If you're wondering if it fits the 2021
| I called Kuryakyn and they told me it wouldn't fit. My wife has longer legs than I do and has knee issues. She's 5'9". She's been tolerating it for a couple hours and then she's done.Not believing Honda would have re-enginered the framework of the bike (the 2021 has a much larger trunk), I pulled up the trunk support parts list for the 2018 and 2021 and they matched. I ordered the kit and installed it this evening a it works perfectly. It's way overpriced but what isn't.The plastic parts you see in the picture fill in the new gap under the trunk when it's moved back 4 inches. I thought this could possibly be a problem but it also fits perfectly.Install took me 2 hours. There is a main harness on the left rear under the hand rail, and a smaller speaker harness under the right hand rail. I just removed them and got easy access to them.You have to pull out the emergency trunk release out of the right side bag but it wasn't difficult, took 5 minutes. Remove the 4 Phillips screws, drop the tray, remove the single Phillips holding the long flat antenna and detach the pull from the front edge of the tray and there is a small plastic hook holding it down. After it's loose, pull from the trunk area by the silver box behind the seat. The grommet will come with it. Seal the hole with some electrical tape and reinstall the antenna and tray.The instructions have you attaching the new brackets, positioning them, temporarily reinstalling the trunk to check fit, pull back off, adjust, reinstall trunk. I just tighten it all and used blue loctite the first time and it fit just fine and even had a little adjustment room.... I'd skip the pull on/off/on, up to you though.The trim piece that goes under the trunk just slides and snaps in. Only tricky part is getting the front clips behind the bottom trunk lip. I took some needle nose pliers and put the nose of them on the front edge of the clips and just popped them with the palm of my hand one x one and it worked.That's it, not difficult, just 2 hours and ahappy wife, well worth it.I normally like the Traxxion guys video but he goes on about how moving it back 4 inches is going to unload the front tire. In his video he sits on the bike and tips back on the center stand. The center stands apex is well forward of the rear axle lol.... you can't convince me moving my wife a short 4 inches would be enough to lift the bike from the rear axle forward with the bike weighing 800+ lbs and me weighing 240 lbs in front of her. Otherwise love the Traxxion videos!ThanksShane |

Wife loves it
| The installation is easy but hard if you don’t have mechanical skills. Took me about 2 hours give or take. The directions are not so good. My wife loved our 2007 Wing and is not a huge fan of the 2018. Since I installed this she is able to do all day rides and long trips. Recently did a 2500 mile trip and she was very content. Check out what she says on my YouTube channel.https://youtu.be/nZ4lx7b1hY4 |

Happy Wife….Happy Life
| Bought a brand new Goldwing after having a cruiser for ten years. I was thrilled but my 5’10” wife was not a fan of being so incredibly close to me. Helmet bumps, and she couldn’t see ahead. We rolled the dice with this purchase and it turned out great. She is very happy with the relocator kit. Installation was pretty easy, |

$269.00 item, almost $1,000.00 to have Honda install
| My wife could no longer ride my 2018 Goldwing because the passenger space was reduced. This trunk relocator kit was to add 4 inches to the area behind the driver and the back rest and raise the trunk 1 inch for better back rest. Sounded like just what I needed. Wing stuff advertised the product for $269.00 and said it was “easy to install”. I am 73 years old and I don’t do my own install Only a Honda dealer. I went to three dealers. The first one would not do the install stating that it took to long for their mechanic to be tied up. The next one said they would give me an estimate, but would install it and charge me what ever hours it took. The third one said it would be a minimum of 6 hours at $125.00 per hour just to take remove and reinstall the trunk 3 hours each way. Plus what ever it took to install the brackets and reroute the wires. I called Kuryakyn and the tech said “so, what did you expect”. I said that I didn’t expect anything that was advertised as EASY TO INSTALL to cost $1,000.00 to install. I returned the item unopened |

Worth the effort !
| This mod took a healthy amount of time (2 evenings) to complete due to all the panels and connections that had to be dealt with. I expected this but was surprised by how little direction the instructions from Kuryakyn provided. I was glad to already have purchased the service manual so there was extra direction (and pictures) on how to remove portions of the bike that were not discussed in the Kuryakyn directions. Overall, the wife is thrilled for the extra space, added comfort, and additional room for getting in and out of the seat area. Very glad I made this modification! Be prepared to use the service manual, and that it will take time to make all the adjustments associated with this installation. |
