Centramatic Stainless Wheel Balancers for GL1800
ITEM CODE: CTMGW100-102, SKU: CTMGW100-102
They work
| Put these on the bike last week and then did an 1800 mile trip this week. They work very well. The ride was noticeably smoother. I was worried about what it would feel like at parking lot speeds and maneuvers because their website says they start working at about 12 mph. However, I didn't see any issue there at all. I didn't give it 5 stars because a mechanic mentioned that it may cause some issue with my brake calipers down the road since the rotor is shifted outward ever so slightly by putting these on. Now, so far, everyone I have talked to that has installed these tells me that mechanic is 100% incorrect, so don't let that scare you. If you're going to install yourself, the installation is easy. It was the first time I had removed the wheels on a motorcycle and I got it done by following YouTube videos. I also bought a Service Manual from Honda to make sure I got the torque specs right. I did not reuse the bolts that hold the rotors and speed sensors on. Honda doesn't recommend reusing them, so I didn't. I know some folks do, as I saw that in the videos. What I noticed was those bolts were not so easy to find. Had to go to 3 dealers before I found one that had them in stock and I had to drive two hours to get them. So, make sure you have them before you start your installation project. |

Extra Tall GL1800 W/S
| Bought this because my F4 Windshield is tinted and I wanted a clear shield for night riding. Didn't want to pay another almost $400 for F4, even though they are great shields. I put this one on and I love it. The extra two inches cuts out the buffeting. Put over 1100 miles on it riding to Canada and spent some time in pouring rain. I found this windshield perform every bit a good as my F4. Now, I haven't tried to wipe across it with steel wool like F4 does in their demos and I don't plan too. For that matter I wouldn't even try that with my F4. I'm completely satisfied and for 1/2 the price of what I was thinking I'd have to pay. |
