A nice pan!

This pan is well built, and spiffy. I am ready for a few gravel roads now, Alaska bound soon I hope!
P.S. I was tempted to leave the protective white vinyl covering in place due to it matching up with my white Goldwing, but then I realized I would either have melting white goo as it heated up with the engine or an insurance claim to file.
Bueno suerte!

Nice pan.

Nice belly pan. Very useful and gives a better peace of mind knowing the protection is there. I do wish the transition from the front to the back pan was a little more cosmetically pleasing.

Great Quality

Just installed this belly pan in ~10 minutes just like advertised, very easy install. This pan is made of a good quality stainless. I live in the east where the road grime can make a mess of the bottom of your bike. This will definately help!

A Must Have

Replaced an older aluminum belly pan with this stainless steel and was very impressed with the sturdiness of the SS. The old aluminum pan had a large hole in it from a large rock kicked up by the front wheel. Would recommend SS over the aluminum. If you don't file the edges, wear gloves when installing and be sure to take off ALL the protective covering on both sides. As mentioned earlier, these belly pans have slots (holes) rather than notches, so the installation bots must be removed to bolt them on. Removal and installation took less than 30 minutes. No problems with rattling, as earlier posters have noted.
Some say a belly pan helps with stabalization of the bike with cross winds on the highway. I can't address that issue, as I've always ridden with the pan installed.

Best investment yet.....

BIG Thanks to Don at WingStuff for this gem. Easy to install and one of the most important after-market items. As mentioned in another review, this should be standard equipment on a Wing. The first safety/mechanical feature a Wing owner needs to install is this belly pan.

good investment

The previous review said it all, well just about. Don't know why Honda doesn't include this as a stock part. Be sure to file the edges.

Easy add-on

Install was pretty straight forward. Went around the piece with a flat file to take care of any sharp edges, removed the plastic covering (on both sides), removed the four acorn nuts, pulled the cover away and slid the pan into place. Just remember to leave everything loose until you get the front piece into place and then re-tighten everything up.

As others have said, the foil that Honda wraps around the plastic tank doesn't offer much protection from an impact - now I have that much less to worry about. Nice product and per usual WingStuff is quick and easy to deal with. Thanks!

Another Goldwing MUST Have

This item is one that is a no brainer, The first words out of my Honda dealers mouth after congradulations was order and install one of these now, then had his goldwing mech show me his reason.. he ad 4 plastic tanks that were replaced / damaged due to "road debris".. no thanks, my pan went on that week-end and had a scrape incident 2 rides later on a rock from a dump truck... thanks for saving my hondas belly, I won't ride without one

Must have

When I bought my bike I asked about having one of these put on. Dealer said probably not needed. Guess what its needed. Little plastic res. doesn't deflect much debris.
