Chrome Passenger Cruise Pegs for GL1800
ITEM CODE: KU7016, SKU: KU7016

5 Stars
I just installed these Pegs. My wife is 5'10" and had problems stretching while traveling and would get cramps in her legs. We went on a short 200 mile jot today and she loves them. If your wife is unhappy then your life isn't good. I made alot of points installing these. Worth every dollar. Looks nice on bike and not in the way when stopping to put your foot down. Only problem was the through bolt on each peg needed to have a tap run through it because of slag when chroming. Can't go wrong keeping wife happy. |
Trunk Light Reconfiguration Harness for GL1800

I installed this loom when I mounted the trailer hitch and hitch wiring. You can't have too much light on the front or rear of a motorcycle so the 4 wheelers can see you. With the trailer behind the upper turn signals show up just fine. It was a little tricky getting all the wiring stuffed in behind the lights. |
Comfort Grip Covers

I love these grips. They give you a firmer feel on the handlebars than the stock grips and are a must have if you ride a lot. They installed very easily with a couple drops of dish soap inside the grip and then just twisted them on. I ride without gloves and haven't had any stains come off the grips after riding over 5 months with them. |

Easy install less than 2 hrs to install, the downloaded instructions were very helpful especially the pictures, the only comments I would add are, on my 2002 Goldwing I didn't loosen the mufflers as called out in the instructions, the forward hitch arms (with some slight outward prying of the side bag mounts) slid into there location. I Had to Grind a little off the 2 lower H bolts with a cutoff wheel because the bolts from the kit chafed on the rear plastic center fender. A very solid install. I pulled my trailer for the first time last week and everything tracks straight. |

I was getting a neck pain from bending over until I installed the tall rider risers. Now I can ride for hours without the pain. I'm 6'1" and the riding position is a lot better now. I installed these myself in about 1 hour. Trimming the upper plastic bolt cover took the longest to fit. |
Passenger Drink Butler No Armrest

I don't have arm rests so this kit was perfect. My wife and I used the 34oz cups all summer and found them to be very well made. Both hot and cold drinks stay hot or cold for hours. I'm glad we got the larger cups. |

My wife and I used the 34oz cups all summer and found them to be very well made. Both hot and cold drinks stay hot or cold for hours. I'm glad we got the larger cups. I mounted the drivers cup on the right side because I have a GPS mounted on the left. |

I didn't have a factory running light switch in the left panel by the rear shock switch so I mounted this power plug socket there. I plugged this into the wiring harness behind the the left box so it was switched on with the key. I mounted another power plug inside the box that I wired to be hot all the time so I could charge ipod or phone without the bike running while in a concealed compartment. |

I've had these wings on for a few months now and find them to be perfect for directing the wind away from your hands when cold and more cool air flow behind the wind screen when hot. |

Its nice to find a chrome item that's not plastic. I bought all the sizes and found that they install easily and dress up the various allen head bolts very nicely on any motorcycle. |
