Centramatic Stainless Wheel Balancers for GL1800
ITEM CODE: CTMGW100-102,   SKU: CTMGW100-102

04.24.2010
Stainless steel - nice! I too purchased them from WS before the new stainless steel set came out from Centramatic. I am wondering if WS can arrange with Centramatic a free exchange for those that wish to have the stainless steel? Fantastic ride - super!

Ultragard Touring Luggage Rack Bag
ITEM CODE: BB4603,   SKU: BB4603

Finally got to use this bag on a 400 mile trip. Nice! Again, the entire top opens, it's expandable, has great pockets. This, of the three, is the bag to get (I have and have used all three - see earlier post)!

Centramatic Stainless Wheel Balancers for GL1800

I put another 200 or so miles on the wheel balancers. Yes - definately a difference and a smooth ride. As per my earlier review, you can hear the beads sloshing around a bit at slower speeds (

Centramatic Stainless Wheel Balancers for GL1800
ITEM CODE: CTMGW100-102,   SKU: CTMGW100-102

03.17.2010
Just installed (front and rear), along with new front brake pads. Put 50 miles on them this morning; the ride is very smooth compared to before the installation. I am still testing, but feel they perform better than just "good."

They make some noise - I can hear the beads slosh around inside the tubes at
As of today, I would say a good purchase. The "ride" itself is very good. I will update my post once I have more experience under my belt.

5 Pin Stereo Headset for Open Face/Modular Helmet w/ Boom
ITEM CODE: IMHS-G130P,   SKU: IMHS-G130P

12.15.2009
Bought two sets. Junk. Stay away from this one - I spent $150 on taking a chance. Don't waste your money.

I needed a new helmet, and always wanted an Arai. I just recieved an Arai with the J&M installation from WingStuff. Fantastic!

Midrider Luxury Seat Set for GL1800
ITEM CODE: PG29207

12.08.2009
I bought direct from Ultimate Seats long before WS began to offer them. Very nice seat - love the pan. Long rides are now enjoyable, and I no longer feel the "pain." Under the cover of the seat there is no plastic over the foam. The Ultimate site recommends the rain covers in case it rains (moisture can seep through the stitching and into the foam). Get the seat covers in case you leave your bike out or ride in the rain. Obviously very expensive. Would I buy them again? Yes. Yes again. You will have to decide for yourself if you can afford them . . .

So, so. Not the worst, not the best. If you are doing some serious touring, you will want some great sound. This isn't the solution. Not sure what is the solution - any thoughts?

Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers for GL1800
ITEM CODE: PRRBBB,   SKU: PRRBBB

Perfect! Yes - be careful while installing - follow the directions carefully and patiently (there is an extra and I had to use it)! This, coupled with Steve Saunders solution, is the bomb! Take a look:

Centramatic Stainless Wheel Balancers for GL1800
ITEM CODE: CTMGW100-102,   SKU: CTMGW100-102

11.07.2009
I ordered the balancers and will soon be putting them on my 1800. The finish is a bit rough, but not horrific. The rear balancer will be hidden. No big deal. The front balancers will barely be visable (I have chrome brake rotor covers). Again, no big deal if they perform as advertised.

I am not sure testing them while the bike is on it's center stand is prudent or altogether wise/safe. As for testing in this manner, the rear wheel assembly would basically be floating with only the swing arm supporting the wheel configuration. This doesn't/wouldn't seem to compare to how the wheel and it's assembly would react when on the ground supporting the weight of the bike as it's being driven down the road. Hmmm . . .

Certainly, using a car tire for a rear wheel solution is not safe (there has been a lot written and there is a lot of published evidence that would speak against this practice). In fact, my 1800 mechanic told me about an accident that killed the driver and his wife where a car tired was used for the rear. The driver apparently lost control around a corner, which is what is typically written about when someone elects to use a car tire and when an accident occurs . . .

In my humble opinion, the extra miles offered, etc., by using a car tire is not worth the risk.

Anyway, I am expecting a great experience with these balancers based on all of the feedback. Except for how they look, all of the feedback reading many different boards tells me that they are the cat's meow - I'll let you know!

Deluxe Luggage Rack Bag w/Rain Cover
ITEM CODE: WSRACKBAG,   SKU: WSRACKBAG

09.16.2009
Not a bad bag, however, IMHO I would purchase the Ultragard Touring Luggage Rack Bag, which is also sold through WS. The Ultragard bag has better pockets, including expandable side pockets, and you are able to access the main compartment though a zippered opening that fully opens. Otherwise, you are left with putting in and taking things out of this bag through a "slit," which is cumbersome. Still a great price and a good buy (I own both, as well as the Kurkyn - excuse the spelling!).

Ultragard Touring Luggage Rack Bag
ITEM CODE: BB4603,   SKU: BB4603

09.16.2009
Out of the different options of a soft bag of this type, this is the one to get. The main compartment fully zips open instead of putting in and taking things out of a "slit." Lots of storage, with expandable side pockets. I cut the front velcro down to better wrap around the trunk rack - the strips were too long. I may have to also cut down the side straps - they may blow in the wind and flap against my trunk lid/paint, which would affect the finish. Nothing big. This is definately a good buy at a good price (I have the other two soft bags of this kind). Good stuff!
