A true long-oval helmet
If you have a long-oval head shape, you know finding a properly fitting helmet is not easy. I have purchased several helmets that feel great, but after an hour of riding, just plain hurt. This helmet is a true long-oval! After hours of riding, I still don’t get the forehead pressure spot. The build quality is amazing for this price point. Did I mention it’s a great looking helmet? Well, it is. The visor is wide and tall providing a fantastic field of view. For me, the internal tinted visor is just the right size. It doesn’t sit on the bridge of my nose like some other helmets I own. The vent design gulps massive amounts of air to keep you cool on those hotter days. Close the vents and it’s really nice on cooler rides or early mornings. The liner is plush and easily removable. It comes with a pin lock shield. I don’t use it, but it’s a nice feature. The only “negative” thing I can say, is that due to the shape of the lower helmet parts, I had to use Velcro to mount my intercom system on the helmet. I consider it a minor trade off. I would absolutely recommend this helmet if you need a long-oval. |
Tapered Seat Bolts

So simple, yet so effective
I seemed to struggle with installing the seat bolts. Always. These tapered bolts are a game changer. Tip: I found that by placing a piece of blue painters tape over the end of the Allen wrench its enough to make the bolt heads fit snugly on the wrench and they don’t easily slip off. I’ve lost more than a few fasteners into the Honda black-holes on my bike. These are so inexpensive and a huge game changer. I HIGHLY recommend these! |
Roadsofa PT Seat w/ Driver Backrest for 2018+ Gold Wing

Money well spent!
After buying my 2021 Wing, I couldn’t believe how uncomfortable I was on the stock seat. After 45 min I was shifting in the saddle and looking for a place to stop. I took a gamble on this Saddleman saddle. It took about 8 weeks for it to arrive. The pillow top looks a lot nicer than I thought it would be. The comfort difference is a HUGE upgrade. I can now easily ride 1.5 hours before I begin looking for a place to stop. The height is about the same as the stock seat. I think the biggest difference in comfort for me is that the top of the saddle is not made from one piece. The stock seat cover created a “hammock” which killed my tailbone. The Saddlemen seat is made with seperate pieces for the seat and the lumbar pad. This, along with the better foam, padding, and gel, make this a game changer for me. The back rest is very comfortable. My last bike had a Corbin seat and, to me, this saddle is far superior. When paying well over 20k for a bike - this is the type of saddle I expect it to have. Money well spent! |
