Centramatic Wheel Balancers for 2018+ Gold Wing
ITEM CODE: CTMGW100-118, SKU: CTMGW100-118
08.04.2022
A must have
I had a vibration in the front at 40 to 50 mph and the front tire started to cup around 8500 miles. Still had tread but handling performance started to take a nose dive. Bought a new set of tires and had these installed at the same time. Vibration gone and the ride is much smoother. |
Dunlop D423 Tires for 2018 Gold Wing
ITEM CODE: PG37882
08.04.2022
Good Tires
Bought these to replace OEM Bridgestones because everyone is out of stock on them and Dunlops. I'm not disappointed. Excellent tire. Don't have a lot of miles on them yet, but like the ride and handling. |
Homelink for 2018+ Gold Wing
ITEM CODE: HO08U77MKCA00, SKU: HO08U77MKCA00

Works well
A little pricey for a garage door opener (reason for 4 stars instead of 5). Install video made me uncomfortable, so had them installed by local Honda Dealer when I had the bike serviced. Easy to program and works well. Lot easier than having to search glove box for opener and then correct button. Like driving lights and SiriusXM antenna, should have been standard equipment on the 2019s and follow. |

Folding Flag Pole for 2018-2020 Gold Wing Tour
ITEM CODE: BB52-965, SKU: BB52-965

Works well for my application
Bought two of this and did not mount on the side of the trunk. Used the folding flag poles with a two "drilled out" (1/4" drill bit) Goldstrike mounts. Agree with others that flag is cheaply made. I don't think it would last very long. I'm using a couple of Propad flags. Works great and I can now put my full and half covers on without having to cut holes for the flag poles to fit through. |
XL Touring Gel Pad /w Air-Flo3D
ITEM CODE: ITXLAF0315, SKU: ITXLAF0315

Improved comfort
Bought this late in the riding season after a few multi-day rides that left me very uncomfortable in the saddle by the end of the day. Have done a couple day rides with it and definitely has improved seat time AND comfort. Doesn't noticeably increase seat height. Looking forward to giving it a try on some longer rides. |
Motorcycle Windshield Cleaner
ITEM CODE: FCF4CLNR, SKU: FCF4CLNR

Excellent cleaner
Have only used once, but works better than other cleaners I've been using. Good value. Should have purchased at same time I ordered the F4 windshield. |
Flag Pole Mounts
ITEM CODE: PG38334
10.27.2021
Easy install
Goldstrike states that these will fit any flag pole that has 1/4" mounting bold. Could not find one of those anywhere. The Goldstrike flag pole is not the most pleasing to the eye (my opinion) so I purchased 2 of the Trunk Lid Mounts (78605) kits and drilled out flag pole mounting hole to just over 9/32", then cannibalized a couple of flag mounts I purchased on elsewhere. Also, it's a little strange that I had to purchase 2 of the mounting kits to get 2 sets of mounting hardware when both the LEFT and RIGHT mounts come in each kit. Now I have a "spare" LEFT and RIGHT mount. |
F4 Scratch Resistant Windshields for 2018+ Gold Wing
ITEM CODE: PG37951

High quality windshield (20")
Windshield is as advertised; wider, excellent quality and does help with air flow up and over as well as on the sides. Install was very easy and quick. Maybe the easiest install I've done on this bike. The edges are nicely finished and my QA inspector (wife) did not find any issues. After a 20 minute check ride, I found that with windshield at same height as I rode with stock (raised enough to just see over), the wind passed over my helmet and there wasn't as much wind on my shoulders. At the same height, I do feel about the same amount of wind on my hands. The light tint looks good on the bike. I like the stock (20") height, but if you are a little taller, maybe over 6' or don't want to raise the windshield, you may want the taller version. I agree with others about the price, but recommend it as a quality replacement. |

Great Half Cover
Update to review: Just completed a multi-day trip and the cover worked great. Protected the seat, tank area, dash, handlebars and windshield in heavy rain. Seat was dry. |
