Kuryakyn Chrome Luggage Rack w/Rubber Inlay for GL1800
ITEM CODE: KU7151, SKU: KU7151

This is a good, strong, functional and great looking rack. I use the Kuryakyn luggage bag designed for this rack and they are a great combo. I agree with the other folks on this site: Assuring the exact hole placement is critical for this install. Not that hard, but check and re-check before drilling. A thought (not claiming to be exactly right on this one): This device is clearly designed for a greater than five lb load limit. I suspect there is more legal stuff that drive such a limit. Now my Harley is another matter ... The "tour pack" has fallen off twice when the vibration eventually cracked the support frame tubes, even though the trunk held only a quart of oil, a security chain/lock and a rag. As The Motor Company likes to say - it is about the "adventure." Perhaps for some folks. I have taken to chroming my H-D parts so I can find them when the fall off. The tour pack? Easy to find - it is on the end of the wiring that is pulling the darn thing behind the bike across I-40. Ride Safe, Ron "Hammer" Young "Until they are home ... " JPAC |

Highwayboards were the first things I added to my 'Wing. The installation is not a problem and the brackets have lots of adjustments. An installation tip: Set on the bike with your feet in about the right position while a buddy makes adjustments. Once you are dialed in, lock down the hardware. I have had some of the fasteners loosen; use Loc-tite and there should not be a problem I scrape the tips when doing tight street turns, but they have always folded up, no big deal. Love these things ... Hammer "Until they are home ... " JPAC |

I purchased two sets in Spring of 06. Installation is simple and they look great! However, during my annual 6,000 mile coast-to-coast-to-coast run I lost both of the mini-masts. The first fell off after about 4,000 miles and the second sometime between my last gas stop and home - found it wedged against my day bag and luggage rack. I have just ordered a new set - they look that good - but will do things not in the instructions: 1) install hardware with Loc-tite and 2) peen the threads. That should keep the buggers in place!

Kuryakyn Chrome Floorboards w/Heel Shifter
ITEM CODE: KU4038, SKU: KU4038

OK ... I see 17 ratings of "5" Stars and now you see mine at a lowly "2." Here is my take on this floor board/shifter set: + Look Great + Comfortable + Fold up - you don't have to straddle the floor boards when your feet are on the ground for extended periods (and is required to lower the side stand.) - The shifter sucks: - it can not be tighened fully - it rattles when underway - the spread between the toe and heel must be for someone with a shoe size smaller than a 11. (I wear a 12 - no room!) The Honda dealer advises me that they have not found a single person who likes the shifter. Folks love the floor boards and tend to re-install the original toe shifter. Not pretty, but better than having the heel-toe version fall off in the desert. I also ride a H-D FLHTCUI (Electra Glide Ultra Classic). If only the Kuryakyn could relicated that solid feel they would have a winner. Hammer "Until they are home ... " |
