Longevity
| After 4 years I had to replace the trumpets. Cost was 76.00. Called Rivco and the person I talked to felt that 4 years was pretty good longevity. Wanted to sell me a new compressor also. Mine still works so I only bought the trumpets. Shipping was quick and replacing them was easy, but I still feel they should last a whole lot longer than 4 years and about 40000 miles. |

Passenger Armrest Trim for GL1800
| Had this product installed at Sturgis. Really adds light and makes the turn signals a lot more visible. Catalog says they are made for 06 and newer 1800s, not 01 to 05 Wings. Fit fine and work well. |
Gen 2 Chrome Fork Brace for GL1800

| I had the previous generation which I really did not like the looks of. Tried to mount the dust covers and never could get them to fit correctly. These look better but had trouble getting them into the proper position. Finally did and went for a test ride hoping that the well known Goldwing wobble would be gone. It is not. Really disappointed. Probably should have just left the bike the way it comes from the factory. |

| Easy install and work well especially in the summer to bring more air across your body. Stick on rubber bumpers missing but found the same thing at Home Depot. Would be five stars if the bumpers were there |

| Easy install and work very well directing air to the rider in the warmer weather. Have not experienced cold temperatures yet. The rubber bumpers that are to be stuck on the forward fairing where the wings would hit when closed were not included. Found a replacement at Home Depot in the cabinet section. Talked to another owner who said he did not have any in his package either. I taped over the mirrors when installing to insure that nothing moved too much. |

| Great sound. What I have been looking for. Installation was easy except for: 1. Bolts holding horns to bracket did not fit very well; used tap and die to make better and 2. instructions included a wiring diagram that was not accurate. I called Rivco and they said the the instructions I received should not have been there. I was the second caller that day. Tech said he would look into it. |
Battery Tender Plus 12V Smart Battery Charger
ITEM CODE: SOMS017102, SKU: SOMS017102

5 Stars
| I only ride on weekends due to work so unit is in the garage and hooked to the bike during the week. I ran the leads out the left side area just in front of the saddle bag. It does show unless I push it in too far, but not a problem. Works great and battery is always ready to go when I get home. |

| I have used this bag in rain and shine and have no problems. I do use a bungy cord in addition to the snap straps, but mostly for peace of mind. Really been happy with this bag. |
Performance Stainless Belly Pan

5 Stars
| Easy install and should really provide good and needed protection for the underside of the bike. Really is something the bike should come with. |
Universal Mounting Trailer Hitch Rack

| Used for the first time at this years Rolling Thunder. Carried a cooler with water bottles and ice. Really worked very well. Only time I knew it was there was when moving bike forward off the center stand. Suggest not putting cooler on rack when on center stand. |
LED Front Reflector Conversion for GL1800/F6B
ITEM CODE: KU7455, SKU: KU7455

5 Stars
| Looks good and works as advertised except the LEDs dim a little when using as directional signal. Not the easiest to fish wires to the mirrors. Used a couple of tie wraps and actually removed one of the mirrors to do the first side. Was able to accomplish the other side without removing the mirror. Son is auto mechanic and he helped a lot. |
