I clearly need to visit you post haste! I'll email you... Sounds like some exciting times ahead.

Just posting a couple pictures of the bike with the completed Russell Day Long seat. When you assume that the bike and sidecar are 100% complete and ready to be shipped to Europe, another thing pops up, so.....next is adding the Electric Seat Lift from Hannigan, to make it easier for my Boss Monkey to get into and out of the sidecar.

To me, the RDL looks best on the Goldwing.  It just suits the bikes style, in my very subjective and opinionated view.  I'm surprised you didn't have them stitch in "Euro Miles". 

Also just noticed the black and red graphics, with matching graphics on the sidecar.  Very nicely done.  Such a good looking rig.  😎 

Hold my keyboard and watch this! 🙃

Certainly a minor departure from the "man in the grey flannel suit" (timeless and classy BTW) look of other rigs!

Looks like that rig is finally starting to come together!

Now all you need is the right helmet.  Since you've ridden all seven continents, how about this beauty from Schuberth?

FWIW I just acquired a Schuberth C3 in XXL (NOS).  It is slightly more snug than the Shoei Neotec (I) in XXL that it is replacing.  That said I don't find it uncomfortable but I have only had it on for 20 minutes at a time thus far.  I doubt the C5 current model is any more or less generous in sizing.
