Chassis/Suspension

• The innovative aluminum frame is specifically engineered for optimum rigidity with tuned flex.
• This combination of rigidity and flexibility produces excellent handling, superb riding comfort and wonderful road feel.
• Inherently smooth flat-six-cylinder Gold Wing engine also serves as a tuned stressed frame member. The solid engine-mounting system utilizes specially designed hangers and carefully matched mounting bolts to provide both excellent road feel and minimal engine vibration.
• The Gold Wing's rigid Pro Arm® single-side cast-aluminum swingarm provides simplified servicing of the rear wheel and tire while ensuring optimum handling.
• Dual full-floating 296 mm front discs with Linked Braking System™ (LBS™) three-piston calipers and a single ventilated 316 mm rear disc with one LBS three-piston caliper provide excellent braking power.
• Honda's LBS features a second master cylinder and a three-stage proportional control valve to couple the three-piston calipers of the dual-front and single-rear brake discs. Using the front brake lever activates the outer two pistons of the front right-side caliper and the center piston of the front left-side caliper and, acting through the secondary master cylinder and an inline proportioning valve, the outer two pistons of the rear caliper. The rear brake pedal operates the center piston of the rear brake caliper, the center piston of the front right-side brake caliper and the outer two pistons of the front left-side caliper. A delay valve sensitive to the rider's pedal pressure smooths front-brake engagement.
• Model equipped with ABS features an electric-motor-driven modulator that provides rapid and precise braking-pressure adjustments, resulting in smooth ABS operation. The system incorporates an integrated ECU, self-diagnostics with an interactive ECU test function and automatic protection against system failure.
• Massive 45 mm front fork houses a cartridge damper in the right leg with 5.5 inches of travel for a smooth yet superb ride in all road conditions.
• Antidive system minimizes front fork dive when braking. The system utilizes brake fluid pressure generated in the secondary LBS master cylinder mounted on the left fork leg and is activated by input from either the front brake lever or the rear brake pedal. This application of antidive and LBS produces enhanced stability when maneuvering at both low speeds and highway speeds.
• Pro-Link®-mounted rear shock provides 4.1 inches of plush travel for relaxed touring or sport riding.
• Computer-controlled adjustable hydraulic rear suspension preload is easily set by the rider with push-button controls, and features a two-position memory.
• Unique driveshaft-damping system utilizes a double-pipe structure with a rubber-bonded coating applied to the inner pipe to absorb road shock and engine torque. The long-life design simplifies rear-wheel maintenance.
• Final gearcase assembly design in the Pro Arm eliminates wheel alignment splines and ensures accurate alignment of the rear wheel after servicing.
• Cast-aluminum 18 x 3.5-inch front wheel and 16 x 5.0-inch rear wheel are lightweight and strong. Radial touring tires are specifically engineered for the Gold Wing, providing a combination of excellent traction, cornering grip and long tire life.

Comfort Package

• Riding is fun, but we know it's nobody's idea of fun to be cold, so we're introducing a Rider Comfort package to even further enhance what's already the best, most sophisticated touring-bike bodywork in the world. With our new Cold Weather Comfort Package feature, you can add heated grips and even a heated seat and passenger backrest specially designed for rider and passenger comfort, all wired to run off your Gold Wing's electrical system (featuring a new-for-2006 standard-equipment 1,300-watt alternator). In addition, there's adjustable warm-air ducting from the engine to heat your feet.

Engine/Drivetrain
