Battery Tender JR 12V Smart Battery Charger
ITEM CODE: SOMS017122,   SKU: SOMS017122

I had to buy new batteries annually after winter storage until I bought this battery tender. I now leave it plugged in all year round and it has been 4 years since I've had to buy a battery! This product pays for itself quickly in reduced maintenance and peace of mind. I'd recommend one for every bike you ride regularly.

Avon Cobra Chrome Radial Tires for GL1800
ITEM CODE: PG23038

I've put over 100,000 km on my 2004 Goldwing and tried a number of different tires. The Cobra's provided by far the best handling for my spirited driving style. I have been able to get 25,000 km (15K miles) from the front tires and about 15,000 km (9K miles)from the rear. I went further on Elite 3s but the bike didn't fall into the curves near as easily. One caveat - you need to over inflate the front tire or it will cup. I put in 41 psi and the tires wear evenly and it reduces the low speed front end wobble. I'm currently on my second set and plan to buy them again.

Avon Cobra Chrome Radial Tires for GL1800

I previously rode on Dunlop Elite 3's and thought they were pretty decent, lasted well (19,000 miles). Based on a test drive on my buddy's wing, I decided to go with the Cobras. Wow - what a difference in handling! They stick to the road like glue, wet or dry. They also roll into curves very, very easily. I was advised to run the tires for 100 miles before pushing the bike hard. That was excellent advice - I initially had a tendency to lean too hard into the curves. I've put on about 1500 miles since installed 2 weeks ago. Wingstuff did a great job of delivering the tires to my mechanic's shop and gave me the best price available anywhere. Cupping comes from weak shocks - hopefully I won't have the same issue mentioned by others.
