About:
Started riding when I was in grade 3 on a Honda Z50. A little later on rode a CR125, YZ125, IT185, XL500S, (2) XT500's and a DR-Z400E was the last dirt squirter.
I started riding road bikes in '04. The first one was a V-Star 1100, a year later an '05 Road Star 1700. Then one afternoon a good friend came over with a '98 Gold Wing that he had just bought. He said, 'You have to take this thing for a ride!' I said 'the thing is friggin HUGE!' But all it took was that first test ride and after that I told him, 'I have to get one of these!!' A couple months later I was riding a 2000 Wing and now own the '08. Love the way the 1800 handles.
My wife told me to buy the 1800!!

I just ordered and recieved 2 sets of these. One for my friends '03 and the other for my '08. We install them on the '03 first and my buddy went for a test ride. He came back and was very impressed to say the least. Saying that he didn't realize he needed them until now. No more wobble. We then tackled my '08. It was a little more work due to the nav. The shelter had to come off but not a big deal. Put in the Progessive springs at the same time. WOW what a difference!!! Should have done this upgrade long ago. It takes a while to complete the job but is very worthwhile. Take your time. |

I am epoxying key stubs into the knobs for easy access to the right pocket and gas cap. Will leave them in place all the time. Then I can just leave the key on ACC when filling and don't have to wait for the GPS to boot up! They look great!!! |

Installed one on my GL1500 AFTER the alternator crapped out. Worked very well, so just put one on my '08. Mounted it as suggested and tapped into the power plug inside the left pocket. Soldered directly to the female ends and clipped back together. Took about 20 minutes. |
