Chrome Passenger Cruise Pegs for GL1800
ITEM CODE: KU7016, SKU: KU7016
05.09.2023
The Wife Likes
Excellent, solid highway footpegs for the passenger. They seem very well built and simple. As others have noted I highly recommend to chase the threads with a tap before installing these. The chrome plating is applied after machining so the threads for height / angle adjustment and for mounting the pegs will have extra layers of metal making them tight. After chasing the threads with a tap (oiled) I had no problems installing these and the wife loves them. I am 5'8" and I have no problems with the pegs interfering with my legs at stops. |
J-Cruise II Open Face Helmet White
ITEM CODE: PG38815

Great helmet
I read a few reviews of this helmet and fully agree, it is a great helmet. The top vents are very effective, you can clearly feel the airflow. I have a long oval head shape and I always have pressure points at my forehead and back of my head. After measuring my head shape this was a primary consideration for me. Although it is advertised "Intermediate Oval" I would say it trends more toward long oval shape. Knowing this I feel the sizing is accurate as my head circumference matches the sizing chart (XL for me). The faceshield is great and easy to use as well as the sun shade visor. Very quiet with the faceshield completely closed. The shell is more solid feeling than the polycarbonate shell helmets. Very comfortable my first two hour+ riding trips. |

Great for K&N filter maintenance
This kit is great for K&N filter maintenance. The cleaner works very well. I have been using K&N filters in my motorcycles, ATV's, and other vehicles since 1985. |
Pathfinder Running Turnsignal Rectangle Driving Light Kit
ITEM CODE: AOGL18RFL, SKU: AOGL18RFL

Excellent Driving Lights
I have had these about 1 year now. They work great, especially with LED headlight bulbs. To me these are the best looking driving lights for the 2012-2017 GW. They light up the ground well and fill in where the headlights don't shine. I also have the Pathfinder LED headlights for my low beams. Good hardware and installation was straightforward. |
Volt Meter With Back Panel
ITEM CODE: WSVOLTMETER, SKU: WSVOLTMETER
05.07.2020
Great addition
Installed on 2013. I love the gauge, installation was not too difficult. Watch the clearance near the radiator and shroud. I wanted to share how I made the electric connection. I did not use the plug-n-play jumper. I spliced into the circuit that powers the backlight for the suspension and headlight adjust buttons. This circuit is live in the 'RUN' and 'ACCESSORY' position. I separated and re-used the included connector so my gauge is still easily removable for service. It is great to have a voltmeter to monitor the charging system. |
Deluxe Grey Half Cover for Goldwing
ITEM CODE: WSHALFGR, SKU: WSHALFGR

Good 1/2 cover
I am now using my second Wingstuff 1/2 cover. The first lasted me 4 years. I like the soft lining at the windshield and trunk. I use the cover almost daily during April - November here in Michigan. I cover my bike at work, so it is in use for 9-10 hours a day. For the occasional light rain it works good and keeps the sun off my seat and dash area. It delays the 'sun fading'. replacing the cover is a lot cheaper than the seat. |
Avon Cobra Chrome Radial Tires for GL1800
ITEM CODE: PG23038
02.14.2017
Excellent Tire
I am replacing the rear 180/70R16 on my 2013 Goldwing after 25K miles with the same tire. Excellent traction wet or dry. Improved handling over the OEM Bridgstones. I also had a set of Vipers on my previous GL1200, also were an excellent tire. I prefer the taller profile rear tire. No problems with this tire. |
