Excellent Product
Have had on my 2002 Wing for 15 years and it has never loosened or come off or sunk in the asphalt. Should be first accessory. |
F4 Scratch Resistant Clear or Tinted Windshields for GL1800

GREAT Windshield!!
I have had this on my 2002 Wing for 5 years now. There is not a scratch on it! I got the plus 2 size as I like to look through the top of the shield for extra protection. It is a little thicker than stock and much less flexible. Buy sooner than later!!!! |

Best and last battery for my Goldwing
I have now had the largest, SRLFX36L3BS12, model installed for almost a year. This is by FAR the best and likely last battery I will need or have for my GL1800. It has 540 cold cranking amps which is equal to or better than most cars! It is slightly narrower but fits perfectly with a little phone installed on each side that is provided. My bike sat for 4 months with no battery charger and fired up perfectly this spring. It turns over like it is on steriods every time. What more could you ask for except to get it for free!!!! (Remember to install the jumper bar before installation or the battery will NOT work. Batteries must be shipped this way. Read instructions!) |

Awesome
To the reviewer who wants to wear a hat at 45 mph: buy a car! To all others, I have had this on my wing for 4 years and there are NO scrtaches. I have the vented one +2 at the lowest position and it works great. Just dont get scared if you put it on in your garage with flourescent lights. These lights make it look like there is a colored oil film on the shield! Out in the real world it is perfectly clear. Just a reaction with the flourescent lights that was confirmed by the manufacturer. |

Poor fitment
This seems like a good deal for the money, however the front portion of the pan fits even worse than it shows in the picture. It does not line up with main pan at all and is very noticible. I just left the fron portion off..... |

Wasted money....
They go on easily and look OK. HOWEVER, they scratch VERY easily. You cannot even put on the side covers without scratching the chrome. Very soft. I just removed this weekend and went back to just the pivot covers and the "bare" frame. It looks better in my opinion and the frame does not sctrach like the soft chrome. |

Work Great!
Bolt right on with no issues on my 2002 GL1800. Took 10 minutes and only removed sidecovers to install. They look great too! |
Handlebar Riser Shims

Excellent but backwards!
I purchased these to lower my bars and they work great. I mounted them with the high side towards the front of the bike. The bike feels much more "sporty" and the position aids handling in corners. I am 5'11" and they allow my arms to go straight out and are more comfortable for me creating ever so little lean forward. I removed the black upper tree cover and left it off. I like seeing the triple clamps and tops of fork tubes. PS I purchased some blakc plastic hole plugs at Lowes to cover the bold holes for the handlebars and they fit and look great! |
Anti-Dive Fork Valve Shim w/ Screws
ITEM CODE: WSDVS, SKU: WSDVS

Must HAVE
This is a must have! Greatly improves fork action on stock or any level of modified forks. I have had it on my 2002 GL1800 in stock highly modified and now with Progressive Monotube kit and it allows the forks to work much better. The anti-dive was a Honda attempt to correct for the WAY too soft stock springs and lack of dampening in the fork. Yes fork, since there is only dampening in the left side in stock trim. |
Progressive Monotube Fork Cartridge Kit for GL1800

Good Return for the Money
Let me start by saying that I have over 40 years of riding, racing and building experience on over 30 motorcycles. This is about a 3-4 hour job if you are proficient with tools and your Goldwing. Be sure and put new oil in BEFORE mount back on the motorcyle!!! I had Progressive springs, 10 wt oil, fork brace with anti-dive shim in place and was pretty happy with the front suspension. Having put in the Monotube Cartridge kit now for a month I give it a thumbs up as an improvement. Consistent dampening with correct sag. The ONLY area that these are NOT better is over very small sharp edged bumps. They are not terrible, but not as smooth. I am happy over all with the improvement. DO NOT put in 2 preload shims. As a matter of fact, if I did not have to completely disassemble forks again, I would try it with no shim to see if theat helps the small bump issue. PS I dropped forks in tubes 1/2 inch for quicker handling with less initial sag and dive. |

LFX36L3BS12 - GL1800 540 Cold Cranking Amps Ultimate Performance
This battery is AWESOME! No matter which model you get you will not be disappointed. I got the largest. It has enough cold cranking amps to turn over most cars! It cranks my 2002 GL1800 like crazy. It comes with many pieces of very good adhesive foam pieices for fitment. The large one requires 1/4 inch foam on each side and then is a direct boltin. DO NOT FORGET to look at the instruction pictures and to connect the bar that enables the battery to function!!!! |

Good Deal
Good for the price! They are a snug fit. You need to cram in the corners and then they are fine. |
