Great Grips
Easy fit and they look great. Heat takes a little longer to get through but it gets there. If you can't bear a little cold, buy a car. |

Sceptical no more
In over 30 years riding, I never could see what all the fuss was about regarding backrests and so for a very long time I have been quite sceptical. And then I bought one of these. Easy enough to fit, done in a half hour. At first, my scepticism was in full control and I didn't really think it made much difference. Then after about an hour it kicked in. I had not realised just how much vibration and how many jolts my back absorbed even on a short ride until I began to notice most of this shock was now being taken up by the backrest. Once I'd got used to the idea that it's not designed as a brace to be glued permanently to my back but more of a guiding hand, I adjusted it accordingly. The difference is amazing. I have always been impressed by the stability of the Goldwing but it just went to a new level. Acceleration is a new game as all the pull on the arms and shoulders is now gone. Before, I used to think that a backrest would be a bit of a hinderance in corners. Not so, in fact it actually helps by holding you still once you've got position and again, accelerating out is a whole new sensation. Would I recommend this backrest? You bet your arse I do! |

Pile of crap.
Two pin plug didn't match the one on the bike so had to splice these wires. Red stop light wire was actually the running lights. Brake light wire had no current at all and I ended up tapping into the brake light circuit directly for that one pin. Three splices to a plug n play harness is not strictly plug n play. So it's got one star because the other four plugs saved a lot of splicing and there isn't an option to give a zero. |

Great extension, easy to fit. I live rural so was often plagued by cow shit n mud up the front of the engine. No more, this stops the lot. |
Black Ride Off Center Stand for GL1800

I am absolutely amazed at just how easy this stand is to use. I used the standard method to start with and used more force than needed. The bike slid backwards about two inches it went up so fast. Using reverse while still mounted is by far the best way to use the stand. I actually think that left in reverse, it is more stable than the stock stand. My wife loves that she doesn't even have to dismount at the filling station and the ride off function is a dream. I can even have a kip on the rear seat now while she's shopping. Installation was a breeze and the trick with the washers in the spring was most welcome. Once I've mastered a technique for raising the rear wheel for cleaning and service, I'll be even happier. I can't imagine anyone regretting buying this product. |
