fender accent & black medallion

Installed these tonight. NOT pleased. Didn't fit very well (2012 model)Hard to get centered and edges didn't match up.. Also installed the Kury Shark Tooth Fender Access. NOW that is TOP quality. I know that the first time I wash the bike the cleaning rag will catch on the front edges and come off. When that happens, I'll throw them out and get the "Kury" fender accents. Save your money, buy the Kuryakyn accents.

These mirrors will increase your visibility. Great safety addition and they look cool!

I did not notice the lack of black molding around the mirrors as did others. If you are asking if the LEDs will cause you a distraction, that is not the case, light that is emitting from the mirror is angled away from the rider and the brightest angle is toward the traffic; the person who commented on the lack of intensity during the day probably was looking at them from his riding position.

Installed these in about 30 minutes…getting the connection through the mirror casing took some time. At first you may think they will not install put angle the top end first and they will fall into place with a nudge at the bottom end where the screw will be reseated. I installed these on a 2012 GL1800.

Fades and Tape Falls Off

Granted we have a good amount of sun in NC but my cover went from Black to Ashen Grey in 60 days. OK... I can live with that but the seam tape came off in strips. About 25% has come off so far. On the plus side the fit is excellent and the straps are in good position. Good luck putting it back in the stuff sack.

Don't Make A Mistake

These bearing are worth it for stopping the low speed wobble and smoother handling on turns. I finally decided to replace the bearing on my wing and I was a little hesitant about doing so. Once I got into doing the replacement I found that I was not hard to at all, just take your time. If you have any mechanical experience you should have no trouble. The only draw back was having the stem nut socket to do the torque specification.

Smoother Ride

I installed these Fork Springs and was concerned about if different problems would arise being that I did it myself. NO PROBLEM, I did take the time to do some extra things such as all ball bearing on the spindle and check brake pads. No war stories, these springs went in easily and did not have to make any other adjustment to the hydraulics. The smoothness of the ride over ruff sections of the road was better than with the stock springs. Worth the money and time to do the work.

For Better or For Worst

I have had this set of tires for about 1,000 miles and they have handled very good in dry and wet conditions. Come May 28th I will be putting them through much longer test. When I return there will have been at least 5,700 miles on these tires (Pasadena,Tx to Maine, Canada, Michigan and back home). Then I will make another review which I sure will be a more actual knowledge than just assuming.

Great Shirt

This is one of the finest quality t-shirts that I own. It is a quality shirt that so far has held its shape and the colors have not faded any. Perfect shirt to wear during the day when the arms need protecting from the sun.

Works good until it doesn't

I bought this to get more reliability after having two OEM alternators fail. I installed the unit in 2009. It definitely charges better than the stock unit. But, the compu-fire failed and stranded me 250 miles from home on my last long distance trip - only 2 years and about 10K miles on it. This is actually worse reliability than the previous two stock units I had. I don't have lots of lights and run with the gel battery. I called Compu-fire and they said their units should last 5 years and admitted that mine failed "a bit early". Not much consolation after being stranded and now faced with the hassle of removing it, getting it repaired, and reinstalling it. So far for me the compu-fire setup has cost twice as much as stock and offers no improvement in reliability. I really don't care about voltages - I just want my bike to run when I need it. I could have bought two stock units and kept a spare for the cost and probably ended up with far greater reliability. It is easy to swap stock units on the road. Plus you can use the lower cost batteries with the stock alternators. I think the Compu-fire is basically a wasted investment for all those except folks who want to put on a light show or run heated outfits in winter. I will put the compu-fire back in after it is repaired and probably invest in a rebuilt spare stock unit to take along on long rides from now on. Maybe the repaired unit will last longer, but I will no longer assume the risk of alternator failure is less with the Compu-fire.

PLUG & NO PLAY

Opened the bag and found that one end of the black wire was loose and the pin was still in the connector... Made the repair, installed the device according to manufactures instructions.. PLUG & NO PLAY. I sent the unit back to Wingstuff who, as always, happily issued a full credit. Great Customer Service from Wingstuff..I have not decided to re-buy the item yet as I wait for more reviews from other buyers first...

Happy with Sena SMH10

The Sena SMH10 is a great product and has great speakers for music and a solid intercom range. I don't normally write reviews for products, but after seeing how the one gentleman posted 3 one star reviews because he couldn't figure it out, and had the sales manager of the company personally call him to get it sorted out.

It sort of speaks volumes to how good the product and support are. It is hard to believe people can be that angry, put on some reggae and go for a long motorcycle ride!
