Works, but a bit stiff
I get the sense that the directive at Honda for the 2018+ Gold Wings was to make the tire valves as difficult to access as possible...the front is fine but the rear tire affords about a 30 degree angle of arc where the valve is exposed, meaning I need to roll the bike back and forth a few inches at a time to finally see it. And kudos to Honda for having the angle valves pointing downward when the kickstand is used - making the task of checking/filling the tires just that much more fun!So when I saw this extension device I knew I had to try it. And it does work (note - the flip lever that locks/unlocks the head to the valve must be pressed in the direction of the hose - it does not work in both directions as some bicycle pumps I have do).I give it 4 stars only because that very lever is rather difficult to flip into the locked position - particularly when one is prone and lying at an obtuse angle attempting to push the connector onto the valve all while flipping the lever. Perhaps mine is out of spec or something, but it takes an inordinate amount of pressure to lock it down. If they can make it such that you don't need two fingers to lock it onto tht tire, I would give this 5 stars. |

First impression - they work!
I just had these installed on my second tire replacement for my '19 DCT 'Wing at it's 24K service, and on the ride home from the dealer (about 250 miles) could already tell that the vibration coming through the handlebars was reduced (and frankly there wan't that much to start with).As to extending tread life, as sometimes claimed, I of course cannot comment - but as time passes if I am able to edit this review I will make additional comments then. But I will say the reduction in vibration to my hands will already be worth the investment. |

Improvement but wish I could adjust backwards
This is certainly a big improvement over not having a backrest, but I wish there were a way to get it moved back an inch or so, which would make it more comfortable. Still, it's far better than nothing. |
