About:
Started riding at 12 years old and have owned more motorcycles than cars. Certified Police Motorcycle Instructor, MSF Certified Instructor and have put well over 750,000 miles on motorcycles. This is my 5th Honda and in my opinion nothing beats or even comes close to a Gold Wing. Current riding memberships include The Blue Knights FL Chapter XXVI, GWRRA, and The Patriot Guard. I just picked up the new silver 2007 Goldwing shown in this picture approx. 45 minutes before this shot was taken.

Worse Battery Ever
I'm writing another review of this absolutely overpriced, overrated junk battery received nothing buy a run-around from this company. It took 4 months to get a replacement. Worse yet the replacement only lasted 9 months and same problem...dead! Please don't buy this piece of junk. Get your batteries at a local store so you can deal with someone face-to-face. I had my bike checked at a local Honda dealer to be certain I had no electrical drains that could be causing issues and the bike checked out with NO electrical drains. I have no had three of these batteries and NONE of them last PERIOD!!! Please by-pass this battery and anything made by this company. I really wish I could give a minus 5 stars |

Re-review
After a year with this battery I can now write a "re-review". DON'T BUY THIS BATTERY!!! The first battery arrived and wouldn't charge up..sent it back and received a replacement. The replacement battery died completely two weeks ago...almost exactly one year after purchase. It's been constantly on the factory maintainer every minute the motorcycle wasn't in use. This battery isn't worth 10 cents much less the ridicules price they charge for it plus you have to buy the battery maintainer desigNed for that battery. Again, you'll be better off going to Walmart and buying a battery off the shelve. THIS BATTERY IS GARBAGE...DON'T BUY IT!!! |

Look great and I would have given these a 5 star rating however there was one small problem. Kuryakyn put two right side pegs in the box and 0 left side. No problem right? WRONG! I called Kuryakyn after talking with Cameron at Wing Stuff who suggested they may have a left side peg they could ship out quickly to fix the problem. The first customer service rep (I now use that term VERY loosly about Kuryakyn) said they did indeed have a left side peg they could ship out to me but he would have to get his managers' okay. The manager(here in after known as the "idiot who should be fired") said that since I ordered the product through Wing Stuff/Cycle Giant they could fix the problem. It seems that Kuryakyn wants your money but is in no way interested in customer care (I'm fairly certain they have no clue what that term means) or fixing a problem that THEY created in the first place. He had no intention of seeing to my problem even though they had the part I needed and could ship it out. It was clear I was getting no where with "The Idiot" so I re-contacted Wing Stuff. Folks the apologies were not only swift but incredibly sincere. Cameron got an entire new set of the Switchblade Highway Pegs, checked the box himself to be certain there was a left side peg in it and had it shipped out immediately. Cameron saved the day for me. I'm not entirely surprised because thats WING STUFF folks. They know and believe in CUSTOMER CARE. Kuryakyn needs to send their people to Wing Stuff/Cycle Giant for intense training classes. I'll think long and hard before ordering ANYTHING that has Kuryakyn on it unless it comes from Wing Stuff. Well truth be known I don't order from anyone except Wing Stuff and this is why. I've spent thousands of dollars fixing up my beloved Goldwing and Wing Stuff is and will be the ONLY source for me. Thanks again Cameron you saved it for me buddy, hope you heal quickly and completely. Thanks Rick for a far superior customer staff than any other company I've ever dealt with, they talk the talk and then walk the walk. Hope to see all you guys at Wing Ding. 5 STARS for Wing Stuff/Cycle Giant, 0 STARS for Kuryakyn. |

Kuryakyn Passenger Transformer Floorboards for GL1800
ITEM CODE: KU7006, SKU: KU7006

If you have the driver floorboards these round out the look and they are great for your passenger. The passenger can change the position of their feet and stretch the legs out a bit which gives a great deal more comfort for them. Lets face it most drivers have a set of highway pegs to stretch out their legs so help out your passenger and give them the same comfort. Besides they look outstanding. |

Check out the video of this battery on the company web-site if you have any questions. This is truly a super battery. If it lasts as long as its suppose to then the price and features are well worth it. |

Price; Great, big improvement over the ones that couldn't be adjusted that were offered a few years back. They do work well however I don't rely solely on any of the mirrors for all of my information I turn my head to make sure, and as a motorcycle instructor I would recommend you do the same. I didn't give this product a high mark for a couple of reasons. #1 - the instructions are so small you need a magnifying glass to read them, and I won't even get into the stupid excuse for a picture they provide. Also there is a small piece of metal included that the instructions make NO referrence to at all. It took me repeated attempts to install before I figured out what that idiot designed thing was for and I'm still not sure I'm right. #2 - I hope whoever designed the mounting hardware for this thing got fired. They have no business making this so hard to install especially since they don't provide adaquate instructions. You absoutely must have a 1/4" boxed end wrench to put these on, without it forget even trying. I'm unhappy with the mounting design but happy with the overall mirror especially since they are adjustable. They are worth the price because as I've said many times in reviews safety is paramount in motorcycling and anything that enhances that is worth it...these are. |

I bought a couple of these. One to keep in my bike and one to keep in the garage for everyday cleaning. Works as advertised. If your going to invest in this windshield, do your a favor and buy thr proper cleaner specifically designed for that windshield. |
F4 Scratch Resistant Clear or Tinted Windshields for GL1800
ITEM CODE: PG20048

5 Stars
I ordered the +2 with the vent installed and replaced my 2007 windshield. There is absolutely no comparrison in the two. This is windshield is without equal in both quality and fit. I didn't experiance any problems putting it on and it is solid as a rock. Night driving is improved 1000%, you simply won't believe what you haven't been seeing. This is a product I highly recommend for every motorcycle out there. I will never ride without this windshield again. Buy it, you WILL see the difference immediately and you'll not be sorry. Install is relativelyeasy but takes a little time so don't get in a hurry, read the instruction carefully and you'll be fine. One tip however, you must replace the "tape" under the front nose cowl with the soft side velcro strips provided. I recommend buying a foot or so or additional velcro pieces so you can put more on than than provide to protect the screen inside the cowl. I did. |
