LED Honda Fog Lights Airbag or Non Air Bag Model Gold Wing

These perform well, and look great. It's perhaps a higher price upgrade than most, but the safety aspect made it worth the money to me. I do agree with those who think that they could possibly fit the cowl better. Doesn't bother me, though. As for the quality - it's top notch. Sturdy mounts, easy installation, and (thank you, Honda!) nifty interface with the low/hi beam circuit. |
Front Nose Mask for GL1800

From the start, I loved the look of the black mask against my titanium paint. Looking good is important, but... would it hold up? I've had this on the bike for eight months now. We've done numerous local rides, several to adjacent states, and one cross country. No signs of failure from any of the velco straps. I'm very happy with the product. Maybe you might come up with a similar design for the tank that includes a couple of storage pockets? I'd buy it! |

This is a nice convenience item for your passenger. My wife's only complaint: I kept the cup for myself! |
ISO-Grips for use w/OEM Heated Grips for GL1800
ITEM CODE: KU6183, SKU: KU6183

These are really comfortable. Look nice, too! I recommend the addition of the assist as well to reduce hand fatigue during those rides on roads too curvey to use the cruise control. One downside: I have to take them off for cold weather riding. The heated OEM grips just don't warm through. |
Centramatic Stainless Wheel Balancers for GL1800

This is a follow-up after putting approximately 13,000 miles on the bike (and the wheel balancers). The Good: - EXCELLENT handling. Really, really smooth ride. - I have happily had just more than 1/3 longer tire life (so far!!!) on the current tire. These are the same make/model as the previous set. I have 13,400 total miles on the tires, 13,010 were with the balancers. By way of comparison, the last set had to be replaced at 8,000 miles. That was still better than the 4,000 I got on the OEM tires. I think the current front tire will have to be replaced the next couple thousand miles, but I might get another four out of the back. The Bad: Sorry, too pleased with the product to think of anything. The Unrelated: Was hoping to get increased fuel mileage. Didn't get it. But, can't have everything, right? Bottom line: got some spare coin? Buy these! |

Good quality for the price. Really love the rain cover! I use it alone over our sleeping bags. One note: the bag doesn't fit well over the Kuryakyn rack. |

I'm usually a difficult sell on "gimmicks." This isn't one! I put these on my 2008 Gold Wing, then rode 6,500 miles. Great handling at low speeds and high. In an emergency situation, I had to swing onto a rough shoulder on a two-lane road to avoid a car coming at me head-on in my lane. Smooth onto the uneven tarmac, and smooth back. I also ran the bike over 100 mph on an empty desert in the desert (don't try this at home, kids!). No vibration or instability. Love this product! I expect I'll make up the cost through self-performed tire changes. |
