No issues
| I bought these for my 18 DCT. I originally planned to paint them to body color match. Ended up just installing as they were shipped. |

Assembly and istallation directions could be better
| Maybe I was having a off day when I installed these. To me both the assembly and installation instructions were lacking in detail. Also no orientation markings on the actual deflectors as to front back or side. After watching several videos I was able to finally get them installed. I really like the look and I think they will do the job. Like I said maybe I was just having aoff day. Don't let this review stop your purchase |

A Must Have for us Shade Tree mechanics
| I in no way consider myself a motorcycle mechanic, but I also can't pay dealer prices for all the things I would like to do on my 2018 DCT. I purchased these because I needed to move my tour pack back to stock position. At the suggestion of my local dealer I paid him 300.00 to have it moved back 2" and that was a huge mistake with the Corbin seat that I have. It left my wife sitting on the outer edge of the seat which has a ridge on it. She was not sitting in the pocket. When I ask about moving it back his answer was " well it won't be any more to move it back to stock than it was to move it originally. That meant another 300.00. So I decided to buy these videos. Everything went as planned. No problems at all. I took my lap top to the garage and begin a step by step procedure following Fred's videos. in 2 hrs I had my trunk back to stock. I look forward to using these for a lot of my maintenance and accessory installation, |

True to its name!
| Just received and installed on my 18 DCT tour today. Mounted on the right side. Install was a snap and looks to be hood quality. The only negative that I see so far is this thing is huge. But i think it will work great. |

HIGH BEAMS DONE NOW!
| Just installed these on my high beams. (2004 GL1800) This completes the change over. I had oscillators on the original high beams. I removed them before I installed the pathfinders. This is a much harder installation than the low beams. I ended up taking the shelter off. Some more talented folks most likely will tell you that they can do it without removing the shelter. I also ended up replacing the air filter while I was this deep into the bike. I am not a mechanic and It took me several hours to complete the job. Now for the results. I really do like them. Much brighter and the light pattern seems to be wider. Not sure if they project out as far as the original or not. I recommend if you are going to do the change over I would do both high and low beams. |

FINAL REVIEW FOR THIS SET OF TIRES AT END OF SERVICE
| FINAL REVIEW FOR THIS SET OF TIRES AT END OF SERVICE Just replaced this set of E-4's. Mileage was 17,424 on the rear and 11,372 on the front. They were balanced with balance beads and the pressures were ran at 42 front and 44 rear. Riding consisted of a mix of mountains. ( I live in Maggie Valley N.C) and highway. Several trips of 2-3k miles each. On these trips I did pull a Bushtech trailer. I replaced this set with a exact replacement inclusive of new valve stems and balance beads. I would recommend them with the understanding that they will get somewhat noisy near the end of service life. The tires I pulled off were still considered safe but were down to the wear bars. |

UP DATE AFTER INSTALL
| Rode about 50 miles tonight after dark. These are definitely a improvement over the stock lights in my opinion. I would suggest that you watch a couple videos on the characteristics of LED lights before you change over. I plan on upgrading the high beams before spring. Also if you do change over I suggest setting the headlight height adjuster to low as this helps with the light pattern. |

Just Now Installed
| I just put these in tonight on my low beams. The install wasn't really that hard. This is assuming you have changed the bulbs before and understand the whole doing it by feel thing. I suggest putting the bike on the center stand in order to keep the retainer clips back during installation. I took a short ride afterwards. The light is brighter but I don't think the down the road projection is what I expected. I will reserve judgement until I can get some miles on them. I do think they will be more noticeable during the day. |

CHROME FLAKING OFF.
| I have these on a 2004 gl1800 that is always garaged when not being ridden. The work well and my wife does like them. The only problem I have with them is the chrome is flaking off and rusting. I have tried to contact Kuryakyn but as of the writing have not received any correspondence. |

Year Later Review
| These tires have performed well. The front now has about 12K and the rear has about 9k. I live in Maggie Valley N.C. and expect to change them before spring due to the mountain riding. I do think running the pressures at 46 in the rear and 42 in the front along with the balance beads has helped. |

Last update
| Got to ride about 150 miles today on the new rear tire. I've owned this bike since 06 and have put 70k miles on it. These are the smoothest tires I have had. Here is the thing. Run 42lb the front and 44-46 in the rear Also 2oz of ceramic balance beads in each from the very start. Just hope they last longer than 8k |
