Check out this goldwing, it is not a one-off job, there's a company that sells this as a kit...   It is not really "solo", but it still has all the trunk stuff off... http://www.mblinnovations.com/index.html-Mike |

Looks cool but I don't really see why someone would want one. If someone buys a wing it is because they want a touring machine. If you want a badass looking bike, buy a Rune.

Ida know... I "tour" on my tourer which is set up solo... Goldwings are good bikes, I think it would be cool to be able to easily set one up solo (I realize this one's not really solo, but close). I'd ride it... -Mike |

I have to forward this to the old man. Dad's been (even more) jealous of the valk, especially since I super-valked it. He still likes all the bells and whistles of the wing, and needs the reverse gear, but loves the look of my I/S.

I like the look. honda refuses to build a new valkyrie so leave it to an american company to build one. the site also shows 2 cams avail for the GL1500 and one for the valkyrie. |

Looks ridiculous. Why take the trunk off a touring machine?  |

Different strokes for different folks I guess, but why in the heck would anyone want to do that to a Goldwing? They might as well put a set of ape hangers on it while they're at it. Viola....Goldglide.  |

I like it..... kinda Sporty and not necessarily Solo... but nice looking. Provides flexibility to the Goldwing that I have not seen elsewhere. |

I like it. The GL1800 handles like an 800 lb. sportbike already and this just gives it a different look. I love my Valkyrie but sure do miss my 1800 Wing too.

Like it - looks sleeker and more 'tude.  Plenty of comfort and yet sporty too. I get it. Can I have one please?  |

Looks darn good to me.
Kinda takes the "old fart" edge off the Wing.

Who's got the pic of the "naked" wing? I believe it was Blue and Silver. Almost like a Rune, but better!

This one?  It is doomed, without the bags. I guess the "black slab" on the yellow one hides a bunch of the rear frame too... I want the yellow one with a solo seat and no black slab... the exposed frame in the picture of the blue one probably shows why that's not going to happen easily... -Mike |

Check the website for the kit, they offer/can get it painted for you to match your wing so you don't have the "black Slab".
