No More Stretching
I installed the "wide" version on my 05 GL1800 as I wanted to keep the stock width of the bars. After the installation, I set out on a 10 day 3300 mile road trip and I must say that they do provide a more comfortable ride. I think the biggest improvement is that you can actually set back against your drivers backrest in a more relaxed posture without that burning feeling between your shoulder blades when you ride long distances because your reaching for the bars somewhat when they are in the stock position. I'm 5'11" with a 30" arm length(armpit-finger tips)and my wing retains the stock seat with a Kury backrest. I really wasn't sure that I would get any benefit out of installing this kit, but I am now glad I did. I had no trouble during the installation with throttle cable or hose lengths. Everything went smoothly. You will need some small black "zip ties" to re-secure all cables/hoses as you may have to cut off any existing ties in order to move the bars up & back. If your using your wing for long distance riding or touring, and depending on your size, you may get a lot of benefit out of this kit or maybe not because everyone has their on personal preference on comfort. |
Saddlebag & Trunk Luggage Liners (Sold Each)

Pack it Up
I have been using this bag (I purchased the trunk bag only) on all of my road trips for the last two years.It has held up amazingly well and it fits the contour of the trunk exactly. The two large straps make it very easy to lift out of the trunk to take into a hotel or etc. It has a large capacity for just about anything you might want to put in it. Seems to be made very well with a durable zipper around the top. Highly recommend. |

What Wind?
Installed these hand wings prior to my 10 day road trip and was shocked on how well they kept the wind out of the cockpit area. A cinch to install and no more wind buffeting across the arms or base of the helmet. If you do a lot of open road traveling on your wing, you need these hand wings. I cannot comment on how the passenger area is affected as I have not rode two up since the installation. |

Only Way 2 Go
Very good product for the cost of these grip covers. Had no problem with install over heated grips. Heat from grips transfers with little notice of any difference from before. Very soft and comfortable during extended rides. |
Louvered Scuff Side Covers for 2001-2010 GL1800 Gold Wing
ITEM CODE: KU3913, SKU: KU3913

SUPER DUPER COVERS !!
While I agree with some of the other raters that the price for these "plastic" covers is excessive, they really do dress up the side of the bike. installation is a snap maybe around 10 min. to install. The chrome finish is very nice and seems to be a good quality job. Another plus for Kury is that they include some optional self stick mounts in case you want to install lizard lights or other back-lighting behind the covers. Highly recommend these covers. |

Great Suspension !
Installed prior to a 2700 mile road trip and I have to say that this is a GREAT upgrade in the front suspension. My wing feels more stable in turns and no more nose dives on hard braking. Very nice product. |
Motorcycle Tire Ceramic Balancing Beads

I'm a Believer !!
I installed the Dyna Beads for the first time on a new set of tires before leaving on a 2700 mile road trip and all I can say is: I will never use wheel weights again! My wing has never felt so smooth and no more low speed wobble when coming to a stop. I put 2 oz. in front and 3 oz. in rear. After my return, I closely inspected the tires and see no early evidence of cupping what so ever. I am sold on these beads!! |
F4 Scratch Resistant Clear or Tinted Windshields for GL1800
ITEM CODE: PG20048
08.28.2012
A Little Over Rated
I just installed a F4 +4 windshield on my 05 wing. It is a nice windshield overall, but I think it might be a little over rated. I really don't see that much difference in wind buffeting within the cockpit area and I think for the money this windshield costs, they could at least bevel and/or smooth the rough edges and also offer a blacked-out bottom strip to hide the edge of the dash. I doubt that I will ever purchase another one of these windshields. |
Performance Stainless Belly Pan
ITEM CODE: WS187416, SKU: WS187416

Peace of Mind
The installation is pretty straight forward and only took me 15 minutes to install. The belly pan is is quality made and fits well once installed. The reason I only gave 4 stars is because I feel this item is really only a peace of mind and/or "feel good" measure to protect the coolant reservoir plastic tank which Honda placed in a terrible location. I think all you really need to do is install a front fender extension to achieve pretty much the same protection. Now I have both, so I should be double protected. |
