    You need the aftermarket parts for the Harley because after you spend $20,000 + on it you have to spend another $2-3000 more to get it to run right and you still won't achieve the horsepower and torque the Goldwing comes out of the factory with, and that's without liquid cooling. To add more HP to the "B" IMHO would be overkill, but some people live by the creed when asked how much faster do you want to go and their answer is "One more mile an hour."

    Most performance, if not all, would nigate the EPA ratings. If you look closely on the HD Sceening chicken stuff, or the loud pipes it will say "off road use only". Wink/wink/ nod/nod. The B will get you to felony/ careless driving arrest /award before you can say oops. I don't know how HD as a company gets away with the wink/nod.

    Riding a Goldwing is like opening a can of testosterone.

    More Power on the F6B

    This bike will already turn you into a large grease spot on a concrete wall if you chance to screw up while riding. I don't think it needs anymore help than it has already. If you want something to scare yourself with buy a Suzuki Hayabusa

    Hey and I've already outrun a stage 4 HD. That's about as good as it gets for them.

    I think it's just not cost effective for Honda to produce performance parts for the Goldwing. VTX or other Honda bikes maybe,,, but as you can see by the responses, very few would ever spend the extra $$$.
    I've spent most my money on Motorcycles and Women, the rest I just wasted.

    To the OP. You can call Don Guhl and get his most extreme flash on your ECU. Along with that a good set of aftermarket pipes and a K&N air filter will net you 10 or 12 HP.
