Bridgestone Tire COMBO for GL1800 G704/G709
ITEM CODE: WSBRCOMBO, SKU: WSBRCOMBO

Great Tire
I have had Dunlop , Avon and one set of Bridgestones. The BS are the best by far in my opinion. Great mileage and handling from these things. As long as i own my wing ... these will be my tires. I pull a trailer 90% of time but i dont let it interfere with the way i ride. These things make for some great handling on wet or dry pavement. If you purchase these i doubt you will regret it. |

Time will tell if they are worth the money !
I have had these on my bike now for a few months with a new pair of BStones. So far so good. They seem to work but it will take time to really find out what they can do. At slow speeds you can tell ya got something going on .. until things get balanced correctly. So dont expect a silky smooth ride 100% of the time. But on the highway where a Gold Wing is meant to be... they do what they claim. Nothing perfect in this world ... but if they can save the rubber ... they will be worth it... good luck. |

Day One
I have about 115 miles on a new set of these as of today. I was riding on a disintegrating pair of Avon Cobra's that felt like they were shaped like a stop sign. So needless to say the ride now is better on round tires. I will give these things a few hundred miles and a few different road conditions before i pass judgement on them. But so far so good. They are fairly quite and for being new they handle very well ... so i am looking for that to even improve. We shall see. |

Kicked to the Curb
I have used three sets of these tires and up to this last set i would have sworn by them. I loved the tires. Right now i have approximately 7k miles on a set and they are trash... and i mean trash. I have pictures of the rear tire .. the inside of the tire is coming apart, huge bubbles all the way around one edge on the inside ... It looks as if the layers of the tire are separating and maybe the belts are coming loose. The front tire was looking bad also just not quite as bad. Now i dont know what the reason for this is ..but i dont like it. If they had some problem on a given day or with a certain person building these tires ... it could have cost me my life. I wont buy them again. So to all that do... good luck ... and be careful. |

temporary review
I have had these on my wheels now for approximately a month. Dont expect much in the way of correcting tires that have started the downhill slide, the cupping and irregular wear. I had to change tires today from Avon Cobra's to Bridgestones. Now i dont have the silky ride i use to have with a good spin balance, at least today i didnt and i was riding on some nice highway. Now i will give them a fair chance to see what they can do... BUT if they dont get any better than what they are right now .. they will end up at the bottom of the river. |
Grip End Weights
ITEM CODE: KU6238, SKU: KU6238

Something we all need at one time or another.
This things look great with the Kury ISO grips and color rings. Now lets face it....your front tire wont always be perfectly balanced and the weights on the ends of the bars sure help deaden some of that vibration on a long day. So may as well just go ahead and take care of it from the get go and never feel it in the first place.... |

Grips
My daughter got me these last year for fathers day and i just got around to putting them on since i had just installed some comfort grips about a week pryor to her surprise. I did need to purchase the weights for the ends .. and got me some colored rings also. Grips feel great even after 300 plus miles and they look good, match a lot the other acc. |

Vertical Hitch
Put this on my 05 Wing and no problem at all. Strong and secure. Took about 3 hours to do. I bought this back in the fall and downloaded the instructions from this site .. didnt have any problems. Just been waiting around to put it on... and since my trailer will be here in about three weeks i figured i better get with it. Cant imagine why anyone would want to pay more. |

I am on my second set of Cobra's. I have tried Dunlop's and Bridgestones. I will always choose Avon Cobra's for my Wing if i have that choice. They make me feel very confident on just about any road surface. I know everyone has his own opinion on things like this and thats mine. I will take the Cobras any day of the week. |

Both sides are basically the same , clean you panel good...tweak your new chrome cover to fit....peel off protective cover and stick it on. Take your time and do it right....you only get one shot at it. |
