Alright bro I gotta hand it to you. I was a Motorbike mechanic for 10 years in England and Canada. The other guys and me would always get mad when people messed with their bikes and removed them from stock/factory. It was a pain to work on as for us their were extra steps and things to take into account when either diagnosing a problem (could be electrics and you got all the extra lights, so we gotta rule that out) so its always eltrical steps electrical, mechanical and cycle parts. But man you did this right and on a Goldwing, the king, yes the Goldwing wins and always will from all perspectives relative to competition. The Goldwing always will win. So it would upset us when people messed with Goldwings, but we got it, compared to the sports bike guys who mess with perfectly good GSXR1000s etc, just a waist of time and money, they are destroying a work of art. So when doing Goldwings its gotta be done right, clean factory finiish, perfection. You my friend its really good (apart from that ridiculous cup holder hahah sorry I had to drop that in there. But no seriously great work, thankyou. And that is coming from one of the best back in the good old days before I had no choice but to retire and say goodye with great sadness. Peace
Love your bike and those upgrades. I’m shopping for one now. Love to see a video of you out on this bike and how it sounds with that exhaust just cruising.
Brandon, I have 2013. Very similar accessories. Pathfinder, LEDs all around, Mustang seat which I also very much enjoy, and a Madstad windshield the same as yours. Definitely makes the bike look very sporty. I have sitting in my garage in boxes Cobras 6-2-6, torque loops, belly pan, night led lights, and Henry's final gear. I probably have a few more stuff around and hopefully will take a week off from work to get this done. I'm also a veteran and still serve as a reservist. I probably work more on the bike than ride it but to me is a therapy that I love. Safe riding brother! Go Navy!!!
Got full LEDs front & back on my '14 Goldwing and love it. I use to ride with the high beams & fogs, during the day until my buddies riding in front of me once said they'd rather stare into the sun then check their mirrors with me behind them--they're that bright! I always wanted Traxxion Dynamics put on my bike, but could just never pull the trigger. Nice F6B. Glad you're enjoying.
It also took me a while to pull the trigger but now that I have it, I don't regret it at all. Other F6b riders that test out my bike can tell the huge difference also.
@@MegaBgibbs I know, a few years back I was on the BRP with a buddy, pulling a trailer with his GW and I could barely keep up. Truly impressive, but $4k on a 10 year bike? At this point I don't need to impress anyone with my skills 😀 Ride safe!
Good choice Brandon. I have close to the exact same bike. Mine is 2015, same color, Mega Monty, Helilbar kit, Russell Day Long, MadStad windshield, and Two Brothers Racing exhaust. I can vouch for the Russell but not against the Ultimate as I've never had one. If the Wing had a 10 gallon tank, the Russell would allow me to never get off. It's that nice and spreads the pressure points totally away from any tailbone issues. Agree also on the Mega Monty upgrade totally changing the handling of the F6B. The Rivco's are a must and work great. Forgot to mention that I also installed the Torque Loopz in front of the Two Brothers and yes, that took care of the drone noise. I've got a Corbin arriving tomorrow to try out just for fun to compare to the Russell. Good friend sold his 2013 F6B several months ago that he put 185,000 miles on and it had a Corbin Smuggler from day one. He obviously had no problem with the Corbin. Take care...Ride safe.
you got yours all set up. Let me know what you think about the Corbin. From what I hear though is it forms to your butt, so if your get a used one it may not feel right. But let me know. I want you to try out an Ultimate so you can give a comparison!
@@MegaBgibbs Mine is new coming tomorrow from Commiefornia so it won't have someone else's butt imprint. It will put me into the bike more than on the bike which is what the Russell does. Not a negative, but just different. Miles will tell. The advantage of the Russell is that you take photos on your existing seat, give them your specs, etc and so the seat is built for you. You will grin for days after the Helibar kit is installed. It is a 100% gamechanger as far as comfort for the arms and shoulders and gets rid of any reach issues and wrist bend with the stock bars.
@@walcrow7319 when i was getting my mega done i finanlly got to sit on a corbin but it was on a sporty harley. Felt good like it supported you more but could i do it on a long ride. I guess ill be waiting on your review of it! But i did enjoy the way it sits you “in” the bike.
@@MegaBgibbs Paid $860 + Shipping. Went with Gray leather for the whole seat, red stitching and welting. From date of order I received it in 2 weeks. They do send it SIGNATURE REQUIRED which they did not relay to me when I contacted them. Just beware of that if you order one. It's now on and the Russell is in the Corbin box. Miles will let me know how it is but so far, it is not that rock-hard feeling that other Corbin riders complain about. It is damn near perfect but the first 150 mile trip will be the judge.
Nice. Excellent presentation. Very thoughtful upgrades to appearance and performance, did your homework. Expensive, but nothing beats peace of mind and a confidence assuring safe motorcycle. Just purchased a 2015 GL1800 w/20K miles on it and starting my mods. Kinda makes you a little mad that Honda on their flagship GW doesn’t come new with better quality components for the price you pay! Ride safe.
GREETINGS FROM THE PPRC GREAT BIKE. I RIDE A 2015 F6B HAD A DAYLONG SEAT DIDN’T LIKE IT,ITS A TRACTOR SEAT I’M SIX ONE AND HAD A HARD TIME GETTING MY FEET DOWN UNLESS YOU SLIDE FORWARD ON THE SEAT. WENT WITH THE ULTIMATE, MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE THAN THE DAY LONG. RIDE SAFE.🇺🇸🏍️
Nice build and great sound 👍, I'm not a big fan of Ultimate seats or any seat that's the soft cushion type, they get super hot when the temp is up and loose support quickly. I like to ride on "saddles" like Corbin seats, after they break in the support never give out.
Thanks… and i dont havevtge patience to break in a corbin seat and im not a hard seat person. Maybe this winter ill send in my stock to russell day long just to see what all the hype is about
I’m a crotch rocket guy getting up there in age 😂 my question is is this a flickable bike despite the size what I mean is it agile and what about the power is there a way to tune it and ad some more to it?great looking bike dude seriously I love it!
@@MegaBgibbswhat where you saying about torque loops or whatever? I also have the 3x3 cobra pipes but I didn’t recognize the term you mentioned about torque __?
If you ever sell that contact me!! It would be nice for me and my son to have matching bikes. It’s really looking good. Hope to run in to you someday were not that far away from each other safe rides.
Those would be Torque Loopz and get installed in front of the exhaust slip-ons and doing so, you get rid of the catalytic converter and it's extra weight.
@@walcrow7319 I have the 6 to 6 cobras. but there are other after market exhaust. (i.e. two brothers, freedom, and a lot of others,) but the torque loops get rid of the drone.
@@MegaBgibbs there is a plug and play harness then you program it with button pushes. Now, mine is more accurate than before. My garmin gps and spedo match perfectly. I got the gear indicator from the same place.
@@cyclechris6591 what do you mean the fix? I have the klockwerks and it’s cool but I should have gotten a taller one. I’m 6’7 so just a bit too much wind. Is there a way to adjust it or ?
I heard there is a remote control for the saddlebags, rather than using the key to unlock all the time. Has anyone else heard this? If so, let me know where I can order from! Thanks so much!
The F6B I had was awful. Front wobble Unbearable wind buffeting Awful seat No character motor cramped legs The entire concept was personally awful But the instability I tried to fix with new head bearings and progressive springs. The wind buffeting I tried to fix with different height screen. When a bije cannot be ridden iver 30 mph without havingvyour head smashed side to side uncontrollably andcyou have to duck down pearing at the road is beyond comprehension. I never had one pleasure ride on it, only picking it up and taking it to have fixed and selling before I took a sledge hammer to it. It was a very low mileage bike It was unrideable. It was so bad It should be a reason for class action against Honda if commonplace.
@@MegaBgibbs I swapped the Honda for a low mileage 1900 Yamaha, though a Honda ST 1300 would have been a good alternative for me. I am glad others get to ride.

Thanks!! I’ve been waiting to hear from those that can give their opinion regarding both.
Nice & Clean all the way Round!
Thanks, theses are 5 years worth of mods and remoding.

How did you run the wires for the wireless charger, I have it mounted just haven’t ran the wiring.
I ran it down the left handle bar though the fairing and to the battery. I had to take out the storage and control panel to get the wires through.
@@MegaBgibbs ok thanks I’ll give it a try this weekend.
Usa has all the great stuff on bikes and cars
The mega monty was the best upgrade. 2nd was the Henrys final drive. So much smoother drive.
Read up on it. Seems like a nice upgrade i just dont want to mess with the speedometer

So I'm 5ft 7 does the ultimate seat let you become more flat footed
The midrider
So how much did you spend on all the accessories ?
Oh man, i don’t even know. I had my bike almost 5 yrs. So added pieces here and there.
I took the baffles out of my cobra’s and MANNNNN!!! Mean!!! Nice Bike!!!
You got a video? I was curious about how loud it would be without baffles.
@@MegaBgibbs give me a few and I will upload it

What’s the windscreen.?
Klock Werks
Will you ever want to sell?
Not actively looking but everything i own is for sale for the right price!
@@MegaBgibbs I am always in the market if the price is right as well. How can I contact you?
I heard there is a remote control for the saddlebags, rather than using the key to unlock all the time. Has anyone else heard this? If so, let me know where I can order from! Thanks so much!
I heard of and seen them. Its nice but you have to take apart the manual unlock function. So if the battery dies in remote or bike ur stuck
Bad a$$ Dad ride 👍🏽👍🏽
