Pathfinder LED Headlight Kit for GL1800/F6B
ITEM CODE: AOG18H7P, SKU: AOG18H7P
What a difference!
| I already had these as my high beams, so I knew what to expect which is a bright and white beam. When one of my low beam HIDs went out, I went with the Pathfinders as a replacement. If anything these are even brighter than the HIDs were, so in terms of performance I'm very satisfied.I did have to adjust the lights to the lowest position as instructed, but the hot spot is still a little bit high so I'm eventually going to change the mechanical adjustment. And I had a heck of a time tightening the collar on the connector between the bulb and the driver circuit box, but overall this is a must-have improvement. |
1" Aero Flip-Out Highway Pegs Anodized Silver for GL1800, Honda F6B
ITEM CODE: RIGL18003A, SKU: RIGL18003A

Outstanding
|
After riding from CA to NC and suffering from sore-as-hell knees, I knew I'd have to find a highway peg solution that lets me stretch out my legs. I'm 5'10" with a 32" inseam, fyi. My 2010 is very clean and uncluttered, so since I also didn't want a bunch of hardware hanging off the engine guards the Aero pegs got my attention right away. I ruled out the chrome finish because I'm not a big chrome guy and they were $100 more -- which BTW, I get; chrome adds a whole dimension of production yield and scrap cost. I was tempted by the black but some of the reviews said they turn purple after a while, and that would make me nuts. So I went with the anodized silver. For $300, these are a terrific value. They're made of substantial hunks of machined aluminum and the fit and finish are flawless. Even the feel of the swing out pegs is excellent, so the mating surfaces must be carefully monitored. The installation took me 15 minutes. The instructions are totally clear. The only thing I did wrong was that I was in a hurry to remove the stock trim and I bent one of them far enough to crack the chrome plating slightly. Damn. I learned on the other side. Apparently, Aero has made a couple of welcome improvements to the product: (1) they've cut a breakaway notch on the bottom of the pegs so if you do drop the bike, they'll snap off before damaging the valve covers, and (2) they are not offset anymore. At least not as far as I can tell -- my legs are evenly stretched out. I mounted the pegs in the front-most position. This allows me to completely straighten my legs -- the whole reason I bought these things. I'm certain this is going to make a huge difference over the long haul -- I'm doing a 4 hour ride this week and then I'll know for sure. If anything comes up, I'll return to this review and update it. So to summarize: they're perfectly integrated appearance-wise, the quality and engineering is obvious, and they've solved my comfort issue completely. I'm very satisfied overall. Great purchase. |
Chrome Dually Driver Replacement Footpegs

Update
| One minor addition to my previous review: I'm not a super aggressive rider, but these footpads do touch down on cornering before the stock pegs did. |
F4 Scratch Resistant Clear or Tinted Windshields for GL1800

It's Good
|
Now that I've had it for a couple of months I feel qualified to put something down. It's as good as they say. No scratches; crystal clear, despite my not being particularly careful when cleaning -- just plenty of Sprayway and paper towels. The height adjustment also works better than with the stock windshield. I don't have to rock the thing back and forth while pulling up. It just clicks up one stop at a time. Nice. I bought the standard height, tinted, with vent hole version for my 2010. I like to look over the windshield most of the time and I live in Southern California so the weather is cooperative, and I like the look of the tint and it's no problem at night. Installation was pretty straightforward. Maybe 40 minutes. Yes, the edges aren't polished but they are clean, and you should take your time applying the Velcro because it shows since the bottom of the windshield isn't painted. But it looks and works great. Another happy F4 camper. |
Chrome Dually Driver Replacement Footpegs
ITEM CODE: KU7938, SKU: KU7938

Looks Great
| These look really good, especially next to the Transformer passenger boards - a great match. Finish and component quality seems good. But, the foot position is perceptibly higher (and overall a more cramped seating position), and if you install it like the website pix, the reach between the shifter and the brake pedal is significantly larger. Now I need to position my foot so that the heel is on the peg to reach the shifter. I'm going to try to rotate them around to see how they look, or I'll spend more time to see if I can get used to it. Update later. |
Kuryakyn Passenger Transformer Floorboards for GL1800
ITEM CODE: KU7006, SKU: KU7006
05.11.2012
Springs and Balls Included
| The post-recall floorboards include all the necessary parts -- thanks Kury. But, since these floorboards are much heavier than the stock ones the supplied springs weren't holding them up properly; the left side wouldn't stay completely folded. So I tried, and ended up using the Honda parts anyway, especially the detent plates and springs which completely solved the problem. They look great, and my wife loves the choice of foot positions. Happy with this purchase. I hope they hold up (chrome and rubber). |
Performance Stainless Steel Belly Pan for GL1800
ITEM CODE: WS187416, SKU: WS187416

5 Stars
| Easy install. No problem taking off the lining (pull slowly and evenly). I appreciate the piece of mind on the added protection, and SURPRISE, there is a clearly noticeable stability difference when passing trucks. So it must also be better in crosswinds, but with the 60 mph gusts we've been having around here lately, nothing would help! |
LED Front Reflector Conversion for GL1800/F6B
ITEM CODE: KU7455, SKU: KU7455

4 Stars
| Looks great. Pretty easy install; took about 45 minutes. Hardest part was running the wires to the mirror locations -- I eventually took out the pockets and that sped it up significantly. DEFINITELY the red and green wires should be reversed from what the instructions say, otherwise the running lights would be brighter than the turn signals. For newer GWs, the optional wiring adapter makes it plug & play, plus you get an extra pigtail for additional lighting accessories (waiting for my Muth mirrors). One star off for the reversed wiring colors in the instructions, plus you do lose the reflector capability. These are lights only -- but they're visible in daylight, so not too bad. |
