Sockets for mp3 and ipod in left hand compartment. You can control the ipod via the radio function button and see display on radio lcd screen. (I'm told) When I get mine I will show pics! lol
Don't think I would want to have the compartment able to be opened without key, A, might open via vibration, B, you want to get it pinched?
I couldnt afford a gold wing either, and wife insisted on new, so it had to be voyager (shame eh)!

Voyager at dealership here in Ms. (Vicksburg) is selling for $15,799. Don't know if a Wing is worth $10,000 more. Plus the Wing doesn't even sound like a motorcycle, more like a high-powered weedeater, and way too much plastic. Love the classic look and sound of my V-Twin. That Voyager will be hollering at me in 3 or 4 years ( or the Nomad or the V2K).

For just under a gazillion dollars they have a mp3 plug in kit avail or avail soon....

5800 miles out of a rear tire !! Something is way wrong there. I have NEVER heard of a touring bike getting less than 10K out of a tire. I get 6500-7000 on my Hayabusa riding hard! 12,000 on my VTX 1800. 18,000 on my 98 Wing.

In the left hand glove box is a plug in for an I-pod and MP3. you just have to buy a cable through Kawasaki

Regarding the locking boxes. I am thinking something like your car glove box...a positive latch that you can lock if you choose.

Mr Clean that is a sweet looking ride!

I agree....if the difference is 10k between the Voyager and the Wing I would go with the Voyager too. Voyager is much better looking....but it is hard to beat the power and smooth ride of a Wing.

the mp3 player wire is in the left side pocket in the fairing!

Sounds like a great trip. One of these days I will take a trip like that one.

Garry,

Did you ever find out what the reason for your low mileage out of the rear tire? How did the replacement do?

gv550 · 01-12-2010, 09:38 PM

It was normal wear on the stock Bridgestone, others have reported 6-8000 miles.
I replaced it with a Dunlop E3 160/80B-16 and it went 22,000 miles.
