MOre light is a good thing
Very quick and easy to install. It looks great to have the extra light in the back. One of the leads from the light assembly(bulb) was too short and would not make contact in the socket. I had to slice the side of the lead guide so the lead could come out before the end of the guide and make contact. Otherwise I would give 5 stars. |

Great product. Heavy Duty. Matches OEM Cylinder very well. I got the Left Hand version. Installed on my 2012 very easily with no fluid leak at all. Wiring fit well in the handlebars. Power wires were long enough if you install an inline fuse at the battery. Ran wires from all 3 switches all the way around the bike to be ready for accessories as I add them. Currently wired to a pair of side lights. |

I had the Chrome version of these on my 2007 and loved them then. So I got these for my 2012. They go on very easily; easier than they did on the 2007. Keeps large hands from cramping holding the skinny stock grips. They should come as a set with the end weights though. |

Very nice back rest. Big improvement over those with the bars. I used a bamboo skewer first to determine the angle the knife should go in at. You can easily see it through the seat bottom when you get it right. Use a big serrated kitchen knife like they show in the instructions. I only had to plunge it in once, and the bar went in perfectly after that. Be sure to tighten the pivot bolts so it doesn't flop around. pouch does flap in the wind, Some small pieces of velcro at the bottom corners resolve that. |
Chrome Wide Kickstand for Gold Wing

I like this stand a little better than the other large-footed stand I had on my previous Wing. The picture does not do this stand justice. I was hesitant because the picture looks like someone welded a spoon to the bottom. That is certainly not the case. It's a very nice fully cast piece. |

Follow up review after a few months. The mechanism for removing and locking in the backrest is miserable at best. It failed and I had to remove the nut that I thought was holding on the locking flange, but after removal of the nut, the flange stayed in place. Great, now I can't get the backrest off. I was final able to turn the locking mech. after prying it out a little bit. On the other side, the mechanism just spins around completely with no stops. I have to say, as time goes on, I become less satified with the more expensive Kuryakyn products. |

I like the clean look of the rectangular LEDs. However, they are a darker amber than most of the other accessory lights. And the need to purchase an extra adapter for a 2006+ is rediculously lazy, and typical, on the part of Kuryakyn. |

I love 'em! My hands would cramp from holding the skinny stock grips. I was cautiously optimistic when I purchased these because of the implied mounting difficulties. They went on easier than I expected. Hint: when closing the clamshell over the rubber inserts, use a small screwdriver throught split of the clamshell to push the rubber inserts into their holes and the clamshell will snap closed a lot easier. I installed the throttle boss at the same time. Long rides are much more comfortable now. |
F4 Scratch Resistant Clear or Tinted Windshields for GL1800

I Love it! At 6'1", I was always annoyed by the wind buffeting my helmet. Got the 4+ and was very pleasantly surprized at what it is like to actually be looking through the windshield. And no more buffeting. Very easy to clean. |

I can only endorse what Tom & Doc have said. Great for the driver; can be annoying to the passenger. A must have for riding solo. The heavy chrome mounts are definitely a big plus. |

Nice, heavy duty, and good looking. Slight anoyance that you can not open the trunk without swinging these out of the way. Note that you will give up the holder for the passenger headset plug. |
