Centramatic Stainless Wheel Balancers for GL1800 Trike
ITEM CODE: CTMGW100-103, SKU: CTMGW100-103

Update review
Last week I drove up to Kentucky from Oklahoma and got caught in a horrible storm. Sheets of water were coming down. The road had rain grooves. Normally, my front end would be wobbling and I would be fighting to keep the handlebars stable. I wouldn't like to drive in that weather again, but having the centramatics installed along with the superbrace, I felt more confident on the bike. |

Another Great Buy
While I was up in Madison WI, for the Wing Ding, I fell across this product while checking out the bikes outside the show hall. Since I had already had installed the centramatic on the front of my GW 1800 MotorTrike, I decided to get some improvement for the rear tires. So far so good. I watched the install, which was very easy. After the show, I continued my ride for another two weeks. Bike handled much smoother. It also helped that I had the centramatic and super brace installed. But anything that can help extend the life a my tires is a welcome addition. |

Why did I wait so long!!
I've own GW 1800 Motortrike for six years and have ridden close to 44k miles. Most of the mileage is from long rides 350-400 mi a day for several weeks at a time. My neck muscles would become very painful from a long days ride. Ice packs at night became routine. I always thought it was caused by my helmet, which is heavy. While I was at the Wing Ding in Madison this July, I decided to get the Centramatic installed at the show, along with the Super Brace. After the show, we drove up into Minnesota for a week then back down to Oklahoma. What an improvement on handling. No more vibration or shimmy driving on rain grooves, great stability on the open road and no more ice packs at night. My neck pain was gone. And I wasn't as tired after a long ride. The ride was so much smoother. You have nothing to lose by getting this system but so much to gain. |

Product and Customer Service
I purchased this vest from Wing Stuff and a second set of gel packs from Glacier Tek. Put the second gel packs in a cooler which was being carried in my Rivco trailer. July of this year, I drove my m/c trike from California to Oklahoma on I-40 Hwy. The average temp was 98-113. The drove took me 4.5 days. I wore a t-shirt, then cool vest, then another t-shirt. The gel packs kept frozen and cool for at least 2 hours +. I swapped them out with the frozen gel packs for another 2+ hours of ride. They recharged very quickly and after two hours in a cooler they were frozen solid. The only problem I had was one of the gel cells started to leak. When I got back home, I contacted Glacier Tek. They responded very quickly. Sent me a set of gel packs with a UPS return sticker. I just expected one of the gel packs, not a complete set. This product lives up to it's name and I recommend this to anyone who wants to keep your core cool on those hot rides. |
F4 Scratch Resistant Clear or Tinted Windshields for GL1800

Upgrade my last review
First let me say that our comments do make a difference. I was contacted by the owner of F4 regarding my negative review on customer service. Turns out it was a misunderstanding when I contacted them back in April. F4 does care about its customers and the owner worked with me on getting a new windshield. After our conversation, the order was generated and shipped out by FED EX the next day. Its already at the location I requested. Thank you Don!! I am a customer for life. It's a great product. And for all of you that are thinking about getting an F4, you won't be disappointed. |

Customer service
I stand by my first review of this product. Even though it does get scratches. And I would an F4 replacement windshield. My rating is for the customer service. I called them regarding the scratch. Took them days to get back to me. They offered a discount on a new windshield but when I contacted them back about obtaining the discount for the replacement, I never heard back from them. When I do get a replacement, I will be purchasing it from Wing Stuff. Even with the scratch, it still sheds the rain. |

Great product!
I bought this item several yrs ago and I've been very happy with it. It goes with me on every m/c trip. Been through rain, wind and dusty roads. Its amazing how much stuff one can pack in this bag. Using it along with compression bags is the way to go. The trailer comes in handy just by itself for that wood collection for the campsite. Customer service is wonderful. People from Rivco are helpful and pleasant to deal with. |

I saw this windshield at the Tulsa Wing Ding (09).I was very impressed by the demo. Then last year at the Wing Ding in De Moines I had the 4" one installed. On my return ride through Wyoming, I could really tell the difference in handling in the wind and rain. Best investment I've made so far. |
