These speakers have a larger voice coil therefor, the sound output is better. They will not blow you away, but are a much needed improvement over the stock sound. They have a slightly larger and stronger magnet as well. The amp is plane-jane and will be hidden in the rear of the left side case. The amp comes with a plastic cover to block anything from interfering with the amp and connectors and to keep any heat produced away from items stored in that side case. Three holes are drilled in the rear of the inner side case and three 90* grommets are used to vent any heat produced by the amp. Two other small holes are drilled in the bottom of the case for mounting the amp bracket. The install is not very difficult, just time consuming due to all the panels that need to come off the bike. The hardest part of the install is tucking all the extra wiring away in the small area Honda designed for them to go. Overall, this system sounds better than stock but IMO not worth the $1,000 asking price. For the price point, Honda should have included some good quality 2-way speakers to really make this system worth the price. The cone speakers are working triple duty trying to provide the lows, mids, and highs. That's asking a lot out of a small 4" speaker. If 2-ways were included, the the speaker would be able to perform more efficiently and ultimately sound much better, louder, and crisper. I will eventually upgrade these speakers to at least 2-way speakers down the road. Also, same result as stock setup with front speakers being much louder than the rears. I adjusted the fade control to to the rear at level 4 to get equal sound front and rear. |

*** Updated 09-04-2018 *** With 15,000 miles on the tires... This is my second update to an original review I did on these tires. My wife and I road two up and we pulled a motorcycle trailer our last two trips, the last being 6,385 miles. The tires continue to perform without any issues. Handling and comfort, as well as wet weather traction are all great. Unfortunately, on the way home with about 120 miles remaining on our trip, I hit a bolt on the highway and it made a finger sized hole in the rear tire, almost instantly deflating the tire at 80 miles per hour. The bike felt squishy on the rear but I was able to ride about 3/10ths of a mile to a rest area. I put these tires on at 10,800 miles and had the flat at 25,800 miles, exactly 15,000 miles. I am certain I could have ridden another 5,000 miles with the remaining tread on the rear. As for the front, it still looks very good and I will most likely get another 5,000 miles out of it. For those wondering, I carry a spare rear wheel for my Goldwing in the back of the motorcycle trailer, so I was able to change out the tire and get home. I had a new Dunlop Elite 4 installed on the back and I hope to get 20,000 miles or more out of it. |

I purchased this hitch when it was on sale a few months ago. I finally took time to install it, which I eventually got done, about 3 hours later. Issues that I had: The instructions left out a few key points, they stopped referencing simple things like adding the clock washers and flat washers as you read through the directions. The frame mounted brackets took a bunch of "finessing" (with a hammer) to get the bracket in to the spot it needed to be in.. the "box" on the inside rail had to be removed to install the main mounts, then after I finally got the main brackets mounted the H bracket holes didnt line up completely.. the tolerances seemed to be about 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch, and that is simply not good enough to make an install easy. Lastly, my kit included 4 "extra bolts" that were not on the instruction list (or in the picture). It comes down to you get what you pay for... if I had to do it again, I'd spend more... |

This will be the 3rd time I’ve had too replace the flag holder. Because no matter how tight I’ve had the screw they can fly off. Item#BB52713 |
| What is material : plastic or aluminium ??? |
| This bag does indeed fit the trunk wonderfully, but the first time I used it, I tore a big hole in the back of the bag. I don't know what caused it, but when unpacking found the L shaped tear in the back, love the shape and fit so will see if I can find something made of a more durable material or maybe make my own from leather, was a good product, but the material just isn't cutting it on this item. |
| After installing these my bike feels new again. Just rock steady smoothness. Feels better in corners too. One small drawback...these make my bike feel so smooth, higher speeds don’t feel as high any more. Gotta keep a better eye on the speedo!! |
| As far as mounting, it was easy. When it comes to useful, not so much. If I use the included cozy with bottles of water, it works fine, but if I try and use a 30 oz tumbler like a Yeti, the holder wants to flip over as the cup is too tall and heavy and the base is too small to be held firmly in the holder. When I tried a 20 oz tumbler, it is too small to be held firmly in the holder and sloshes around. Unless you have a lid that fits tight it will spill all over. I am also afraid the cup will bounce out when I hit bumps. The holder is made to fit a specific cup and I wish it were smaller. |

I am very happy with this set, easy to install and they and more visibility to the front of the Wing. Thank you again WINGSTUFF |
| I just want to say that the all balls needle bearings was the best thing that ever happened to my Goldwing. Honda should be ashamed of themselves by putting such a cheap roller bearing in a great motorcycle that has been known as the King of the Road. For those who want to know how much this modification cost, I had it done at a professional Honda dealer with a great reputation, and it was over 5 hours labor at $90 an hour you do the math. I would spend it all over again if I had to, that's how much of a difference it made in the performance and stability of the Goldwing. I wouldn't hesitate to buy these and have them installed professionally, I've been riding over 40 years and I've had 4 gold wings starting with the gl1000 back in 1975. I am now a proud owner of a 40th anniversary edition Goldwing and It now feel it's complete. Thank you all balls for making a great product, I love my Goldwing again. |
| I had these in for a few months and then took them out and went with RaceTech springs and emulators. They just made the ride too harsh and the front end sit up an additional half inch. |
