EVEN THE CASSETTE PLAYER!! +++++++++ GOLDWING CHANGED THE "WHOLE BALLGAME" IN TOURING MOTORCYCLES WITH THE FIRST ONE IN 1975 AND THE GL1500 WAS A QUANTUM LEAP FROM THE PREVIOUS 3 MODELS. THE 1500 WAS THE FIRST WITH: +++++LEGENDARY GOLDWING REVERSE ++ ---6-CYLINDER "BOXER" STYLE ENGINE. REDLINES AT ONLY 5500 RPM, PART OF WHY THEY LAST SO LONG. (MANY STILL GOING STRONG WITH 300K, 400K, OR MORE MILES WITHOUT OVERHAUL ---FACTORY AM/FM/CASSETTE WITH INTEGRATED INTERCOM SYSTEM ---ELECTRONIC CRUISE CONTROL WITH ACCELL/DECEL/RESUME (WORKS JUST LIKE YOUR CAR'S CRUISE) ---ON-BOARD AIR COMPRESSOR FOR REAR SHOCK ADJUSTMENT AND EXTERNAL AIR SOURCE. (YES, CAN AIR UP YOUR OWN OR YOUR BUDDY'S TIRES) SOME EVEN PREFER THE GL1500 TO THE NEWER GL1800. (I'M ONE OF THOSE) THE 1500 HAS MORE STORAGE CAPACITY, A HIGHER RATED LOAD CAPACITY, AND HAS A SLIGHTLY MORE "CUSH" RIDE THAN THE 1800. (NOT TO MENTION LOTS LESS COST) THE '98 MODEL WAS THE FIRST OF THE "LAST 3" (YEARS OF THE GL1500) AND INCLUDED LOTS OF CHANGES FROM THE EARLIER MODELS: ---UPGRADED TRANSMISSION (SAME AS VALKYRIE XMSN) ---TWO-TONE (GRAY AND BLACK) SEAT AND PASSENGER BACKREST ---WHITE INSTRUMENTS WITH RECESSED REFLECTOR PLATE (INSTRUMENT BEZEL) ---MORE MODERN STREAMLINED "GOLDWING" SCRIPT AND BADGES ---IMPROVED SUSPENSION AND SOME CHANGES IN ENGINE BEARINGS FOR EVEN MORE LONGEVITY. ---NEW STYLE VALVE COVERS, ENGINE GUARDS, AND COOLING FAN EXIT GRILLS. THIS ONE IS AN SE MODEL (TOP-OF-THE-LINE) AND HAS MANY UPGRADES FROM OTHER MODELS INCLUDING: +++FACTORY CB RADIO++++ ---REAR SPEAKERS WITH FADER CONTROL ---LIGHTED UPPER TRUNK SPOILER (RUNNING AND BRAKE LIGHT) ---TWO-TONE PAINT SCHEME (PANELS ON THIS ONE ARE LISTED AS A DARKER BEIGE BUT MORE LIKE A BEIGE/LIGHT GREEN COMBINATION) ---ADJUSTABLE PASSENGER FLOORBOARDS. ---LOWER COWL CORNERING LIGHTS ---LOWER ENGINE COWL FOOT HEAT VENTS MANY NICE EXTRAS INCLUDING: ---MARKLAND TALL WINDSHIELD, NEWER,EXCELLENT CONDITION. TALLER AND WIDER THAN STOCK. DEFINITELY KEEPS WIND OFF YOU AND CO-RIDER. `---TRANSFORMER PEGS. FOLD UP OR DOWN TO PROVIDE MORE FOOT POSITIONS FOR PASSENGER. (SEE PHOTOS) ---VOLTMETER. INSTALLED ON LEFT SIDE OF DASH ABOVE LEFT SPEAKER. (SEE PIC) ---LOWER COWL TURN LIGHTS HAVE BEEN CHANGED TO RUNNING LIGHTS. (GOOD SAFETY FEATURE) ---DRIVING LIGHTS. (NOT WORKING NOW. PROBABLY EASY WIRING FIX, JUST HAVEN'T TAKEN TIME TO TRY TO FIX. (NOT VERY GOOD AT WIRING ANYWAY) ---CUSHION GRIPS. (MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE THAN STOCK) ---CHROME LUGGAGE RACK AND FAIRING SIDE STRIPS COLOR IS OFFICIALLY CALLED "PEARL CHAPARREL BEIGE" (HONDA PAINT CODE X191P). PHOTOS DON'T REALLY SHOW COLOR WELL AT ALL. LOOKS MORE LIKE A LIGHT GREEN IN THE PICS BUT IS A REALLY PRETTY METALLIC BEIGE. UNFORTUNATELY, HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO GET PICS THAT SHOW THE COLOR WELL. PROBABLY HELPS IF YOU'VE SEEN ONE. REALLY A GOOD LOOKING COLOR COMBINATION WITH THE PANELS. TIRES ARE DUNLOP ELITE 3'S(BEST HANDLING TIRE YET FOR GL1500) REAR IS NEW (LESS THAN 100 MILES). FRONT IS 50% OR BETTER SO GOOD TO GO FOR A LONG TIME. NEW FORK SEALS, BRAKE PADS ALL AROUND, SPARK PLUGS, AND FRESH OIL CHANGE SO WON'T NEED ANYTHING TIL NEXT OIL CHANGE.
