Glockman-Wingman
About:
I retired from the Air Force in 1997 after 23 years active duty, 10 enlisted and 13 commissioned.
I've been riding since 1969 and have always owned Hondas, from the 350 street bike I bought new for $350 to the new GL1800 I picked up in April.
My wife was an occasional passenger on my 1100 Sabre, but adorns my 'Wing regularly.
One good thing about high gas prices: we're seeing more bikes on the road!

| Absolutely love mine, but must include caveat: as pointed out by a local helmet dealer, modifying a helmet could affect safety or DOT rating. I'm personally satisfied that it works well enough that I put one on my helmet and my wife's. |
Magnetic Drain Plug & Final Drive w/Washer
ITEM CODE: WSPLUG, SKU: WSPLUG
06.22.2009
4 Stars
| I rated this 4 stars, not because it doesn't work, but because it may not be necessary. I bought two so I could use one in the motor oil and one in the final drive oil. When I pulled the final drive oil plug I discover that it was an OEM magnetic plug! (I have an '07 Wing.) Be sure you check your plug before buying this one for final drive oil... the OEM model is a better design that you won't want to replace with this one. For motor oil it's a great idea. |
HP4 Pro Performance Oil
ITEM CODE: PG03484

| I like this oil. It performs well, and if changed every 4,000 miles it should have little degradation in that time. Personally I prefer full-synthetic because it maintains lubricating properties and viscosity better than mineral oils. The advantage of this mix is the higher hot-viscosity, but it's those viscosity additives that leave oil first and you're left with 10W30 after a several thousand miles. So if you change according to the manual schedule, then I suggest full synthetic. That's what I'm going back to. |

| I like that they are rated at only 26db of sound dampening so that I can still hear my music, car horns, and sirens. They were a little small for my ear canals so I have to seat them pretty deep, but they are easy to insert, remove, and adjust. They work well, are reusable, and cheap. Can't ask for much more than that. I recommend them, even to those who wear full face helmets. |
5 Pin Din to 3.5mm Headset Adapter
ITEM CODE: EC03300, SKU: EC03300

| Such a great idea but so horribly implemented. When I plugged in my earbuds it nearly blasted my eardrums out! I turned down the volume to zero for a low, but distorted listening level. On level one, it's loud and distorted. Forget about any level above that. This thing is totally unusable as a headset adaptor. I opened it up to see if there was a short circuit or missing load matching resistor, but the whole thing was filled with plastic resin. |
Bridgestone Tires for GL1800 & F6B
ITEM CODE: PG02700

| Follow-up on previous review. I have over 12,000 miles now and have enjoyed these tires the whole time. Yes, I have some cupping, but so does my friend's Dunlops E3's. We bought our 1800's the same day and ride a lot together, but his came with Dunlops. When the cupping got bad enough, the wobble showed up, but only when I take both hands off the bars; not something I do often. Turns out the 1800 has a cheap front end, with suspension on one side and an anti-dive on the other. Replacing the fork is the answer, but I don't have the grand it takes to upgrade. So, for now I will replace my stones with new stones, put up with the minor annoyance, and enjoy the bike as is. For what it's worth, my buddy is replacing his Dunlops with new Dunlops. He really likes his tires, too. |

| Update on my previous review where I gave it 5 stars. I don't know what caused it, but the finished either tarnished or faded, but the color went from a nice uniform gold to gold with green streaks and some rainbowing effect. I had to remove it. |

| It's OK, but ShowChrome should have designed it to fit over the metal peg without the rubber. Had they done so, they could have made it a smaller diameter that is closer to the original. This puppy is about twice the diameter of the original and will take some getting used to, especially with boots. The awkwardness of the new shifter size and difficult installation put it down to 2 stars. I cannot recommend them. If you decide to get them, the necessary wrench is 2, not the 2.5mm called out in the instructions. I recommend skipping their dumb installation method and go with this: flatten two spots on the sides of the round metal peg base with a dremel, then drill a small indentation into each of the flat spots for the set screws (if you're good at drilling, you can just drill the spot using a punch to start). The shorter set screws will work if you don't go crazy with the flattening or drilling. When you're done it'll be rock solid, but I agree with the other reviewers that locktite would be good insurance. |
Spray Polish & Cleaner
ITEM CODE: PG00805

| I prefer the "Original Spray Cleaner Polish" cleaner for other surfaces, but for cleaning the bugs off of the windshield and other front surfaces, this is the better product. This will work well on the other surfaces, too, but the Original Spray Cleaner Polish is cheaper and works very well. |
Original Spray Cleaner Polish

| Like Protect All (related product), this stuff is the bomb! Cleans, protects, and polishes all surfaces from windshields to vinyl without leaving an oily residue or shining up flat black. I love this stuff so much, I never wash my bike, just use this. It even helps reduce the amount of dust that collects between rides. Big difference between this and the Honda version is that Honda put a fragrance in theirs and patented it. The manufacturer who makes the Honda version makes this one and it sells for half the price! Great deal! |
Oil Filter Wrench
ITEM CODE: BB4201, SKU: BB4201

5 Stars
| As the other reviewers have stated, this wrench is easy to use and works well. But what is not stated is that there is another tool sold by Honda that fits over the end of the filter and can be used with a torque wrench. I use this one, but if you want to torque your filter to specs, you should pick up the other one. |

| The instructions did not specify with a drawing or description just where this should be mounted. Based on our desire to hide the wire without drilling, we mounted the lights aiming down instead of up. In the long run, we were happy to discover that when they aim down, the chrome below it mirrors the lights and they appear as if there were two strips instead of one! Knocked off a star for ambiguaous instructions, but really like the look and safety aspects (they flash with the turn signal!). |
