Belly Pan for 2018+ Gold Wing
I installed the Belly Pan on my 2018 Gold Wing DCT Tour on Jan. 31, 2022. Directions stated that the front of pan could be mounted above or below the plastic cover but I was unable to slide the pan in above the plastic cover far enough to get the rear of the pan raised to clear the center stand and onto the rear mounting bolt, so I first installed it under the plastic cover. Had to make so adjustments to the preformed front brackets but when all attached, there was some space between the bottom of the plastic cover and the top of the pan which I didn't like as debris could get hung up there. So I removed the pan and made a slight upward bend in the front portion of the pan (just above the Wingstuff cutout) which then allowed the pan to slide above the plastic cover and clear the bottom of the engine. Had to use a flat screwdriver to help pry the plastic cover down on each side of the front of the pan so it could slip forward far enough to be able to raise the rear of the pan and clear the center stand in order to attach the rear bolt. Inserting the front of pan above the plastic cover also helps support the front of the pan as the two front aluminum brackets are a bit flimsy. Mounting the pan this way will avoid an object from catching the front edge of the pan. |

Easy to install. Looks good.
I have an ’18 Tour, manual. I installed the latest version of Wing stuff’s belly pan on 1/25/22. It was a fairly easy install, taking me less than 45 minutes. I watched Cruiseman’s video before starting. He covers the process pretty well. A couple of points have changed since he posted it. The front brackets are pre-bent. However, I still had to make minor adjustments on both sides. The kit now includes two washers and nuts for the rear t-bolt. This allows you to secure the t-bolt, with one washer and nut. You then slide the plate onto the bolt, and secure it with the second washer and nut.I have a few minor concerns:The printed instructions say that you can slide the belly pan above the front plastic cover, and push the plate up about an inch. I could not do that on my manual. To me, there was not enough gap to slide the plate inside. The brackets also hold the plate lower than the plastic cover.I’m concerned about the nuts coming lose while going down the road. You need to remove the plate for oil and filter changes, so you may not want to use Loctite. A nylon-insert lock nut might help on all three nuts. Lock washers may help also.Be aware that the nut, on the left side bracket, is pretty close to the shift linkage on the manual bike. (May not be a problem with the DCT.) You may need to adjust the bracket, to make sure there’s enough clearance. Just my 2cents worth. |
