Ergo II Highway Pegs for GL1800 Gold Wing
ITEM CODE: KU4056, SKU: KU4056

Post Mishap and Breaking
I have had these for years and very much enjoy them. Even though I still have to "crank" my knees and legs to the outside of the cylinder heads, which results in my lower leg hitting on the side of the fairing-- it is a comfortable alternative to resting my feet on my "stock" pegs. I recently found out that if you lay the bike over....the shafts are designed to break(insert sad face here). And Kuryakyn sells replacement arms (insert OK face here). But only as a pair....so that means I now have an "extra" for another mishap! |

Work for me!
I have had these on for several years and I would not take long trips without them. Really easy to install and can adjust to many positions. Best part is they flip up and out of the way while the Wing is parked in the garage so you don't test their structural integrity with your lower shins! |
Passenger Drink Holder

Quality Product
Install was easy enough. But I agree that the retaining rubber "fingers" are stiff and long! This causes a lot of "push" to get larger drink containers in and a lot of "pull" to get them out. I have only had on for a short time, but I suspect I will have to monitor the nut and bolt tightness. Deep pocket/basket doubles as a storage area for smaller items - glasses, house keys, cell phone (small ones), etc. |

Flag Report
I installed this shortly after I got my '07 Wing and reall like the way it looks and the way it installed. Yea, as stated, the flag wraps itself and unwraps itself...but I just make sure it is unfurled when I get on or off. My original flag lasted about 20K miles, and was badly frayed on the end. Make sure you replace with the correct size Kuryakyn (or other??) flag - it is about 4 1/2" X 6". The top stem does unscrew, but I used a towel and light pressure with some pliers to convince the removal process. I also used a small amount of anti-sieze grease when I re-installed. I have had no wear or damage to my trunk lid or Kuryakyn book rack. |

Trunk and Sadlebag Installation - Reality!
These lights look great! However, as much as I enjoy watching Chris the Kuryakyn guy and his installation videos, the reality is a bit different. Trunk install: these stock trim pieces came off easily; and the 2 side pieces went on easily. But the longer center piece was a bear to "snap" into the various places...but it did go on. The supplied installation instructions could use a lot of help when it came to the plug-and-play wiring. They tell you to unplug either the red or blue connectors...but realize there are 2 red and 2 blue. Pick the color you want and unplug BOTH (a 3 wire and a 2 wire I think). Plus running the 26" extension wire under the trunk lower housing was not as simple as the video seemed to indicate. Then come the saddlebags. Removal of the saddlebag door mounted pieces was OK, except geting to the screw adjacent to the bungee connector was tough - and even tougher during the install (you are threading the retaining screw into virgin plastic). But that went OK. The shorter corner pieces were more trouble. The stock pieces have two-sided heavy-duty tape to hold them in place i addition to the 2 rear screws. Once you pull that corner piece off you will need to remove all the remaining old tape and residue. Get some Goo Gone and a putty knife and clean that area well. The instructions indicate drilling a 5/16" hole, but you need to drill 2 holes and I had to go up to a 3/8" bit to get the connector through the holes and behind the light. Make sure you drill where the wire can come up behind the light fixture and not impede the 3 housing retaining screws. Then when I was almost done, the left (and LAST!) corner piece simply would not fit. I had to slightly enlarge the exisiting holes that the 2 screws feed through to get the protruding stem to line up and fit. Then the piece went flush as it is supposed to fit. I opted to have a real Honda service guy with splicing and soldering in the lights on each side vice the snap clips. I was told that this is a much better install method to prevent shorting. I took my time and it took me several hours to accomplish. I repeat my opening line - these look GREAT!! |
