I know the Goldwing is a hell of a bike (but I would never own one) but what made you "not buy a Goldwing"? Just curious.

The Goldwing is nice and does have plenty of horse but you can't compare the 2 other the being baggers. You maybe should have done the homework before buying.
The last thing I'd do is buy a HD then join a HD forum and state I made a mistake.
Good luck.
PS Sell it and buy a Vision. At least it has a V twin.

When i found out GW production was going from Ohio to Japan. Thats when i decided on the ultra. Before that it was a tough decision between the two. As far as the oil cooler goes i was thinking of geting the one that comes with a fan. if the stage one up grade isn't enough when in stop and go traffic.

But no one can say the Goldwing is not a quality bike. You dont have to fool with them. You can beat the **** out of them and they just keep running.
Also, the weld cracks were on the older 02-03 models and that was with the bikes being welded/assembled here in the USA. So who is to blame?
Both are great bikes for differant reasons. I do agree the Harley has more soul. But when I ride 1000+ miles to Florida, I want comfort and reliability so I jump on the GW

The fans come on only when you are stopped, and blows straight out the front of the bike. When you start moving the fans shut down.
