Ultragard Touring Luggage Rack Bag
ITEM CODE: BB4603, SKU: BB4603

I still like this bag
| I wrote a review a couple of years ago, and the only thing I didn't like was that the forward attachments were awkward buckle and strap. I since started using those velcro type electronic cables velcro straps. Thread the velcro strap thru the buckle and leave it there. It is wide at one end so you wont lose it. When attaching the bag to the rack simply wrap the newly added velcro strap around the rack instead of fumbling with the buckle. I am currently in the Michigan upper peninsula and was caught in a harsh rain storm, thus reminding me of how much I like this bag. |
Clear Lens Universal 3rd Brake Light w/Run Option

EC Universal 3rd brake light w/run option.
| I installed this last year. I agree with the other reviewers, these lights are what drivers behind you will see first, they are bright. I did order the plug and play harness too, via a phone call to WS. The EC part# 08102 for 1800's, 08101 for 1500's. (you still need to connect 3 of the 5 wires of the harness to the 3 wires on the light, but you won't be splicing wires in the boot, the turn signal wires are not used. EC included harness installation directions were right on). I chose the clear lens and mounted it above the license plate since I have the famous eagle license frame. |
Utopia Driver Backrest for GL1800 2001-2017

| Second review, still 5 stars. I originally had a problem that the two bolts seemed really hard to bolt in to the bracket, so I used a die and tap to "clean" the threads. Don't do it. I since had the problem of the bolts loosening up from the bracket and the backrest would slop around. I got new bolts and re-mounted them. You only do this once hopefully, don't worry about the tightness of bolts when you wrench them in, it keeps your backrest in place. |
Centramatic Stainless Wheel Balancers for GL1800

| I thank all the positive reviews before me. I put these on with a change of tires(Conti's). I have been using dyna beads and switched over to these. If you use a tire changer and use the lube to slick up the wheel and tire to assist getting the tires mounted, I didn't want any issues with dyna beads sticking to the lube inside the wheel. Very smooth ride on back roads and the interstate. |
Motorcycle Tire Ceramic Balancing Beads

I added Dyna Beads on my 09 at about 5,000 miles in the oem tires. This bike has TMPS. Put the bike on the center stand, rotate wheels so the valves are NOT at 6 oclock. Deflate tires and remove the valve spring core. I used the supplied applicator tube on the valve stem, stuck it on the stem and poured some beads in. The other end of the tube, I had my compressor ready with an air blowgun and proper sized nozzle to fit in the tube and gave it a quick shot of air to blow the beads in, add more beads from the bottle and blow in some more, takes just seconds to get all the beads in. Put the valve spring core back in and set air pressure. Some people get a longer applicator tube at a hardware store and just pour in all the beads at onceinto the applicator tube, shoot beads into the tire with short bursts of air. I now have 13,400 on the oem tires. |

| FYI, I have a locally modified seat to where I sit back farther. As an afterthought, I called Utopia as my backrest is enroute. I was told I could have ordered the backrest with the vertical bar bent for my seat. The stitching on my modified seat, front stitches to back stitches where the vertical bar goes between is only about 3/4" wide on my bike. They told me how to re-shape the bar for my use. So if you have a modified seat, make sure you do a telephone order with Wingstuff and specify your mod so Utopia can send a bar bent accordingly. |
Ultragard Touring Luggage Rack Bag

| I just used this on a 4,000 mile trip, I used it for bulky lightweight items such as the wingstuff full motorcycle cover, rain gear and sandals. The forward pockets are tall enough to store 16.9 oz water bottles, sunscreen, etc. and are passenger friendly while moving, as are the side pockets that are axpandable from flat to about a 3" wedge shape for larger items. I used the rear vertical pocket for maps, there is a 6" x 20" mesh pocket on top of the U shaped main opening. The rain cover fits snug, no flapping in the wind. I personally would have used the velcro type straps on the sides instead of the strap and buckle fastening, but that's personal. I really like this bag and thank all the previous reviewers for helping me make the decision. |
