Follow-up to my previous review. I have been in contact with Shorai USA and they appologized profusely for the delay in getting back with me. After a lengthly discussion with a Shorai rep and gooing over my issue (fact finding) they sent me out a new replacement battery and so far (only 1 week now) it is working like a champ and my battery bugs shows the batter at 90% cranking power, much better than the 34% the original battery registered. So, as much as I would like to rate this battery with 5 stars I can (which it probably deserves) I give it 4.5. I will say one more thing about the Shorai Battery. It is well designed and extremely light. I'm now looking forward to many years of maintenance free battery life. I also need to give a shout out to Wing Stuff for calling me, un solicited, and asking if my issue had been handled by Shorai. Yes, Wing Stuff Staff does read our reviews. Not only that but Wing Stuff actually called Shorai on my behalf. What a great company and supporter of us Wingers. I give Wing Stuff 10 Stars for Customer Support. |

| I ordered and received the LFX24L3BS12 battery in July. I am not pleased with the performance of this battery at all. I have battery bug on my Wing to monitor my battery and it is reporting a cranking health of only 34% on this battery. I have contacted Shorai customer service and their technical support and I have not received a reply. For the cost of this battery I would expect better customer support. While the battery is still cranking over my Wing I am concerned about the reported carnking health. I have asked Shorai if this is a normal reading but like I said they have not responded to my repeated requests. I should have stayed with a traditional lead acid battery. |

| We have the switch blade floor boards installed and to be honest my wife hates them. Nearly impossible to open while on the road not very comfortable. These new Passenger Cruise Pegs are awesome - according to my wife. Very comfortable, she is now able to extend her legs and best of all she can open them while rolling on down the road. For me - extremely easy to install and they are visually appealing. Great addition for the co-rider |

| Picked this up at Wing Ding 32 in Des Moines. Mounted the pouch on my new Kuryakyn armrests. Wife wanged it on the right side so I needed to move the drink holder to the left side. Only needed to drill one hole in the bottom of the now right side armrest pad. Looks like an OEM product and seems to be functional. |

| Picked these up at Wing Ding 32 in Des Moines and shipped them home. I installed them myself and for the most part installation was straight forward. I had to slightly modify the right side pocket bracket because I had installed a 12 volt socket in the side of the right pocket. Chrome quality is typical Kuryakyn, high but not perfect. My wife is liking them too |
Kuryakyn Chrome Luggage Rack w/Rubber Inlay for GL1800

| Had put off buying this luggage rack for three+ years. Finally broke down and bought one. Should have bought one three years+ ago. Definitley makes the bike look even better. I installed the rack myself and it was a breeze. I would suggest using a cone or step drill vs. a standard drill bit (Creates less heat and makes a cleaner hole). The chrome was nearly perfect. I did notice one small blemish in the chrome finish of my rack. I also wish Kuryakyn would include thier own star washers with the rack. The small cone washers included with the rack are useless in my opinion. I thought ahead and ordered a set of STAR washers and they look much better and will disperse the weight mush better. All-in-all a great addition to my wing. |

| Just installed and it sure cleaned up my ball of wires under the seat. Very easy to install and works like a champ. Should have put one of these babies on when I first purchased the bike. |

| Just installed these and they sure make the trunk lid close tightly. Installation was very simple and straight forward. I used a step drill to cut the holes so no sharp or rough edges. Make sure you read the instructions and I must agree with the manufacture spit (saliva) does work best for the install. Honda should have something like this as an OEM from the factory - but I guess they cot corners to increase their profit margin. |

I have been running the Centramatic Balancers since mid July - I purchased mine at Wing Ding. I did the install myself on my 06' GL1800 with ABS. I'm here to tell you my bike has never been so smooth. Prior to installation I had some cupping on the front tire (was running E3's) and after a week with the balancers the cupping was completely gone. At that time I had 18K miles on my tires and I rode them for another 4K miles before replacing the tires. I had my mechanic (independent shop)ride the bike with the balancers and he immediately called and became a dealer. That's how impressed he was with the balancers. These are the single best investment I have made for my Wing. As the old TV commercial said - Try it you'll like it. As for the low rating given by Trev, well maybe he needs to first get rid of the car tire he is riding. Not only are car tires not designed for motorcycles, but they are dangerous in corners - do a search on UTUBE for Goldwing with car tire and watch the road level video - sobering to say the least!
