Trunk Key Hole Trim Accent for GL1800
ITEM CODE: KU3219, SKU: KU3219
06.03.2011
4 Stars
| It's a nice piece of trim, but the adhesive strips should extend further out to the tips. I anticipate that one day I'll be washing the Wing and a fragment of my washer's mitt will snag under one of the tips and break this otherwise fine ornament. So I'm giving it a one-star reduction to four stars, due to lack of adhesion. |
12V DC GL1800 Fairing Power Socket
ITEM CODE: HO08U55MCA101, SKU: HO08U55MCA101

5 Stars
| Considering that Canada is a metric country, it was comical how difficult it was for me to locate a 30mm hole drill. 1.125" is too small and 1.25" is too large and I wanted a snug fit. Anyway, once the pocket hole is taken care of, the rest is a snap job. Great for all forms of electronics, but particularly those small 12V air pumps that come with the socket plug. No more need to clip the pump to the battery. That's a good thing. |
K&N High Flow Lifetime Air Filter for GL1800, F6B
ITEM CODE: KNHA1801, SKU: KNHA1801

| What a bugger to install. Suddenly I miss my old side mounted airbox. Suddenly I miss all those old, easily accessible airboxes. Great product, though. |
Gen 2 Chrome Fork Brace for GL1800
ITEM CODE: KU7339, SKU: KU7339
05.04.2011
5 Stars
| This fork brace plus the Centramatic wheel balancers has perfected the ride on my 08 Wing. I love the stuff that's blingy but also highly functional, like this brace. |
Centramatic Stainless Wheel Balancers for GL1800
ITEM CODE: CTMGW100-102, SKU: CTMGW100-102

5 Stars
| These balancers in combination with a Kuryakyn 2nd generation fork brace has transformed the front end stability on my 08 Wing. Handling was always acceptable, but now it's thrilling. I did not think there would be a difference, but there is. |
Power Sport Tire Inflator
ITEM CODE: WP40061, SKU: WP40061

| This pump is perfect. This summer we did Northern Ontario and the Lake Superior Cirle Tour and went into some remote locations everywhere from the Midwest to Nova Scotia. Along with Stop 'n' Go plugs and a Doran pressure monitor, I had complete peace of mind as far as tire issues go. In the mornings, when your tires are cold, with the alligator clip connectors direct to the battery terminals, you can do a quick adjustment if you need to. By observing the Doran monitor while you pump, you can get a perfect pressure reading before riding out onto those hot roads. I like these types of gadgets better than bling. Essential stuff if you really ride. |
Chrome Lower Front Cowl for GL1800
ITEM CODE: BB52608, SKU: BB52608
08.27.2010
5 Stars
| The price seemed very reasonable so I purchased this with the Show Chrome fog lights. The appearance of a chrome lower fairing and fog lights exceeds my expectations. I was worried that the look wouldn't work on a metallic silver Wing, but I needn't have worried. It's a great look and, importantly, the combo creates a lot of flash visibility to catch the eyes of distracted car drivers. So long as the lower portion does not pit and flake from the impact of road debris flying off the front tire, I'll be happy. |

| Yep. They spark. All six of them. As Martha Stewart said: "That's a good thing." |
5 Pin Stereo Headset for Open Face/Modular Helmet w/ Boom
ITEM CODE: IMHS-G130P, SKU: IMHS-G130P

5 Stars
| I bought this set over a year ago then forgot about it. I recently installed it in an Arai Quantum helmet I've owned for years. Just got back from a 2000K run and I can honestly say that it is the best sounding headset I have ever owned. I recenly bought a Nolan flip up helmet with J&M Elite installed. This inexpensive set in the Arai sounds much much better than the Nolan combo. Highly recommended. |
Power Sport Tire Inflator
ITEM CODE: WP40061, SKU: WP40061
05.19.2010
5 Stars
| A nice little pump. The alligator clips allow for an effortless connection to the battery. Probably not much good on its own if you're in the middle of nowhere, but if you also take along a Stop & Go tire plugger you just might avoid your "Deliverance" movie moment. |
ITEM: KU7109
05.19.2010
5 Stars
| Nearly essential if you have the floorboards, but I think it would be an unsightly piece of bling on its own. Having just installed it with the boards and the chrome sidestand, it doesn't look like it will create a new scraping hazard. I'm pretty sure that it will not be the lowest point of contact on a good lean. |
Chrome Wide Kickstand for Gold Wing
ITEM CODE: KU7104, SKU: KU7104
05.19.2010
5 Stars
| Bigfoot good! Bigfoot shiny! Easy fit! Bike no tipple standing in dirt! (The Kuryakyn floorboards plus this item plus the kickstand extension arm is a nice trio.) |
