Other side view.

So, Saturday we decided to take a lovely ride in the countryside. We tootled on down to Stockton. There just happened to be a Honda Goldwing Motorcycle for sale there at a gentleman's home. 'Twas a thing of beauty, she was! All silver and shiny, polished up, just waiting to be riden home. We decided to try her on for size and found her an very good fit indeed, not too intimidating for the Mike, the driver and very comfortable for me, the passenger. We just couldn't let anyone else have her. We put down a deposit, wrote up some paperwork and promised to come back for her the following week.

We thought you might like to see some of the pictures of our new addition. No drooling, please!

Mike,

I also have a 2007 Goldwing (also Silver in color) and want to ask you a question.

Do the selector buttons just above the gas tank lid have back-lighting? These are the Audio, CB, I-Com, Nav, 1,2,3,4,5,6, FM, AM, A-Sel, CD, WB, Aux.

Thanks...

She IS a looker! All I have to say is don't let playing with all those gadgets get you in any accidents! Congrats!

now see...that's why i have a car laur. if i fiddle with gadgets while i'm driving and wreck, at least i'm surrounded by a steel cage. ;) good looking machine mom and pops. i'm jealous that it has ipod hook ups! i had to provide my own super lame one that broadcasts on a radio signal. i want a direct line!

To Stevetehee,
Yes, both the buttons and the indicators above the buttons are backlit. Panel lights can be dimmed and brightened. Maybe yours are just all the way dimmed.
Hope this helps.
Mike
