    There is a difference in design and the side panels on this bike are original F6B panels, so I don't believe these were ever painted silver at one time.


    edit ------
    Oooops, didn't read Trike Lady's response …. yes what she said
    Yep, I noticed that. That is why I said changed rather than painted.. I also think the black F6B panel is a better design but, in my opinion, it looks a little out of place on this chromed/blue converted Wing. JMHO.

    Schroaders Honda did the work. My bike is slated next. I was happy they used their bike for the guinea pig. There was a few issues, but nothing that hopefully can't be overcome. The biggest issue is the radio box. There is no part number for it and apparently none in the states. I think the dealership contacted mother Honda in Japan for help. That bike used a borrowed radio box from a F6B. I am just waiting for dollar numbers to commit to this conversion. Casey at Schroaders is my contact.

    GL convertion

    Sorry,

    Ilike the stealth look of a real F6B. That will always be a fake.

    The radio box is just a waterproof square plastic box almost any enclosure around the same size will work mounting is really nothing special, worst case we have a aluminum tank shop next to our shop they could make a substitute really easy.

    I would be interested to see the parts list for the conversion

    All you need is a 2012 or 2013 Goldwing.

    The parts are listed and shown in the F6B and Goldwing (2012and 2013) parts catalogs.

    I downloaded and printed the needed pages for the conversion from Honda's web site in April.

    1) 2013 Honda GL1800B2 Seat

    2)2012 & 2013 Honda Seat

    3) 2013 Honda GL1800B2 Rear Fender

    4) 2012 & 2013 GL1800 Rear Fender

    5) 2013 GL1800B2 Saddlebag

    6) 2012 & 2013 GL1800 Saddlebag

    7) 2013 Honda GL1800B2 Cowl

    8) 2012 &2013 Honda Cowl

    9) 2012 & 2013 Honda GL1800 Trunk Box

    Under these listings you will find all the MAJOR parts you will need to covert.
    You will see how they each have the same part numbers for any thing needed to be mounted.

    Just add paint and labor.

    These parts have been available sense April.

    Tony I told to then it could be done AND it would be ... But some one beat me to doing it.

    I am guessing your talking converting a prior 2012 bike I was talking 2012+ you should not need half the stuff for example I think the saddlebags are the same certainly parts I had painted came off a stock bike and fit my F6 and also the fender etc is the same.

    Hence I was asking for the list he gets quoted for so we can see what is really involved

    You're right Pedro66.

    Some people just need reference points to go by. To compare the similarities of each model / year. Prices are shown for each part.

    No, I said a 2012 or a 2013 conversion nothing earlier.
