should take note on that one! 😎
@@DexQuin Not sure what weight you are concerned about. The heaviest accessory on the bike is the fuel tank, which is about 50 pounds when full. 100 pounds of accessories is far less than a typical passenger.
@@Traxxion Max, I have to agree with you on that. Like I said earlier keep doing what you, because you bring more good ideas to the table than most. Trust me, I like what you do! 👍
I'm sure some will freak out about that price tag at the end... but what makes that even worse is you buy products (kuryakyn) that's completely junk. I have the passenger and driver floorboards, upper and lower air deflectors, driver highway pegs from kuryakyn witch all required modifications, and in a shop setting that's more time the customer has to pay in labor. Kuryakyn should offer a full refund to the "war horse". Chances are the "war horse" will be removing those lower air deflectors because they'll dig into the riders legs while using the highway pegs plus they rattle even with foam tape between the plastics. Yanked mine off a few weeks ago.
Within the first week, the hardware on the wind deflectors is already rusting. They also have a horrible shockingly ugly scar on the face looking up at the rider on each side, from where they are filled in the mold...
Also you are right... this guy was paying $125 per hour for me to fix and repair parts that didn't fit, had bad instructions, required tech support, etc, etc. over and over and over and over.
@@Traxxion with your time and the cost of kuryakyn products you damn near could've machined your own custom parts for the war horse. Reason that guy wanted you to work on his bike is he wanted the best to ensure no issues on his journey so the labor cost at the end was completely and 100% justified. Bike has 2 miles on it and you was able to find problems especially the kuryakyn ones.... imagine if he was in the middle of nowhere and all those issues popped up.
Great Japanese motorcycle paired with American custom innovation to bring it to the next level, the stratosphere. Love all that electronic warfare tech.
He DID take the trip, and successfully completed 6 True-Xs, got all of the Tour of Honor Sites in the Four Corner States, got Covid on the trip, and was sick and out, had multiple crazy things like a rock knocking a hole in his oil filter, etc. 75,600 miles he completed, and slept by his bike at night, never stayed in a hotel!!!!!!!
Pakit Rak. They have 2 styles, one is for if you have a trailer hitch. The other is a stand-alone frame and mounting kit. Both Rivco and Pakit Rak have "fully hidden" mounting systems now for the 2018+. When not in use, the bike looks stock from the rear.
greatly overdid and redundant. why do we have so many lights in front. why do you need lights when you have the best lighting (the Sun). adding alot of unappreciated weight to an already heavy motorcycle. and adding additional tanks on top of the passenger seat definitely adds alot of weight and raises the central of gravity of the bike and making it more top heavy. really alot of money that is not well spent. defeats the purpose of buying a goldwing. i think he needs a horse with a wagon to carry more hay to feed the horse...lol

What brand and model is the front-rear dash cam?
amzn.to/35Z1NOb
Enough toys on that bike the rider won't get bored on a long trip, that's for sure.
Is the owner of this bike a drug smuggler. Extreme navigation and radar detection and avoidance. Or is Delta Force/ SEAL Team 6 going on two wheels?
Either way, if I told you, you'd have to die.

After all that he still has a crappy seat. Honda seats are the worst seats in the world especially for your tailbone

@@ShawnKitchen There are a few people out there with truly "iron butts"! You must have one! I couldn't do that.

No clue. But it's not a significant amount of weight. Certainly less than a passenger.
Great! attention to detail. You seem to know what you're doing.
Curious- why a 3min loop, instead of continuous, recorder for an epic journey?
It is the maximum loop time available from the camera manufacturer. You could have an editor string them together I'm sure.

80K.

Those are 2-level decals.
Ok, so the gray is one decal and the white is another?
@@jerrybradford5073 it's a gray base with a black top layer. I didn't want it to "stick out", but rather be subtle, and cool.

What you describe is very common... HD for around town "Stylin", and a Wing for actual touring. Most wives won't ride a HD on a long trip, so they make their husbands buy a Wing!
Clearly, the new bike was aimed at bringing in a "younger" rider than the previous models.
My wife made me buy an H-D Electra Glide
@@LongDistanceMotorcycleFans has she ever been on a Goldwing??? I've never heard of that. It's 100% of the time "wife won't ride a Harley, she made me buy a Wing". We know tons of guys who have a HD to be "cool" for riding around town with the fellas, but have a Wing for any actual riding.
@@Traxxion Well I guess I’m your first, and I only ride about 20,000 miles a year, this year it looks like I may be over 30,000. Most of that is with my wife on the back so yeah I think you consider us real riders.
To those with negative comments about 3 navigation units
For long distance riding 2-3 GPS is pretty normal, you use one for current navigation, second to find fuel or food and not lose your current and ya know as a back up device in case the first one shits itself. the built in Honda unit is minimally functional, and you have the Garmin which are good and his phone.. which is good if you've downloaded maps or have good cell coverage (not a given thing on long distance rides) and ya know if you have the phone why not keep it handy as an additional backup gps/weather reporting/music/comms device..
People who don't know like to tell YOU what YOU don't need...
Amazing 🤩 job
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow Max you have certainly raised the bar for all of us in terms of doing things correctly. Nicely done what a magnificent bike build.
Thank you very much!
Excellent engineering - professional workmanship.
Now that is a GOLDWING 🦾👍🏿💯
All the weight Honda took off the bike, you guys put right back on. Honestly the dash area is way to busy, it look more like my office desktop. Last but not least, there is an over kill on the lighting system. But I do like the foot pegs. 😃
@@Traxxion I probably ran across that guy, I was an Air Traffic Controller for 15 years and had no problem looking over a few gadgets and managing an airport without getting confused. I still think the whole thing is an overkill period. If he has money to burn, good for him! I truly don’t see the Work Horse going into production anytime soon, too heavy and not efficient at all. Keep doing what you do brother! By the way, I did like the parking break tie-in, Honda should take note on that one! 😎
@@DexQuin Not sure what weight you are concerned about. The heaviest accessory on the bike is the fuel tank, which is about 50 pounds when full. 100 pounds of accessories is far less than a typical passenger.
@@Traxxion Max, I have to agree with you on that. Like I said earlier keep doing what you, because you bring more good ideas to the table than most. Trust me, I like what you do! 👍
you forgot the trunk lights
There's nothing available for the 2021 trunk from any company yet.
I'm sure some will freak out about that price tag at the end... but what makes that even worse is you buy products (kuryakyn) that's completely junk. I have the passenger and driver floorboards, upper and lower air deflectors, driver highway pegs from kuryakyn witch all required modifications, and in a shop setting that's more time the customer has to pay in labor. Kuryakyn should offer a full refund to the "war horse". Chances are the "war horse" will be removing those lower air deflectors because they'll dig into the riders legs while using the highway pegs plus they rattle even with foam tape between the plastics. Yanked mine off a few weeks ago.
Within the first week, the hardware on the wind deflectors is already rusting. They also have a horrible shockingly ugly scar on the face looking up at the rider on each side, from where they are filled in the mold...
Also you are right... this guy was paying $125 per hour for me to fix and repair parts that didn't fit, had bad instructions, required tech support, etc, etc. over and over and over and over.
@@Traxxion with your time and the cost of kuryakyn products you damn near could've machined your own custom parts for the war horse. Reason that guy wanted you to work on his bike is he wanted the best to ensure no issues on his journey so the labor cost at the end was completely and 100% justified. Bike has 2 miles on it and you was able to find problems especially the kuryakyn ones.... imagine if he was in the middle of nowhere and all those issues popped up.
@@bigk7788 yeah, it just shouldn't be that hard.

I like how he says it's going to be a 15 minute video at the beginning 😂. Not a Goldwing fan, but this bike is amazing for its intended purpose.
Yep, I missed on that one... you should have seen how long it was before I had it edited down!
That is do fantastic ..i like goldwing..can u build 1000 cc for the beginner pls
Hi David,
I don't know of any 1000cc touring bikes. The Goldwing is the "Gold Standard"!
Great Japanese motorcycle paired with American custom innovation to bring it to the next level, the stratosphere. Love all that electronic warfare tech.
Thanks!!!!!!!!!
my dream bike 😍
It really is a bike beyond imagination.
Thank you sir for this demonstration which was really great.
A big greeting to you from Iraq.....
Thank you Wameed!
Hi Max i couldnt Find black laggage rack for my 2021 goldwing can you share link for me
There isn't one, we had this one custom powder coated by Miller's Powdercoating in Atlanta, GA.
Very nice. Good luck to Chuck on the True X. I don't think I'll be making a trip like that anytime soon but maybe that can be a retirement goal.
He DID take the trip, and successfully completed 6 True-Xs, got all of the Tour of Honor Sites in the Four Corner States, got Covid on the trip, and was sick and out, had multiple crazy things like a rock knocking a hole in his oil filter, etc. 75,600 miles he completed, and slept by his bike at night, never stayed in a hotel!!!!!!!
@@Traxxion Legendary!!!
Nice
Thanks!
This is awesome Max, I love the work you put in the bikes that you do work on, I'm sure I may be back to see you for my bike again!
Thanks Bro!
@@Traxxion You're welcome!
Max, what is the model of that trailer hitch rack? Who makes it? I'm not able to find one like this but I've been looking for it.
Pakit Rak. They have 2 styles, one is for if you have a trailer hitch. The other is a stand-alone frame and mounting kit. Both Rivco and Pakit Rak have "fully hidden" mounting systems now for the 2018+. When not in use, the bike looks stock from the rear.
@@Traxxion Thank you!
@@Kanjo16 Glad to help. We stock those Pakit Raks. I think they are out of stock presently. If you want one, let me know, max@traxxion.com
greatly overdid and redundant. why do we have so many lights in front. why do you need lights when you have the best lighting (the Sun). adding alot of unappreciated weight to an already heavy motorcycle. and adding additional tanks on top of the passenger seat definitely adds alot of weight and raises the central of gravity of the bike and making it more top heavy. really alot of money that is not well spent. defeats the purpose of buying a goldwing. i think he needs a horse with a wagon to carry more hay to feed the horse...lol
5 gallons of fuel weighs in an internally baffled tank weighs around 40 pounds.
How much does your wife weigh?
Yeah, I thought so....
Very nice. Add some headlight covers to protect that expensive headlight assembly!
It has them... from Clearwater. Suspended polycarbonate lenses with protective film on them from Xpel.
Amazing Bike..nice work and good engineering !
James Bond would be proud to show off that bike.
HAHA! Thanks!
Awesome build Max. How did you stop the aux fuel tank from overflowing the stock tank and seeping from the stock filler cap?
Stock filler cap is not vented. The tank is.... we fed into the stock vent.
Holy crap
It's really cool.
Thanks!
