About:
I've been riding since I was 21 and that's a lot of years ago. Mostly Hondas, this is my second Gold Wing. Had a '99 GL1500. Had some pin striping done at the Honda Hoot this year, so I'll get some decent pix of it when I get a chance.

| I wish I had known they were installing these at Wing Ding before I left. Anyway, found the ride to be smooth and stable. The handlebar oscillations were really bad after a new front tire install last fall. Had the balance checked when the Centramatics were installed, didn't find anything wrong with wheel balance. Rode to Des Moines and back with no problems. For some reason, when I load the bike and use the Tuff Linx case in back, the wobble all but disappears. Got to Des Moines and noted a great improvement in the wobble at low speed, better than when I left! Took the rider ed course doing slaloms and turns and all at low speeds without a problem. Did the wheel balancers contribute to the improvement? Perhaps, it's hard to say. Was the ride noticeably smoother? Maybe. Is it worth the cost? I'd say yes since anything that happens to throw off the wheel balance is automatically corrected. Need to see what happens as the tires wear more. Will update review after I've had them a few months. |
