Trunk Carpet for 2021 Gold Wing Tour
ITEM CODE: WSGW2021TC, SKU: WSGW2021TC

Half the price for a nice item!
This carpet is really nice! Quality is top notch, and at half the price of Honda’s trunk carpet, this is the way to go! |
tailBlazer for 2018+ Gold Wing
ITEM CODE: KIT50W-GL, SKU: KIT50W-GL

Money well spent!
I installed these on my ‘21 Wing. This should be standard on ALL motorcycles! The flashing starts fast and gets slower as it completes the sequence. If this ever stops working, I will immediately replace it with another. I feel it’s that important! |
LED Brake Light for 2021-22 Gold Wing Tour
ITEM CODE: HO08U70MKCL00, SKU: HO08U70MKCL00

A must have item!
I installed the trunk on my 2021 non-tour Goldwing. At the same time I installed the rack and this brake light. A far as I’m concerned, adding another brake light is a must have item. It gives off a nice bright light. Better visibility, yes please! |

And then there was light!
Nice bright light for the trunk area. It was not a bad install because of Fred’s free video on this site. However, I installed this light and sub harness while installing the trunk and color kit. Otherwise plan on tearing apart the whole trunk lid. Considering that, along with the price, would probably make this a no-go for me if my trunk wasn’t being installed at the same time. |

The only option for the OEM look
This product, when used in conjunction with the trunk kit, turned my non-tour into a “tour”. It wasn’t a bad installation but I did break off a tab on the right side color panel at the bottom of the speaker grill. I used tried and true JB Weld to reattach the tab. It held up fine and is completely unnoticeable. The trunk looks great! The only thing I’m a little disappointed with is that there is no splash of orange to match the front end of the bike. I also added the LED trunk light, wire harness, and rear rack with brake light. It was a bit difficult meshing all of the separate instructions together so as not to back-track because of getting ahead of the steps. Instructions for the color kit installation and trunk itself are not provided with either kit. Apparently Mother Honda wants you to pay the labor rates at your local dealership. Searching the internet will provide results if you keep looking. |

The original OEM trunk
I converted my non-tour to a “tour”. The only part of the installation that was bad was tearing down the rear end to install the support frame for the pack. Instructions are not provided with the kit. However searching the internet will lead to finding them. |

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
ITEM CODE: BB52-939A, SKU: BB52-939A

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
ITEM CODE: SAH18-07-181BR, SKU: SAH18-07-181BR

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! |
