Goldwing teardown

I've started some of the bike's tear-down.  It has a crap load of stuff I don't want to keep.

Top box off,

side cases off,

seat and fake tank (that's right, the real tank is under the seat) and luggage rack off off.

Finally the fairing is gone.

Note that lump on the front, that is a weight used when the bike has a fairing, that will be gone soon.

Sometimes you find weird stuff when you take apart a bike but this takes the cake.  It was under the fake tank?!


This is the stuff I've taken off so far. It's got to weight over 100lbs. and I haven't taken off the trailer hitch yet.

Here is a cheap fender I picked up.  It might make it on the bike or not, I just want to see if I can carve a gargoyle in it and maybe have it lit up somehow.
