I am currently looking at two '88 models on Craigslist. I actually want the basic model. I don't need or want any of the extra stuff, and it is something else to go wrong. For me, "the simpler the better" is actually a way of life. If you want those extras, and are willing to deal with them, then I would look for a model that has them.

Both the bikes I looked at had those super tall windshields that almost wrap over the top of the rider. I have no idea why anyone would want such a windshield myself (other than on a car) and if I bought one of them, that would be the first thing that got changed. Definitely back to stock height.

"I have done so much with so little,I can do anything !!"

We had a sign in the shop that read "we have done so much with so little for so long that we are now totally qualified to do anything with nothing"

Wasn't far from the truth, either.

Yes, how about some pictures.

Nice. To tall for a Goldwing 1500? First time I've ever heard that.

Jerry, I had a Harley roadglide for 4 years that had a lot more room than the goldwing, the floor boards were postioned further forward. The goldwing has no room at all for tall people. There is bearly enough room for boots to fit onto the floor pegs.

For you to make a comment about to tall for a goldwing, (never heard that) you obviously have no idea what you are talking about. Sorry to say i learned the hard way.

Love the engine,love how it rides, but the Japs have no idea how to make a roomy bike. If i could put this engine in my old roadglide that would be a bike. I will buy another goldwing someday, when i can afford to modify the bike to fit my body.

Peace

No offense intended. I also have a cruiser with forward pegs and more legroom. But I have a 34" inseam and fit on a 1200 Goldwing just fine. The unique design of the Goldwing's engine does make it difficult to put the footpegs forward, many people mount highway pegs on the engine guard.
