well if looking in to used bikes and you like the goldwing why not look in to the Valkyrie.
I had one for a bit I traded a job for I thought it was a sweet ride I know the guy I sold it to and it had over 75k on it last summer and still no major work done to it just maintnance.
BTW I loved the look of 6 pipes coming out the back
dont see a lot of them around so you dont have to wory about looking like the 5 other guys you pull up next to at the stop light that day who just bought a new bad *** alter ego

That sight is for the 1800s mine is a 1500.
Maybe check on some Goldwing internet forums and see if anyone has information for the 1500?
I would recomend you consider triking your bike with 22000 miles a Honda Gold Wing is still new. YOu can keep every thing you now have and add the stabililty you are looking for. Your wife will love the bike as a trike once she has a chance to ride on it. I would visit a dealer that has trikes and take one for a ride. With your wife along of course .Then again you may not want to do this, because she will want one. Look for one with independent suspension. Most dealers will not have a 1500 but the feel of a trike will not be that different from a 1800 to a1500. The cost of triking will be about the same as buying a new bike of a diifferent make but you have a known ride and every thing you like right now.

My brother has a '10 StreetGlide and at the stock ride height, I can sit on it and flat-foot it, and I'm only 5'6".
The new H-D's with the 103 engine are pretty nice rides.

Goldwing to Roadglide
I sold my 91 wing and bought a 2012 Roadglide Ultra last fall. I love the change although I did not get much lower to the ground, I too am 5'10". My wife was concerned about the ride and noise and it really is no different and is actually smoother (much newer as well).
A friend had the training wheels on his 99 wing and liked them a lot, maybe a cheaper solution to a trike kit. Hit one button and they drop at a stop.
