AirHawk R Air Seat Cushion
ITEM CODE: PG34542

Well Done
| I just returned from a 4850 mile road trip to the Black Hills. I purchased the Air Hawk right before I left based on the reviews that are written here and of course gave it the test of a warrior on this trip. This product performed as advertised and then some. Over the years on long trips there has always come a time where no matter how I shifted my bottom I could not avoid the hot spot. In ten days of riding and probably about ten hours a day in the saddle I never even felt a hot spot or any discomfort at all. This is a terrific piece of design work and something that any serious rider should own. Of course it is pricey and looking at it I still cant figure out why it is so expensive but at the end of the day the comfort that it affords is well worth the money...providing it wears well and lasts for years. Save up[ your pennies and buy one you wont be sorry. |
12V DC GL1800 Fairing Power Socket
ITEM CODE: HO08U55MCA101, SKU: HO08U55MCA101

Incorrect Polarity
| I have a 2008 GL-1800 and I like the item. It is a fairly easy install, however, the one that I received blew out two of my phone chargers before I realized what the hell was going on. It turns out as a result of some meter testing that the polarity was incorrect (not sure if it was the device or the motorcycle harness). It can only connect one way so there can be no installation error. Anyhow I was leaving for vacation the next day and so I just reversed the polarity on the power socket and was on my way. Working well ever since but I would not suggest plugging in anything expensive until you are sure it is working correctly. |
Kuryakyn Chrome Floorboards w/Heel Shifter
ITEM CODE: KU4038, SKU: KU4038

4 Stars
| Installed about two months ago and although awkward in the beginning I have grown accustomed to the foot position and quirks (kickstand deployment mostly) associated with this product. They are very well made and look great. Based on all of the other reviews I decided to disassemble the shifter side prior to installation in order to insure a completely free pivot of the shifter arm. I used some emery cloth on the pivot pin until it was free enough to move with out hand assist. I also reassembled with lithium grease to maintain smooth operation. BTW, the pieces that bolt onto the bottom are called deploy hooks and are used exactly for that purpose. When you need to put the board in the down position (you will do that often to deploy the side stand) instead of placing your boot on the chrome edge (which will scratch it) you should catch the little hook and pull them down. Four stars because I had to do some extra work to the unit prior assembly and as someone else mentioned at these prices that shouldn't be necessary. |
ISO-Grips for use w/OEM Heated Grips for GL1800
ITEM CODE: KU6183, SKU: KU6183
01.28.2010
4 Stars
| I have had these grips on my VYX and now on my GW. I love the way they feel (parrticularly with the throttle boss)and look. The installation was a snap. The only two negative issues that I encountered were with the control levers. First the larger diameter of the split grips eliminates the use of the two closest (smaller hands) settings for the adjustable levers. Second the heat transfer is poor. As one of the other reviewers mentioned even at the MAX setting the grip heat is minimal. |
Utopia Driver Backrest for GL1800 2001-2017
ITEM CODE: UT18MC12, SKU: UT18MC12
01.12.2010
5 Stars
| This is an outstanding piece of equipment. No ugly BARS to step over or for your passenger to deal with and a perfect match to the OEM seat pattern. Installation is really quite simple, HOWEVER, unless you are an accomplished mechanic or "very" good with your hands you should not attempt to install it yourself. I was able to install in thirty minutes but I have been a mechanic for forty-five years and even with that I treaded slowly. I would recommend this unit to anyone who is into long distance riding. |
