Belly Pan for 2018+ Gold Wing

Protect your belly
Materials are high quality. That being said there is one thing that I did not like. The back bolt, which fits into a slot in the frame, was very frustrating to install correctly. The bottom of this bolt has a slot in it to thow the correct orientation. I do not have a lift to get my bike up in the air. So it was impossible to see the slot. It would have been awesome to have that slot be deep enough to fit a slowed screw driver into it. This would serve 2 purposes, it would be a good way to control the bolt and it would be easy to get it correctly lined up. I ended up using a Dremel tool and a cut off disc to cut a very shallow slot into the bottom of the bolt and that did the trick. The right side bracket was no problem. The left side is way to hard unless you take the side bottom cover off. Once that was out of the way, it was easy. One thing I was concerned about was that the left side bracket where it bolts to the engine guard was not sitting flush against the engine. Dont worry, once you tighten the 12 mm bolt to the side of the engine, the soft aluminum bracket arm will confirm and sit flush. I pushed the belly pan as high as it would go and tightened it. Be aware of your hoses that come out near the center stand... Don't let them get smashed between the exhaust pipes, slide them over towards the outter left side of the bike. Over all it's a quality product and I expect it to last forever. |
Ride Off Center Stands for 2018+ Gold Wing

Nice product but beware
I bought my 2018 DCT Touring with this installed. The guy I purchased it from was fairly short and smaller, he said he could not lift the bike on the stock center stand. I like the concept, it is nice to sit on the bike and then drive off when you are ready to go. BUT...I like to ride in the mountains and this stand scrapes the ground when you are into a tight corner with a little speed. I don't think the previous owner ever got into the twisties like I do, so he probably didn't know. I corrected this issue by cutting off part of the footer that makes contact with the road. I do not have any more issues with it scraping now. Again I like the drive-off ability, but I miss having the extra lift so I can spin my rear wheel to do maintenance or just to get the valve stem to rotate down so I can check air pressure. |
