I was able to get the molding piece off by taping the paint, popping the corner with my fingers, and then used a wooden shim to hold up the corner and another wooden shim at the center of the bottom (where the clip is) to get the clip to let loose. That was the hardest part. Getting the lock off is pretty easy. I removed the clip on the back that was holding it on the plastic and that allows for removing the cable. You have to order the extension wire mentioned. The accessory power is on the other side of the bike. So on the clutch side of the bike I removed the storage compartment. You don't need to fully remove the molding piece for that, just get the thin part loose. I then fished the extension wire across the bike with a long zip tie. That worked well. To put the lock in the new panel I removed the voltmeter first. Then reassembled everything. Took me a couple hours but I'm slow and cautious. |
| I've had no problems with this on my 2014 GL1800. |
| I put my first set of E4's on and have ran E3's before. The E4's have to be the roughest riding tire I have ever had. I run 40 psi front and 42 psi rear and can feel the smallest stone in the road. These must be the hardest rubber compound on the market. I find like a lot of other reviewers, that these tires have prolems with groves in the road and god for bid you drive over a metal grated bridge. I ride two up 99% of the time and the wife does not care for them either. Hope the mileage is good if nothing else. I have not found a tire worth the money we pay for them. I love the Avon Cobras but the front tires become out of round with in 6k to 8k. Had 3 sets of Avon cobras and all the front tire did that. Looks like need to run E3 front and Avon Cobra rear. Who knows i guess if own a bike you just have to be able to throw endless money at it for tires. Must just be the nature of the beast. |

Being super careful to not misalign or over torque any of the fasteners. The fit seem to be dead on. I had high expectations for a successful install. Upon wiping off fingerprints post installation I noticed black ABS plastic fragments laying on my lift. Further inspection revealed the ear that attaching it to the fender was shattered involving the stock fender as well. An inferior or defective product caused my fender to crack and break to smithereens. ABS plastic normally indestructible? Somehow this batch was packaged and delivered all the while being like glass. I had no choice but to trim off the fractured plastic so as to run any fender at all. |
| I used this three times and the oil plug end stripped. Can not use this end at all. The filter end still works great So make sure you have a 17mm wrench or socket |
| It is always great to show pride of our Flag and it does allow others to see you during daylight hours with the Red, White and Blue waving. |
| Overpriced but convenient to order and have with the bike tool kit |
| Great way to protect the Key fob and dash and paint on the Bike. |
| Wrench works great and is nice to have the extra crush washers. |
| Followed directions for cleaning and applying to bike, one fell off in transit and one fell of sitting in sitting in the garage. I should have applied taken a second and applied 3M double sided tape. wasted $$$$ |
| You really have to stop sitting the helmet down flat with the cord plugged in and don't store the helmet with the cord plugged in either. I'm lucky I live in Florida where I had J&M replace a cord for free at Bike Week before I learned what not to do. After that, I've been on the same cords for 3-4 years now with no issues. |

I have ridden Dunlop Elite 3 for years... so when the Elite 4 came out I was so excited to try them. I love riding the curves with the Elite 4... 20% faster in the curves- these tires stick! I have others that ride with me on other brand tires and they can't believe the handling I am getting with these tires. I haven't seen any of the problems with the road snakes! I run 41 psi in both front and rear. I am usually one up on the bike with truck, both saddle bags and a bag in the rear seat... My Goldwing is also equipped with the Centramatic Stainless Wheel Balancers, front and rear. These things make a world of difference alone... Long story short- I would highly recommend the Dunlop Elite 4s on any Goldwing. These tires were made for riding. I hope I will get the millage out of them as others are saying. I only have 17K on them now and I truly believe I will get over 20K+! |
