Consumer Description

2002 GOLDWING GL1800 BROKEN FRAME ON THE BOTTOM OR THE REAR FRAME TUBES CAN RESULT IN SEPARATION AND THE REAR OF THE BIKE WILL COME OFF INCLUDING DRIVER, PASSENGER,SADDLEBAGS AND REAR TRUNK! HONDA WILL DO NOTHING TO FIX IT! IF THE DAMAGE GOES UNSEEN BY A TECH THE OWNER WILL NEVER KNOW THE FRAME IS BROKEN BECAUSE IT IS NOT IN HONDAS RECALL OF THE WELDED CENTERSTAND AREA. THE REPLACEMENT FRAMES HAVE GUSSETTES WELDED IN THE AFFECTED AREAS, SO HONDA KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM. AFFECTED FRAMES ARE IN 2001-2004 HONDA GL1800 MOTORCYCLES AND WAS UPDATED IN LETTER 2004 MODELS! HONDA SERVICE REP VIRTUALLA SAYS TOO BAD! *TR
