ITEM: HO08L56MCA100C

| Nice storage pouch. Has adjustable inner sections. I use it to store my camera and other sensative stuff. I gave up storing helmets in the trunk after I added the trunk lid liner. Besides, with the Nav computer and CB unit also in there, that doesnt leave much room for other than half-sized helmets anyway. I gave 4 stars because it is mounted using velcro strips that I have not had much luck with in the past. It always seems the glue gives before the fuzzy stuff. Satisfied. |

| I like this item because it gives me a ready-access weatherproof place to store my digital camera. I feel safer putting it here where I can get it out quickly as opposed to my pocket where it could easily fall out without me noticing. And since I always wear gloves, my tactile feel isn't all that great so if I was prying the camera from my pocket it could easily slip out and break. Anything you put in this pouch is right there in front of you while riding and you can see everything as it goes in and comes out. A little small for sun glasses though. Easily attaches to gas lid via velco straps and doesn't seem to interfere while gassing up. Very Satisfied. Wow, i get to be the first reviewer of something! |
40 Channel Factory Honda GL1800 CB Radio Kit
ITEM CODE: PG00015

3 Stars
| What can I say -- its a CB (30 year old technology). I approached this purchase as a "tax" on the purchase price of the bike so I wouldn't have switches on my new ride that didn't do anything. An integrated FRS radio would make more sense in todays world but it is a nice insurance policy if you are in need of help or need a bear report for the stretch of road up ahead. If somebody told me a year ago I would be spending close to a grand (including install) for a CB radio, I would of punched them in the face! It works and does all it should. Antenna folds like the radio one does (matched). Built by Clarion. The black box portion lays in the trunk which may interfere with any mats you install there. Dealer installed. Somewhat satisfied (average). |
Kuryakyn Armrest w/ Drink Holder for GL1800
ITEM CODE: KU8991, SKU: KU8991

| Wifey luvs'em. I got them to make sure she doesnt fall out when she falls asleep. Gives her a place for her coffee too (hides underneath when not used). Only bad things are you have to get in the habbit of swinging them outwards everytime you need to open the trunk all the way and the surface angle is off a few degrees from the plane of the stock armrests. I wouldnt put all my body weight on these either. They will bend/break. Otherwise, pretty solid. Very satisfied. Dealer installed. |
Kuryakyn Driver Backrest w/Storage Pouch for GL1800

| I love it (keeps you in place when you nail it, hehe). But the wife complains about her legs rubbing the exposed bars (hence 4-stars). Also tends to rub corners of seat when moving forward. Does have a small zipped storage pouch on back side for wifeys necessities. Has 3 course position settings. I use the rear most setting (as shown in pic at above). All in all it looks good and feels great. Mine was dealer installed. |
Kuryakyn Chrome Luggage Rack w/Rubber Inlay for GL1800
ITEM CODE: KU7151, SKU: KU7151

| The nicest looking one out there! Solid metal construction (not thin-walled tube steel). Rubber patch is a nice touch too. Only had it a couple of months but am very satisfied so far. Doubles as a trunk handle. Very solid. Tends to be a fingerprint magnet though. Wish I had gotten the riser kit too. If you add it later I hear you have to re-drill 2 of the holes because the spacing is spread out some. Bummer. The Kury matching trunk rack bag is a must with this item. Mine was dealer installed. |
Chrome Footpeg Mounts for GL1800
ITEM CODE: KU4544, SKU: KU4544

| I put these on at the same time I upgraded my pegs. They will add about 3 lbs. to the bike. The originals are made of thin hollow cast aluminum (I've heard of some breaking). These are solid 1/2" chrome-plated steel. They aren't going anywhere. They look nice with a set of chrome pegs. I suggest getting the chrome break pedal too or it will stick out like a sore thumb. |

| Very nice and heavy-duty. They weigh over a pound a piece. The originals are like paper in comparison. Be sure to examine how the spring is supposed to go before removing old pegs (original spring & pin are reused). I opted for these instead of the full-sized boards and really like them. I bought the matching hiway pegs and chrome mounts for the "complete" look. I have not had any lost or loose rubber pads yet. I am very pleased with these. |

| Boy, these things are heavy and well made! Just about every axis is adjustable. Foot rest area is large enough for several foot positions: heal, toe, arch, etc. However, the 'wing is so wide that when in use, you have to really spread your legs wide (dont wear shorts if you're shy, hint, hint). Not a flaw with these pegs, but, your legs will rub the edge of the fairing while using them causing undue discomfort along your shins. I bought the matching foot pegs for the matched look. Haven't lost any rubber pads yet. |
