Premium AGM Sealed Westco High Amp Battery for GL1800 GL1800 Premium AGM Battery
ITEM CODE: WEWCP20L, SKU: WEWCP20L

Way Over Priced
I usually change out batteries every three years just to make sure I don't get caught out West somewhere when I am miles from buying one if I should need it. I have purchased several of these in the last 9 or 10 yrs and when I went to order again I saw where the price of this battery had increased over 40% in three and a half years. No way will I buy another one. That price increase is simply not justified in my humble opinion. |

Utopia Backrest
I recently purchased a Utopia Backrest for my 2012 Wing. I had bought one years ago for my 2004 Wing and been very pleased with that one. When I took delivery of my new one I was once again happy with the quality. They have actually improved the pouch behind the backrest itself and mounted it in such a way that is more protected from the elements. It installs quickly and easily. The key is to measure carefully before you cut into the seat. If you do that installation is a breeze. The directions are clear and specific to models with and without heated seats. I rode for 2 months without a backrest and missed it terribly. The Utopia is a quality product. |
Chrome Lower Front Cowl for GL1800
ITEM CODE: BB52608, SKU: BB52608

Limited Lifespan
I bought this product and installed it on my 2004 Wing soon after I took delivery in August 2004. I got 8 yrs out of it before I needed to replace it. I always kept it clean but I think the "chrome" finish is so thin that multiple cleanings tend to destroy the finish. I put another on this past October when I had my Wing triked and hope to get another 8 yrs out of the product. |

One other thing I might add from my earlier comments. As crazy as this sounds, try putting a tube in the rear. You would be amazed how that fact tends to quiet them down. As least it did for me. |

I've had three sets of Metzeler ME880 on my 2004 Wing. I don't think I will buy any more. They get great mileage but on ALL three rear tires they are so noisy after about 5-6000 miles. I'm putting on an old Elite 3 I had replaced with only 4 K on it and taking the ME 880 off just to get rid of the howling. I tried Avon tires years ago on an old Wing and got the same noise. It appears the better mileage the harder the rubber. |
