IMC Goldwing Helmet Headset With Cords
Rating:
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?
Honda GL1800 Accessory Rubber Baby Buggy Trunk Lid Bumpers
Rating:
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:

Good stuff!
Centramatic Honda GL1800 Wheel Balancers M/C or Trike IN STOCK click to see video
Rating:
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!
Kuryakyn Convertible Luggage Rack Bag Black or Blk/Gray
Rating:
Oh - if you purchase this one, get the black bag. The gray bag shows dirt, and doesn't look very "fresh" over time . . .
Kuryakyn Convertible Luggage Rack Bag Black or Blk/Gray
Rating:
This is an exceptional bag, but I would opt for the Ultragard Touring Luggage Rack Bag instead, which is also sold by WS. Why? Because the Kuryakyn bag's main comparment doesnt fully open. Instead, you are left with putting things in and pulling things out of the main compartment through a zippered "slit," which is cumbersome and inconvenient. The Ultragard's main compartment can be accessed by fully opening the top of the bag (zippered), and by comparison, has expandable side pockets, more pockets, is bigger, but not too big, and is better designed. I will say, however, that the Kuryakyn bag has a better attachment system to the trunk lid, and a more rigid bottom compared to the UltraGard. Not a big deal. I would still opt for the Ultragard.
Deluxe Luggage Rack Bag w/Rain Cover SUPER SALE
Rating:
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
Rating:
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!

Yup - nice.
GL1800 Hondaline Gold Wing Accessories Saddlebag Cooler

Nice. Perfect.
Spectro Platinum 4 Full Synthetic Oil
Rating:
Bought this oil, then read the boards. Poor reviews. Nope. I am going to see if I can ship this stuff back to WingStuff. Waste of money. Use Honda HP4 Pro Honda Oil, and change it every 3,000 miles. Can't go wrong ~

Great stuff at a great price . . .
GL1800 Tires Avon Cobra Radial GL1800 Goldwing Motorcycle Tires
Rating:
Had them installed and picked up my bike Friday night. Put 300 miles on them over the weekend. Bike sits higher, is more responsive, and the tires are more "sticky" then my E2's (I didn't care for the E3's). They stick, and you will feel it when you are at a standstill and try to turn the front tire. As I said, they are more responsive (in a good way), and you will need to give yourself some time to adjust. Great tires thus far - very nice! Get the 70's for the rear. Have them professionally installed by a dealer who doesn't use a "bubble" to balance them. Call around. Maybe some of the reports of "wobbling" are because they weren't professionally installed by a specialist, and by someone with the right equipment. Again, call and ask if they use a "bubble" to balance. If they answer 'yes,' have someone else do the installation where they balance tires with a computerized balancer . . .

Great set of tires - very quiet - very smooth - great traction!
GL1800 Sidestand Pad
Rating:
Nice concept - I didn't really like the fit using the set screw. Took it back off. Maybe I will attach it using some epoxy. Not sure . . .

Rating:
I ordered a few weeks ago and installed. I am having the same kind of problems as others are having. For the money, I thought I would be able to achieve quick and easy monitoring. Considering all of the problems I am havng with this unit, checking the air pressure with a guage will be easier. I hope WingStuff will accept the return. Not satisfied at all . . .
GL1800 Hondaline Fairing Pouch w/Logo

Just went through the Tetons, Yellowstone, Bear Tooth. Rode 1,700 miles. Not a problem - never worried about it. Great pouch. Very good quality. Very nice - handy.
Frogg Togg Road Toad 2pc Rainsuit w/Reflective
Rating:
Great suit. Packs small. Just toured Yellowstone, Jackson Hole, and drove through the Bear Tooth. This suit came in handy - kept us warm in weather that looked like rain where we otherwise would have been unprepared. Verny nice suit - buy it!
GL1500 & GL1800 Gold Wing Crush Washers 10 Pack

Just ordered a pack while ordering other "stuff." Should use a new washer each time - now I will! Thanks WingStuff ~

Mini Tire Compressor 300PSI from any 12V Source

Nice! Leaving for Utah, Wyoming and Montana end of month. This is peace of mind, along with a plug set . . .
GL1800 Magnetic Drain Plug & Final Drive  w/Washer
Rating:
Very nice! I wish WingStuff would offer additional crush washers, or sell seperately.
Zumo 550, 450 Quick Remove Locking Screw
Rating:
I have been using mine for quite some time. It is the only way to go! When removing the Garmin screw to replace with this one, there is a very small rubber o-ring that "floats" the screw, which disallows complete removal unless forced. Make sure the 0-ring stays in place for the new locking screw. Buy two and put one in your sock drawer just in case you should lose one . . .

GL1800, GL1500 2 in 1 Honda Oil Filter Wrench With 17mm Drain Bolt End
Rating:
Very nice, but doesn't fit the GL1800 Magnetic after-market Drain Plug. I'll still give it 4 stars - great filter wrench, and it fits the Honda plug just fine . . .
Kuryakyn GL1800 Gold Wing Passenger Drink Holder
Rating:
Nice, convenient, but expensive for what it is. If you have $50 burning a hole in your pocket, get it!
