All Balls Steering Bearings for GL1800 & F6B
ITEM CODE: TR416233, SKU: TR416233

Hello manly roller bearings, goodbye wobble
| I had these installed at the same time I put in monotubes. It's a bit more work but definitely a savings to get both down together. I'm sure glad I ran into them on the various forums and here, as I'd hate to have a new suspension with the same old wobble. I can't imagine NOT getting this done if you're doing any significant front end work. The front end now tracks rock solid. Awesome. |

| I don't know all the differences from the earlier generation, but I really like the stops so I'm glad I paid a little more and got these newer ones. It is just easier to turn them to the stop for full-on summer ventilation mode. These do make more of a difference that I expected, both closed and the good surprise for me is open, when I want MORE wind. |

Believe everything you read on the windbender site. This thing rocks. I am tall and had lots of turbulence / noise / buffeting with the stock shield. Problem solved. I was pleasantly surprised that the visual distortion due to the slight curve at the top of the shield is minimal. Plus, as they say, you're looking over not through. I like the comfort of my wing, but that's where I draw the line -- seeing the world through a windshield is for cars. I did not get the elec adjust. I don't know if I'll be doing much adjusting, we'll see. It can be a bit of a PITA to line up the cotter pins to secure the upper, but it is simple enough if, like I have done so far, you only want to slide it up a bit for a massive highway day. I'm sure I would tinker with it if I had the elec, but so far so good, plus you keep the ability to adjust the lower just like you do the stock windshield. |
Performance Stainless Steel Belly Pan for GL1800
ITEM CODE: WS187416, SKU: WS187416

| Really nice. Protection and/or piece of mind, may never know which one but now I've got both. A quick pass with a flat file takes care of the sharp edges. Easy install once I realized I had to man up and tug on the pipe covers and slide it forward before tightening (thanks, other commenters). This is very solid (once installed) for protection from kicked up debris, I think those complaining about it being flimsy are expecting a skid plate not a belly pan. One whine -- why doesn't this come with some of those required replacement fiber washers?? !!! C'mon, WingStuff, that'd make it 5+ stars. |
Handlebar Riser Shims

Kudos to Wingstuff for a good selection of three different risers, as folks will have their own needs. My problem was that I'm tall, grips were hitting my thighs when turned. Problem solved, these are GREAT! The other (more expensive) risers have more spread and setbacks configuration options but none of them move the bars up as far. That's all I wanted, and these deliver more rise at a fraction of the price. For once, I got off easy. The little plastic spacers go under the mouse ears handlebar cover when reinstalling. I suggest gluing them to the mouse ears so you or your shop don't lose them the first time you disassemble again, even if you manage to not lose them when installing. For those concerned about cables, don't be. At the mounting point, this is only raising the bars a 1/4" or so - no problem. Pardon the obvious (to some) - it works by changing the angle of the bars. |
