GL1800 American 2pc Aluminum Belly Pan

Update. This is obviously a great idea and it does protect the undercarriage and vital parts exposed to road debris. I have a gash in mine which means it did the job it was intended for. The only downside is the fact that it retains the heat. It is a blessing when it is cold but when riding through LA & TX last summer it almost becomes unbearable. If they had had the louvered belly pan last year when it purchased this I would have gone for that one. You need to dispurse all that additional trapped heat. Go for the louvered ones. A fix is to drill holes ormake your own louvers. Still a great product and great idea.

I originally reviewed this belly Pan 10/1/08. I could feel a little extra heat then but it wasn't a problem, the temps were below 75. But now that I have ridden with the temps over 80, I must say the heat on my feet is an issue. My boots get very warm on the pegs so I must use my highway pegs to cool my feet off every chance I get. My wife says she can feel the heat on her feet an lower legs on the passenger boards when ridding in town. I have ordered the stainless steel pan with louvers to replace this one. I highly recommend you get a belly pan to protect the underside of your wing. Just make sure you get a louvered one unless you always ride in cool temps.

This pan works great, and very easy to install. The added protections helps to give you peace of mind. This should be a standard stock item on the bike direct from the factory.

The system works great, but so does the sharp edges.

Easy install, stops wind buffering from trucks and helps with crosswinds a little. Extra protection for the bottom of the bike from road gaters.
