Passenger Comfort
Recently installed these Hand Wings on my GL1800 because my wife was absolutely unhappy with the tremendous amount of helmet buffeting she was experiencing at higher speeds. She is not a happy camper on the Goldwing because of this problem. My previous bike was a Yamaha FJR1300 and she was very comfortable on that bike even at higher speeds - no helmet buffeting. I'm hoping that this product does what it claims to do - minimize the airflow around the passenger's heads and shoulder area. Remember, a happy passenger makes for a happy ride. |
Mini Arms for Ergo II Highway Footpegs
ITEM CODE: KU4071, SKU: KU4071

An Absolute A Necessity
Forget about installing the Ergo II Footpegs without using the Mini-Arms if your in-seam is 32" or greater. Replacing the standard (and supplied) arms on the ERGO II footpegs with these mini-arms makes a world of difference in comfort. I disliked the long arms that came with the Ergo II footpegs from the moment I installed them. My legs were placed much too high and bent rather uncomfortably around the side fairing. I hardly used the highway pegs because of the unnatural position my legs were forced to assume. With the mini-pegs installed, your legs are in a much more comfortable and natural state when resting on the pegs. Consider ordering them with your Ergo II pegs and you will be a much happier rider. |
Ultragard Gold Wing Half Cover Gray

Great Cover
I just returned from a 1 month ride across the south- west. Love this cover. Its easy and fast to use when covering the wing. On two mornings when there was overnight rain, the bike seat, tank, front fairing and trunk stayed dry - the cover did its job. On several days we had fairly strong winds overnight which did stretch the tie-down elastic straps - I will be replacing them with stronger elastic before our next trip. I covered the bare metal tie-down hooks with electical wire shrink tubing. This worked well for about 3 weeks before the tubing split and fell off. Thicker tubing or doubling up will likely solve the problem. Overall this lightweight bike cover, especially for the price, is a great buy. |
Fred Harmon's Maintenance DVD Set for 2001-2017
ITEM CODE: FHGL18DVD, SKU: FHGL18DVD

Excellent instructional resource for anyone performing routine maintainance on their Wing. Fred demonstrates step by step, using common hand-tools and a lot of common sense, on how to work on your bike. For example, first watching the demonstration on how to change the air filter - a fairly complex task on this bike - makes the task much simpler and faster. The videos give you the confidence to perform work that you might be reluctant to attempt. |
Ergo II Highway Pegs for GL1800 Gold Wing

Good quality pegs. Although the mounting directions are not the best - take your time and the process becomes more or less intuitive. Before tightening the assembly to the engine guard, make certain that peg position is where you want it. I would recommend that the clamp assembly is moved as far forward on the engine guard as possible and that the extended arm be raised possibly 10-15 degrees from horizontal to ensure that the pegs don't scrape the pavement when leaned over and cornering. If they are mounted horizontally - AS SHOWN IN THE PICTURE - you will almost certainly contact the pavement when cornering. |
Service Repair Manual CD for GL1800 2006-2010

A must have for any goldwing owner. The CD allows you to print the information you specifically need to perform the work you are doing - no need to carry the entire manual around. The only drawback is that the CD can not be downloaded and copied to the computer hard drive. An added plus is that owner's manual is included on the CD and so the original can be left on the bike for on the road reference. |
Rear Fender Chrome Trim for GL1800

Fits absolutely beautifully to the fender. Use clamps to hold it place until the glue sets. Also, first dry fit it and use masking/painter's tape to outline the placement of the trim piece. |

Haven't used it yet and hope that I never have to. Having said this, it is a very sturdy, heavy duty tire repair tool. Will add a great deal of confidence on road trips. |

Compact,well built unit stored in a travel case with various power source adapters. It is not recommended for automobile tire inflation. Because of it's very compact dimension, it is perfect for motorcycle application. |

Installed these headsets - one in my HJC Symax II and one in my wife's (same type). The installation was straight forward and the unit fits the Symax II very well. The thin speakers fit perfectly into the helmet speaker pockets. The distance of the speaker from the ear is about 3/8'', which is perfect for quality sound. Very pleased with the quality of this product. |

Does what it is supposed to do. My gripe is that it takes considerable effort to connect it to the bike intercom terminal connector. My wife simply finds it too difficult and I, invariably, have to hook her up. Perhaps with use the connection will loosen up. |
GL1800 Honda Fog Lights w/ or w/o AIR BAG

Just installed these on my 2010 wing. Followed the installation instructions supplied and the installation was very easy. The most difficult part was finding the electrical connectors hidden in the various out of sight places. The goldwing service manual helps find them. The lights came perfectly adjusted out of the box. |
