Wow that there is a whole boatload of assumptions about who paid for what-Whats so wrong with two guys who make there living working on and selling stuff for Goldwings working together to make a good bike a great bike.No one is forcing anyone to buy a new suspension system for there Goldwing.These guys are business owners who are dealing in the Motorcycle industry trying to make a buck,pay there employees,pay the utilities,pay the rent or mortgage.I am happy there are places and people like Max and Rick who give us Goldwing owners a way to improve or personalize our rides.Plus I do not believe Rick said the stock 18 suspension was bad-just much better once the Traxxxion system was installed.
