“2008 Honda goldwing GL1800. Turn indicator cancels after 10 flashes approximately 10 seconds and other issues. The hazard warning signal only functioned with the key in the ignition switch and on accessory. The seat on the bike was very uncomfortable after riding for an hour. The dealer suggested purchasing an aftermarket seat.”
