Black Anodized Sidestand Pad

Ugh
Ordered this and received about a year ago. Went on in a jiffy and worked great, until, this past Saturday. They put the set screw on the wrong side as anyone that does twisties will tell you, you are going to scrape the boards and whatnot. With the larger stand pad it is the first this to touch and wears out the set screw then the dammed thing falls off. Luckily for me, it fell off in front of my garage after a full day of riding in the mountains. I`m going to try to drill into it to add another set screw from the other side. If it had been manufactures that way in the first place I and likely several others would have this issue. Poor planning on Rivco`s part. |

Additionally, these tires are not yet available in Canada and you can't beat the Wingstuff price. |

Personally, I like these tires. Used the E3s for many years. There appears to be less rolling resistance although I find the tires a little nosier than their predecessor. After more than 3000 miles, I have yet to see any cupping. I had the tires installed, balanced and for double security, I have the bead balancers. Seems like a pretty good tire to me. |

This is a pretty good set of tires. Now a pair are less than I paid back in 2009 for this set. |
Kuryakyn Chrome Floorboards w/Heel Shifter

Chroming Issues
I absolutely love having the floorboards and toes/heel shifter but like everything else from Kury, the chrome peels after just 2 or 3 years. You would think that with what they are charging for the add-ons, that they would opt for a premium chroming process. I will have to strip down my bike and send to a chroming shop to have most everything re-done. |
Factory OEM Brake Pads for GL1800

OEM vs After-Market
Last year I replaced the OEM pads with aftermarket pads purchased at Wingstuff. After only about 8000 kms (5000 miles) they had to be replaced. Went back to the OEM for obvious reasons. They may be a little more expensive upfront but you don't have to replace them as often, thereby making it less costly in the long run (literally). |

The rear pads wear very quickly. Have gone back to Hondaline pads. They may be a little more expensive but last much longer. |

These are really well made flags that will hold up to a lot of miles. |
Performance Stainless Steel Belly Pan for GL1800
ITEM CODE: WS187416, SKU: WS187416

I wish they had this when I ordered the first belly pan cover. Original held in too much heat and made it unbearable on hot summer days in the deep south. Gets bad enough here. Drilled 1/4" holes in the old one. The louvers are a much better idea and will add integrity to the product. Great idea and easy to install in 5 minutes. |
Chrome Metal Valve Covers for GL1800

This is a very nice product. I added additional 3M tape to the top of the cover. Now I know it won't come off. Time will tell how the chrome holds up but it is on metal rather than ABS. Looks great. |
Avon Cobra Chrome Radial Tires for GL1800
ITEM CODE: PG23038

1 Stars
Bought these from a local supplier in Montreal. First 1000 miles were great. Terrific traction, great cornering, everything you would want. Blew the rear when I picked up something oin the Trans-Canada highway towing my trailer. By the time I got it stopped safely the tire was finished. Had a replacement installed which cupped within 500 miles. The vibration through the handlebars is truly a pain. I ride a lot of long distance on highways, etc and can't wait to get these removed. I really thought that Avon would produce a great tire having all their experience with crouch-rockets. 2 thumbs down. |
Chrome Passenger Floorboard Side Covers

Nice addition. You have to get these if you are chroming out everything else. It will complete the chrome effect on the side. Holes don't line up exactly so you will need a round file to make them a fit correctly. |
