Roadwing Electrical Harness


Hi I'm Gonzo! Godfather of the Roadwing, a Honda Goldwing GL1800 rear shock with an electric over hydraulic preload adjustment, modified to fit the under sprung Road Star 1700. Here is the place to learn more about the electrical harness you need to make it all work. I am the sole provider of this harness though I provided the wiring diagram years ago for those of you that want to make your own. Refer to Tykes page for the original write-up at :

https://tykesplace.com/yamaha-roadstar/roadwing/

There are probably over 600 Road Stars converted to this shock now. It is a 200lb increase over stock spring rate coupled with Honda's premiere bike's top of the line actuator. Your bike will handle like its on rails once you've completed the install, and being able to adjust the preload at the flick of a switch is miles better than jacking up your bike and making 1/4" turns of a nut when you add a passenger or gear. No more frame bashing either. 



The harness has two relays for the up and down actuation, is fully loomed and connects to Honda's stock connector. All that is needed to install is to connect the fuse to the Battery (+), ground to the frame, mount the switch where you want it and plug into the Roadwing shock. Done. The switch is on a 48" lead so it can be installed into a fairing. Others have installed theirs in the side cover, under the tank, in the fuel pump cover, in the neck of the bike for ideas.

The Roadwing harness is $48 and $8.45 shipping USPS with tracking in the continental U.S. I have been shipping on Fridays but may be able to ship sooner during the Summer months. I build per order.

Paypal to GonzoCJ5@yahoo.com

Mounting the Shock

Many people have questions regarding mounting the shock on an already tight bike. Remove your right side cover and pull the two relays off the frame bracket and move them to the right. Slide the Roadwing motor in behind that bracket and down. Use a cable tie to strap the pump to the bracket and dress your relays in. Done.

    Just looking to know before making purchase of both harness and shock (from ebay) but does the shock itself need to be modified in any way or just bolt on?

      Small modifications need to be made. Replacing the eye end bushing with a bronze bushing and drilling a new hole in the aluminum clevis and removing the excess. You can read all about it here: https://www.jrbk.net/roadwing/roadwing-conversion/

Road Star Batwing Harness

Gonzo's Batwing Interconnect Harness for Road Stars So you want to put a full batwing inner and outer fairing on your bike, but you're not sure about the wiring. Let me make it easy for you... My Batwing Interconnect harness will plug into the stock two plugs that went to your tank mounted speedo and will provide all the functions to your dash indicator panel like (separate) left and right turns, oil (engine) lamp, high beam indicator, and neutral. The HD dash indicator panel comes in different configurations, LED or little bulbs, and the connector size changes. Before procuring this harness, procure the indicator you wish to use or let me get it and send it tp you all at once. My harness will provide pigtails to connect your new gauges to and will be labeled as such.  I will need to know which gauges you are using. I used SpeedHut gauges like these which are configurable for color, needles et al. Refer to SpeedHut.com. The Batwing Interconnect Harn

Honda Shadow Electrical Light Harnesses

Honda Harnesses Lets face it, we love our Hondas. I bought my Shadow 1100 in 02 and its now 2020. I have had a plethora of other bikes come and go but still have my Shadow. They have their issues and one I help eleiminate is the dead start button issue. You see, Honda put the headlight circuit through the start button. When its not pressed, it runs the headlamp. When pressed, it disconnects the headlamp and diverts all the battery to starting the bike. Ingenious, right? But the small copper contact is help in place with plastic, plastic that gets hot when the headlamp runs and glazes over the start contacts.  In addition, when people add lightbars and accessories to their bike, the first thing they think of is to tie it to their headlamp so it comes on with the key. So you're running 4.5 amps through that small copper contact running a 55W headlamp at 12Vdc,  and now adding two 35 or 55 Watt running lamps for an addition 6-9Amps. That switch doesn't stand a chance. You p
