Essentials GT Touring Cover

Love It
I had my old cover since 2019 and it still didn't leak. The elastic was dead and If I didn't hook the bottom eyelets with the bungee, it would easily blow off. I decided to buy the same brand this time and I couldn't be happier with it. The fit is snug, it looks good and it's lighter than the previous one. It may be compact enough to carry on trips. |
Bridgestone Tire COMBO for 2018+ Gold Wing G852/G853

Great Tires So Far
I replaced the OEM Bridgestones at 9618 miles as they were already down to the wear indicators. I was actually going to get the Dunlop Elite 4's but the front one wasn't in stock. I decided to go ahead and get the Bridgestones and I was pleasantly surprised. I just completed a 1,600 mile trip from my home in Nashville, TN through Georgia, Florida and Alabama and back home and the Wing has never ridden so smooth! I had a new suspension installed at Traxxion Dynamics in August of 2019 at 3,587 miles and it really improved the handling of the wing. I think the Traxxion Dynamics Suspension has a lot to do with the smoothness of the ride. It had the same tires when it was new and didn't ride this smooth. I'm hoping to get a lot more miles from this set. |

Battery Tender Plus
I purchased this as a replacement for the one I bought over 20 years ago. I had used it on several motorcycles over the years and it did it's job very well. My motorcycle was always charged and ready to go. I used it after long trips and every winter. It finally failed this winter and I had to replace it. |

Great bag liners!
I had originally ordered the cheaper bags but they did not fit. These are a perfect fit and even allow me to store a few tools. If it goes in the bag it fits in the bike. It's convenient to load and unload when traveling. They are well made but I think the $114 price is a little high. I still gave them 5 stars because I can take everything to and from the bike in one trip when I travel. They also make good range bags when I go to the gun range. |

Does Not Fit 2018 Goldwing
These will not fit the 2018 Goldwing. Other customers have pointed this out and Wingstuff is still selling them as fitting the 2018. I have requested to return them and I think it's a damn shame that I am responsible for the postage. Wingstuff should pay the postage because they are listing these saddlebag liners as fitting the 2018 Goldwing. These bags should be listed for older Goldwings only!!! |
Kuryakyn Chrome Luggage Rack w/Rubber Inlay for GL1800

Very Poor Chrome Plating
I have a 2006 Goldwing and I never put anything on the rack until I went out west in 2014. I carried my helmet on it and sometimes a sleeping bag. I always had a microfiber cloth between the rack and anything I carried. The chrome plating wore off quickly and there was a copper color under it. The chrome started peeling off and now the rack sits outside on a scrap heap. I have the holes in the trunk plugged up with clear sealant. I want another trunk rack but I would be forced to get another one of these for the holes to line up. I wouldn't waste my money on another Kuryakyn. I have seen better chrome plating on bathroom fixtures. |
