GL1000 / 1100 / 1200 Authority

The vintage Honda Goldwing platform demands highly focused knowledge. Most modern auto and motorcycle shops won't go near them. We are dedicated experts in this platform.

The Revitalization Process

An initial inspection must be conducted before a parts list can be generated for ordering. On average, the cost to fully modernize and revitalize a sitting Goldwing is roughly $1,800-2000 in parts (including new tires). Note: This estimate can fluctuate depending on the condition of your existing components.

Labor Structure: To protect our clients from spiraling hourly fees on massive overhauls, Goldwing revivals operate on a reduced day rate of roughly $110 / day. Billing begins upon the arrival of the bike to our garage, which is scheduled strictly after the purchase and delivery of all necessary parts.

Upgrades & Modernization

We don't just fix Goldwings; we bring them into the 21st century.

  • Charging: Fully modernized OEM-style stator charging systems.
  • Comfort: Highway peg installation is included on every Wing we service.
  • LED Updates: Full update to LED Head/Brake/Tail lights, plus over-flash protected LED blinkers.
  • Smart Lighting (Optional): Gear-shift RGB underglow lighting and decel-based brake lighting.
  • Audio & Power (Optional): Modernized audio packages and 12v charging systems.
  • Custom Instrumentation (Optional): Custom side-fairing gauges (voltmeter, coolant, gear position, or any custom electrical readouts).

A Note on Final Drives

We believe in absolute transparency regarding our tooling. We are actively developing the highly specialized capabilities required to safely tear down and rebuild Goldwing final drives in-house. However, at this time, the safest and most cost-effective route for a severely damaged final drive is direct replacement. If your final drive is failing, we will happily source and install a verified used replacement part to get you back on the road safely.

Commissioned Restorations (Coming Soon)

In the future, Rice-MotoTech LLC will be opening limited slots for full, bespoke commissioned restorations.

These will be ground-up mechanical and aesthetic revivals designed for riders seeking to resurrect a legacy machine for decades of future reliability. We will handle the severe headaches that standard shops refuse to touch, approaching every commission with an uncompromising, industrial standard of assembly.

Future Waitlist

Because these projects require extensive bay time and dedication, we will strictly limit the number of commissions accepted per year.

Please mention your interest during a standard service call to be added to our priority waitlist.
