5 Pin Stereo Headset for Open Face/Modular Helmet w/ Boom
ITEM CODE: IMHS-G130P, SKU: IMHS-G130P

I like this set because ...
I also purchased the Vega XTA Touring Shorty Helmet (wingstuff.com) with zip on/off communication curtain at same time to install this headset system. The install was easy and the sound quality is really good. I took the advice of others and zip-tied the headset wiring to the helmet so as not to tug on the thin speaker wires with the lower cord. I do not foresee any problems and plan to follow-up on my review in two months. Overall I was able to purchase a helmet and com system for approximately $123. |
Utopia Driver Backrest for GL1800 2001-2017

Great Backrest
After the install, I can finally say this is a great addition to the 'Wing. I found it quite difficult to cut through the layers of the seat's foam padding. I must have pulled the knife out 10 or more times trying to meet up with the drilled holes for the bracket. Each time second guessing myself and worrying what hidden damage I was doing. Luckily all seems well but I was not pleased with myself. The support is amazing. This should have been my first or second accessory I put on the bike, it is that good! My wife feels the same way. It does not interfere with her getting on or off the bike and she loves the included pouch to hold her neccessities such as phone, lipstick, etc. (She took ownership of the pouch.) |
Passenger Drink Butler No Armrest
ITEM CODE: PG03748

Bought for momma ...
After purchasing the 20 oz Butler for myself, it was decided to go with the 34 oz for the passenger. I have the Honda armrests installed therefore installation required the 'Butler No Armrest' kit. I think it is a bit expensive and I do not care for how large it appears hanging off the side of the motorcycle. These reasons deduct one star from my rating. It was easy to install and seems sturdy. These cups are convenient and will make other 'non-Butler cup' riders envious. Just ask anyone that has spilled or had their drink blown out of an inferior cup. |

Installed on a 2010 model
Put the Add-On hitch on my 2010 Wing and I needed a third hand to pry (nudge) the brackets to line up for the bolts. I would recommend having a buddy assist because you need to be behind and alongside the bike at the same time. After one pinched finger while trying to manuver the long bracket to the saddlebag support, you will agree. Getting the bolts to line up was difficult but like in Ronnie's review, the hardest thing was replacing the rear fender. I had to spread the bags to get the holes to line up in the H bracket. I have a slightly wider gap on the left side adjoining saddlebag. Overall I love the hitch. It is out of site when not in use. I use it to tow my pet trailer or autolinx carrier. |

Wow, twice the price of the competion and no lights but ...
but boy are these worth it. Immediately people noticed these were "nicer" than theirs. Not that I gloat about stuff like this (ha ha). These are not plastic and are relatively easy to install. I wish the price was more competitive but I will still rate this 5 stars and keep my fingers crossed that I won't have to replace them for a very long while. |

Small Size Butler, Large Size Operator
I decided on the 20oz Butler cup for the driver position and I am glad I did! The cup looks large on the Wing's handlebar and I can't imagine having an even larger one up there. 20oz is a lot of liquid and I find that after consumption I have reason to take a (potty) break and the oportunity to refill cup as needed. With a 34oz cup I believe I would need an overflow tube. BTW installation was easy following the pics in the included directions. |
Rear Fender Chrome Trim for GL1800

A nice touch
Looks sharp but seemed a little wider then my fender. I cleaned the area as instructed and will be keeping fingers crossed that the tape installation holds. |

Outrageous price but I would buy again
I love the look of the emblem on the front fender. IMO the fender is too naked without something and this is the best decor for my bike, a little something without being overwhelming. 4 stars because it is priced too high but all the emblems are $25+ priced. |
Chrome Trunk Rack for GL1800 Gold Wing
ITEM CODE: HO08L42MCA100, SKU: HO08L42MCA100

Love this Rack
I love the look of this rack because it is not overwhelming to the size of the trunk lid. The size prohibits the use of item: Deluxe Luggage Rack Bag w/Rain Cover from WingStuff. Installation was not difficult as long as you measure twice, drill once, and don't totally rely on the template. A point deducted for the installation template. |
Chrome Scuff Plates

Nice looking but ...
Like others have discovered, the left side is working loose and they do not cover all the black plastic. |
