Sticks and Stones ?
These lights cost so much this is a no brainer, They really keep the big nasty bugs, sticks and stones from turning the lights into road debri, the stick on tabs don't look too bad in real life either |

Pathfinder red led 2012 gl1800
No doubt the Pathfinder RED LED bulbs are super bright, you will need to pay attention and plug these in and turn them on as a test before putting the bike back together again, reason, the tiny thin wire terminals are touchy, I will forever add dielectric grease when ever I take apart any connection or bulb, after I got my tail lamp back in I noticed that one of the bulbs was loose and it was not lighting up, back apart and I see the issue is the pathfinders don't really lock into position and easily pop out, the OEM glass bulbs are a tight fit, pathfinders are not, I simply used a small dab of hot melt glue to hold the bulb into the socket, I'm sure a dab of silicone will work too but you will need to let that cure, hot melt glue gets firm pretty fast and I don't think these will get hot enough to melt the glue out,sort of a design issue they might figure out soon, still worth 5 stars to make me visible ! |

Rear Accessory Light Plug & Play Harness
ITEM CODE: KU3230, SKU: KU3230

Long Term Operation ?
Sorry but I will only agree that this was easy to install but the fact that these are not weather pack connectors is a shame, Mounted behind the rear tire and these being blasted with water and road debri ? following the instructions and packing dielectric grease in them, covering all metal is not a long term set up for the long run, I ordered weather pack 6 pin connectors and will replace them now, If you have issues with any rows of LED's not working down the road look at these plugs for corrosion first, Sorry if I sound negative but for the price they should have weather pack connectors as new |
Black w/Smoke Lenses LED Rear Fender Tip 2nd Gen GL1800, F6B
ITEM CODE: KU3248, SKU: KU3248
02.26.2017
Long Term Operation ?
I really like the fact that these are bright and increase visibility, I installed the whole set including the fender tip and swoops on the side covers, I am a Technician by trade for over 30 years and I was disappointed with one thing, The fact that Kuri did not use weather pack electrical connectors on a harness mounted inside the rear fender behind the rear tire, Instructions and kit come with dielectric grease and advise to coat all metal pins etc, Sorry but in my experience that is just stupid ! It will at some time corrode and the light or lights on that plug will not operate until all the pins and connectors are replaced, I have ordered myself 6 pin weatherpack connectors and will replace them now before they rot away,No Problem if you never ride in the rain. Sorry but only 3 stars from me because of quality connectors, If your bike has these lights and some don't work, look no further than the harness connectors in the rear and replace them with weather pack connectors |

Vented Belly Pan

Almost a year and now for an update
Its been about one year since I installed my alloy pan, It's done a good job and taken the hits, I've removed it two times to hammer it back into shape which was no big deal, changed the allen bolts to hex because of damage too, but now I'm installing one of the heavy stainless units for added protection. More of a skid plate is what the bottom of my wing needs, I guess my riding in the north east on these cobbled up roads with high driveway curbs is in line with Baja quality roads ? Desert Sled ? Still think its a worth while addition, still give it 4 stars for saving my bottom end. |
Ergo II Highway Peg w/Mini Arms
ITEM CODE: KU4073, SKU: KU4073

A Must Have for Long Trips
I'm 6'1" and have a 34" inseam, the short arms are great allowing me to move around as the miles pile up, the quality is second to none,and the clamps are robust, I however don't have any problem dragging them in the corners, its the first thing that touches down, but I expected that, expensive ground feelers ? I still rate these at 5 stars for comfort and quality. NUF SAID |

Nice Look on the 2012 and Up Wing
I like the look and it has the same style as the tail lamp assy,It fits tight in the keyhole and I might have used a small file on the piece to loosen it up a bit but it just sticks right on. I like it ! |
Vented Belly Pan
ITEM CODE: BB52817, SKU: BB52817

Fits 2012 Perfect
Installation was an easy 10 min job,and the product is thin and light, good protection from rocks and grime,I would like to see a heavier thicker pan that might actually protect the engine case if I were to hit large objects but I suppose this would do fine by deflecting debri and taking the shot, its cheap enough and so easy to replace. I see value in that. |
