About:
50 y/o veteran of the Gulf War (Desert Storm). This is my third bike. Had a 76 Yamaha DT400, then a 84 Kawasaki GPZ900 (sold that before going to Germany, big mistake!) And now this one.
Married to a wonderful woman with 7 kids (29 to 16). The bike ensures that we get some solo time without the kids. Feels great to be back on two wheels again!

Seat and Driver Backrest for GL1800
ITEM CODE: PG38577
10.09.2021
Ultimate Seat
I give this seat a 3 star only because of the comfort over the stock seat. I purchased the seat in 2019, and my bike sat in the shop for a year due to mechanical issues. I got it back 9/21. Took my first trip to Las Vegas and took a look at the seat and saw all the outer surface(not leather) had started cracking and peeling. Comfort wise it is a magnanimous seat, otherwise due to worthless material it sucks. Gotta get the seat recovered with better material. Ride Safe! |

Love These!
These are a great visual enhancement to the bike as matted up with The LED headlights and fog lights. When the turn signal is a activated, the amber color is bright and clear. Very easy to install. |
Centramatic Stainless Wheel Balancers for GL1800
ITEM CODE: CTMGW100-102, SKU: CTMGW100-102

I had a set installed on 2/13 by Wingstuff, along with a set of E3's. There was no minimum speed to achieve before they started working, it was instantanous. On the 40+ mile trip home I had the opportunity to venture into the upper speed area and found that even there it was smooth as silk. I will update this in 5 to 6 months to let folks know how they are doing. |
Stop & Go Tubeless Repair Kit
ITEM CODE: AP3080002, SKU: AP3080002

5 Stars
I purchased this item a copule of months back, after I had a flat on the road. If I would have already had this it would have saved me several hours of down time waiting to get off the road. This repair kit is something that should be standard on the bike along with the "Slime" air compressor. Overall, when I do have to use it, I am sure it will have earned all 5 starts. |
Swept Back Style Windshield Clear

They say you never know what you were missing till you have better! After installing this windshield and taking a test ride I instanously noticed the increased comfort from the wind. At 6'5" tall, this is a much recommended addition over the factory windshield. |
12V DC GL1800 Fairing Power Socket
ITEM CODE: HO08U55MCA101, SKU: HO08U55MCA101

In addition to the one in the left pouch, I installed a second one in my trunk and wired it directly (with fuse) to the battery so that it is possible to have a way to charge more than one electrical gadget at a time. Again, should be a option. |
Utopia Driver Backrest for GL1800 2001-2017
ITEM CODE: UT18MC12, SKU: UT18MC12

Didn't know the comfort that I was missing! Excellent comfort. Have had 4 back surgeries, and this backrest (along with the driver floorboards) make the comfort level equal to the well broken in recliner we all have. Great looks and functionality. |
Kuryakyn Chrome Floorboards w/Heel Shifter
ITEM CODE: KU4038, SKU: KU4038

5 Stars
After switching from the stock footpegs to these, there was an immediate noticable rise in the comfort level. The shifter works great (my friends with Harley's love these more than thiers because of the one piece arm). The brake arm actually sits a bit higher than I am used to, but I will get used to the difference. The quality of the part is outstanding. Matches the wife's floorboards great. |

What can I say? These are a great addition to the back of the bike. One friend said it resembles an expensive luxury car. Looks great on or off. |

Before I added this set of lights the back end was basic and bland. These lights when off resemble the regular chrome moldings, but when the key comes on, "Oh, baby!" it is an entirely differently look. Agreat addition for any Goldwing. |
