- motorcycle model, Honda brand,
The Honda GL1800 Gold Wing touring motorcycle model appeared in 2001 as a successor to the Honda GL1500 Gold Wing model. Compared to its predecessor, the new version has a number of technical differences:
New engine. The volume increased (1520 → 1832 cm³), received electronic fuel injection (PGM-FI), the timing belt drive was replaced with a chain drive. Increase in maximum performance: 100 → 118 hp, 150 → 167 Nm. Hydraulic compensators were replaced with manual adjustment of the valves using washers.
New frame. Aluminum replaced steel.
New brakes. The model received 3-piston combined brake system (Dual CBS) calipers and versions with ABS.
New appearance and ergonomics. Changes affected the design of plastics, the dashboard and the ergonomics of the seat.
In 2006, the Gold Wing 1800 model received several small changes that affected increased driver comfort when driving in cold weather (increased heating and airflow adjustments), increased speaker size and frame design (reinforcement of the rear). In the same year, it became possible to equip the motorcycle with an airbag (Airbag) and a proprietary navigation system (Internavi).
At the end of 2011, the model underwent a major restyling, receiving an updated and more modern appearance, improved ergonomics and airflow system, an increase in the capacity of luggage cases to 150 liters, and a new audio system. These models are the same as the 2012 versions, production has been moved from the USA to Japan.
2017 was the last year of production of the model, after which it was replaced by a completely new generation - the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing (2018+).

Replacing a monitor on a Honda Gold Wing. Installing a color screen on GoldWing GL-1800 2006-2017.
Do you have a Gold Wing from 2006-2017 and are you tired of the stock monitor? We have a solution for replacing the monitor on the Gold. Since 2021, Honda has stopped importing Gold Wings with large color monitors to Russia and all motorcycles on sale are now only with a small black and white LCD display, the same situation with the Gold Wing F6B buggers, on them Not a single configuration had a color display, and we can install it and have even already installed it. We found the possibility of installing a 6.5-inch color monitor on the Gold Wing in a regular place instead of a small black and white monitor, while preserving the standard information of the radio, open Gold cases, etc. The kit for replacing the screen on the Gold Wing is not the cheapest, but you get a high-definition and contrast monitor, video inputs such as VGA and HDMI, which makes it possible to connect any video device to connect external image sources, from a reverse camera to all kinds of navigation systems and computers.
There will be no “collective farm” for installing the monitor, the kit consists of a special 6.5-inch LCD matrix, a special matrix controller for organizing video inputs, a special controller for displaying standard information, and 2 original Honda plastic parts: Insert into the dashboard panel for the original 6.5-inch monitor (about $80 in America) original part number 37102-MCA-H31 Trim in front of the dashboard, the one on which the speaker grids for a large monitor are located (about $280 in America) original number 64240-MCA-S50ZA.
Monitor replacement price
The entire monitor replacement kit turns out to be: - monitor + controller - 18,800 rubles. — adapter for displaying standard motorcycle information 16,000 rubles. — original spare parts for the modification, including delivery (part numbers are listed above, you can order it yourself) — about 25,000 rubles. – depends on the $ exchange rate and availability in American stores. Replacement and alteration work + consumables, etc. – 20,000 rub. (if necessary, for some money (about 5,000 rubles) you can get control of the monitor with an IR remote control for adjusting and setting the monitor and programming mode changes - an option for those who understand why they need it) Total: for almost 80,000 rubles. we can convert the motorcycle screen to color with the ability to connect any external equipment to this monitor.
This option for converting the Honda Gold Wing GL-1800 monitor is suitable for motorcycles from 2006 to 2021, the F6B bagger is also suitable for this list, the price may increase if you have a European version of the gold wing (2006-2011) and an F6B bagger without heating, then you will have to modify and complete the original golda monitor overlay.
If you have a GL-1800 motorcycle with a standard monitor and navigation, but you want to expand the standard system with a mirror link computer, normal navigation or a camera, then we can help you here too, and here is the estimate: - monitor + controller - 18,800 rubles. — synchronization adapter for displaying standard information 6,000 rubles. Replacement and alteration work + consumables, etc. – 15,000 rub. Total: for almost 40,000 rubles you will get a monitor with a higher resolution, relative to the standard screen, brighter and clearer than the original screen, with a bunch of DIGITAL video inputs. There are companies in Moscow that can make a video input to a standard screen, cheaper than our offer (about 20,000 rubles), but for this money you will be left with your standard monitor with a disgusting 400x240 resolution, poor brightness and only one analog input.
After replacing the Gold Wing GL-1800 monitor, we can offer a lot of further options for the development of this idea, starting from duplicating phone screens, GPS / GLONASS navigation and ending with a full-fledged computer on Gold Wing android / windows with touchscreen and voice control.

Motorcycle Honda GLX 1800 Gold Wing F6B 2021 review
Description of the Honda GLX 1800 Gold Wing F6B 2021 motorcycle is in the queue for publication of the article. Announcement: Today, for almost every new motorcycle that comes into being, marketers strive to carve out their own niche. This one is a road sport, this one is a recreational enduro. But what class should we include a motorcycle that has a little bit of everything? A good bike should have a reliable engine, comfortable ergonomics and simple controls...
Honda GLX 1800 Gold Wing F6B is a fairly popular motorcycle in Russia equipped with a fairly powerful 118 hp engine. Despite the fact that good models of motorcycles have a very respectable price, and the season for their use is relatively short, the motorcycle market is developing rapidly. And if you believe the words of dealers, then some models of recently released motorcycles are selling like hot cakes at the beginning of the season, and the models brought to Russia are clearly not enough to fully satisfy consumer demand.
A motorcycle has long ceased to be an alternative to a car, and the times when this equipment was bought only because there was not enough money for a full-fledged car are forgotten. Nowadays, two-wheelers can be called technological marvels in many cases, and their cost can be compared with that of prestigious cars.
Many people have started buying motorcycles for hobby purposes as riding or even collecting them has become a good pastime for many people. Many motorcycles, for example the Honda GLX 1800 Gold Wing F6B, whose technical characteristics make it possible to call the model a prestigious brand, are in demand among both beginners and experienced motorcyclists.
Motorcycles with an engine capacity of 1832 cc / 111.8 cub in. cube see, appeared as a result of long work of inventors who sought to create a model that was not inferior in characteristics to other versions of the motorcycle. In some cases, these models are not only not inferior, but also ahead of other motorcycles, as they have minimal fuel consumption and other excellent parameters.
Motorcycles with an engine capacity of more than 400 kb. cm, which includes the Honda GLX 1800 Gold Wing F6B - this category of motorcycles simply cannot claim the title of “motorcycle for a beginner.” On the contrary, this is already a serious technique that requires certain control of motorcycle equipment with a smaller engine capacity. Yes, she attracts more attention, she is the most beautiful, fast, interesting and there is a huge selection of models. But as power increases, the weight of the motorcycle inevitably increases. In this class you are unlikely to find motorcycles lighter than 180 kg, unless they are the latest motorcycle models.
