One of the best reasons for owning a Gold Wing is how far you can take it. All you need is some imagination and Hondaline optional touring equipment...

-Full fairing with 2 storage compartments, height adjustable windshield and integrated turn signals.

-Optional instrumentation includes clock, voltmeter, altimeter and air temperature gauge.

-Color-matched lowers

-Heavy Duty Chrome plated steel engine guards

-Color-matched 35 liter saddlebags feature spring loaded pin releases for easy detaching

-Chrome-plated rear bumper for added protection.

-Color-matched detachable trunk with backpad is mounted on an adjustable luggage rack. Adjusts to forward position for use as backrest when riding solo.

-On-board air compressor can adjust your suspension at the touch of a button.

- Choose the Type II modular audio system and get an AM/FM stereo radio, 40-channel CB, intercom, auto reverse deck and super sound.

-Handlebar-mounted controls include tuning and mute switch for the radio and channel select switches for the CB.

nice build in the second pic but I bet that tank of fuel didn't get him far.

now all we need are ads for the 1000, 1200, 1500, and 1800 wings. it interesting to see where the wing came from and how it progressed overthe years

No, but with that girder and struts it would last him a week :smilie_happy:

here is a brochure from 1975, for the Australian delivery Goldwing. there were a few small differences. no reserve lighting unit, and less warning lights on the panel between the gauges, etc.

Very nice Maurice :good:

and here is the front cover of Two Wheels magazine , July 1975. interestingly , the photos used in the article show a US delivery bike. with the reserve lighting unit, different gauge lights, and a miles per hour speedo.
so, the pics were either of the bike used, or lifted from another article.the article itself is full of the usual blurb ( all very positive ) , the only strange thing was they managed to burn the clutch out. probably doing burnouts in the car park, but who knows..... :Egyptian:
