Battery Tender JR 12V Smart Battery Charger

A Must Have if you store your bike over long periods!
I had to buy new batteries annually after winter storage until I bought this battery tender. I now leave it plugged in all year round and it has been 4 years since I've had to buy a battery! This product pays for itself quickly in reduced maintenance and peace of mind. I'd recommend one for every bike you ride regularly. |
Avon Cobra Chrome Radial Tires for GL1800

Ride hard, maintain inflation levels.
I've put over 100,000 km on my 2004 Goldwing and tried a number of different tires. The Cobra's provided by far the best handling for my spirited driving style. I have been able to get 25,000 km (15K miles) from the front tires and about 15,000 km (9K miles)from the rear. I went further on Elite 3s but the bike didn't fall into the curves near as easily. One caveat - you need to over inflate the front tire or it will cup. I put in 41 psi and the tires wear evenly and it reduces the low speed front end wobble. I'm currently on my second set and plan to buy them again. |

I previously rode on Dunlop Elite 3's and thought they were pretty decent, lasted well (19,000 miles). Based on a test drive on my buddy's wing, I decided to go with the Cobras. Wow - what a difference in handling! They stick to the road like glue, wet or dry. They also roll into curves very, very easily. I was advised to run the tires for 100 miles before pushing the bike hard. That was excellent advice - I initially had a tendency to lean too hard into the curves. I've put on about 1500 miles since installed 2 weeks ago. Wingstuff did a great job of delivering the tires to my mechanic's shop and gave me the best price available anywhere. Cupping comes from weak shocks - hopefully I won't have the same issue mentioned by others. |
