What owners wrote
I have been made aware of several incidents of main frame failure on honda goldwing (gl1800's). To this point, all reports I've received have involved 2002 models. I'm working on getting more details and information, but am concerned because I own a 2003 model, and have seen/heard nothing about this - nor does your website indicate any such reports.
