Kuryakyn Chrome Luggage Rack w/Rubber Inlay for GL1800
ITEM CODE: KU7151, SKU: KU7151

Let me first give Kudos to WingStuff. When I went to mount my rack, I discovered that one of the support legs was slightly out of round and would not fit either the cupped washer that came with the rack or the riser I purchased in a separate kit. By the way, the riser kit is the way to go. It spreads out the load and gives more room under the rack. One call to Wingstuff and the next day a replacement arrived. Fantastic service !! With the new rack in hand, I proceeded to install it and found the job fairly easy. The hardest thing is marking the location of the holes to be drilled. Take plenty of time to do this and be sure to have someone help. Check and double check, the holes must line up exactly ! Other than that, the job was easy and took about an hour. Caution: Be sure when replacing the screws in the underneath deck lid that you don't mix up the lid screws from the latch ring screws. The latch ring screws are slightly longer and will fit the deck holes but will deform the outside deck lid. I talk from experience. That was the only downside to the job, but it was my fault entirely. Take your time ! The rack certainly feels strong enough to hold more than the 5 pounds they rate it at. I bought the Kuryakyn bag that matches this rack perfectly. Item #4162 |
Luggage Rack Risers for GL1800

I ordered these together with the Kuryakyn 7151 trunk rack. These were a great addition. Add good looks to the mounting and more importantly spreads the load and raises the rack up for easier cleaning underneath. Highly recommended. |
Ergo II Highway Pegs for GL1800 Gold Wing
ITEM CODE: KU4056, SKU: KU4056

I agonized for months over which highway pegs would work the best. I did a lot of research and talked to a lot of Goldwing riders. I finally took the plunge and ordered these pegs as well as the shorter 4.5 " arms, which are really for the longer legged rider and not the shorter rider as stated on the product item. To state the obvious, highway pegs do not work as well on the Wing as they do on a full bagger Harley. The fairing simply is not designed properly to accommodate highway pegs, especially for the taller rider. I am 6' 3" with a 33" inseam. The only downside I find with these pegs is the directions are as clear as MUD! However, if you have some mechanical skill, you will soon figure out how to install them. They are adjustable to many, many configurations, so you will probably find something that works for you. The quality seems to be excellent, both in finish and fit. I will have to see how they actually work when I go on my 7000 mile trip out west this summer. Anyway, I think these are the best I have seen for the Wing. Be sure to purchase the extra 4.5 " arms if you are a taller rider. You will be glad you did. |
Short 4.5 or 6 inch Arms for Ergo Pegs
ITEM CODE: PG03443

I am glad I purchased these 4.5 inch shorter arms to replace the 6 inch arms that come with the highway pegs. I believe there is a misnomer on this website concerning the description that it is for those that want a shorter reach. The 4.5 inch arms are really for those who want a longer reach. I am 6'3" tall with a 33" inseam and these shorter arms make a much better reach for taller riders. They are well worth purchasing and really make the pegs fit much better for taller riders. |
