For those who would rather avoid any frame issues, a 2005 or newer GL1800 will be the choice. Also, if you do a lot of stop-and-go, commuter style driving then a 2006 or newer, with bigger radiators and fans, is a better pick.
Anywho, how do you clean a Goldwing windshield?
It can be done simply with a paper towel and F4 Customs Windshield Cleaner, or your favorite glass cleaner (Windex, etc.). Apply cleaner liberally to the shield and wipe clean with paper towel; finish with a clean, dry paper towel. Do NOT use waxy or oily cleaners; they will inhibit the performance of your F4 shield.

That is not alot of miles for a 1500. I have seen them go into the 200,000 mile mark. Depends on year, early ones had tranny troubles, but if the maintanence is kept up, they go way past 150,000 easy!
For windshields, take a rag soaked with warm sudsy water and lay it over the guts to soak for a few minutes, which will soften them up and make them easy to clean right off. You can do the same with a helmet visor, or just remove the whole thing and soak it in the sink. Pro-tip to remove but guts and grime – soak it!
