| This is the easiest upgrade you can make to your Gold Wing. This accessory is NOT year specific and is a can't miss/can't mess up install. Fits around your typical 1-7/8-inch ball and covers it for a clean look. This item is made of a chrome plastic. An included Foam insert is installed around the neck of the hitch ball and this chrome cover is squeezed on over it. That's it! Beauty and clean looks in 5-seconds. |
| The Rivco hitch platform is a perfect addition for a solo ride during the hot summer months to carry water and snacks or for riding 2-up and carrying cargo for the trip. You can use any bag to strap on and take with you, but if you’re concerned about security consider the Rivco bag. It has a built in security system that makes it easy to secure on the rack. |
| After installing 3 of these on Gen I models, I finally got around to installing the Rivco Hitch Kit on my 2012 Wing. The installation was nearly identical with the exception that the fender well space on the Gen II seems much tighter for the placement of the upper arm mounts than on the Gen I models. However, the fit and finish are the same. It looks great and it is rock solid. I installed the bag platform mount in addition to the hitch ball. Installation took up to 3 hours with most of the time and effort going towards the upper mounts and wire relocation. The instructions are non specific to model year and the pictures included are of Gen I. That’s the reason for only 4-stars. |
| First set installed and lasted 13 months then second set just on 12 months. Bike only travelled 40,000kms. Now have 3 rd set fitted with fingers crossed. Thanks to Wingstuff for supporting the new purchase and providing excellent customer service even from this side of the world. NZ Hopefully product reliability in the future. They look great when they are all working. |
| When installing run your wires to each area of the bike (front, side, rear, driving) when lighted that section will be on not lights not on simple. Tip: the green and the spade are the switched line, and wiring is attached to the spade near the green |
| Installed these lights in my low beams on my 2015 (40th Anniversary) Wing. What a difference. Will change out the High beams shortly. The LED Low Beams make the High beams look yellow due to the difference in light frequency. If you are looking to make the jump, these are a great choice. |

I purchased 6 of these to convert all rear bulbs on my 2015 GW to running and brake lights. First observation: They did not "Click" into the OEM socket as solid als the OEM incandescent bulbs. They fit but not as well as they should. Second observation: They provided great, strong light. But on one of the bulbs the center inside the cage was rotated about 20 degrees, so when observed from the outside it looked crooked in the lamp. Could not be fixed since the socket provides a predetermined position when locked in correctly. When removing the lamp one little contact came out of the bulb socket and made the bulb useless. When checking the other bulbs they worked alright but all were lose in the socket. Which esentially means they could either flicker on the road or fail completely. So I went and bought a Sylvania 7443 just to find out it was just as lose in the socket. Junk as well. As a last resort I bought a Philips 7443 Vision 12yr warranty ( They come in a two pack for $29 on the Internet). These locked into the socket with a solid click and some serious pressure. They will never come out. And are guaranteed form12 years. The pathfinders have NO warranty. So buyer beware. |
| Junk! Much static. Cuts in and out with mostly one side making contact. Just received the one I bought from another vendor and it's perfect. Price 11.99 on e-bay. |

*** Updated 04-06-2018 *** I have 6,000 miles on the tires, they still look new and ride great. I love the tires. I would have been close to replacing (or replacing by now) a set of Bridgestones. No complaints. *** I recently finished a 7,250-mile road trip from Texas to the northwestern states. I had about 9,000 miles on the OEM Bridgestones and had to replace them. I wanted a tire that could give me much better mileage but still provide the comfort the Bridgestones did. After researching these and some convincing input from a local bike repair shop which primarily serves Harley's, I decided to go with these tires. The one thing I was concerned about was the comfort they would provide. I am a fan of the darkside for the mileage (ran a Bridgestone Driveguard for 30,000 miles on rear), but not for the handling. And though I didn't think I noticed the rougher ride, my wife didn't like the Darkside tire, so what the heck, I went back to OEM Bridgestones. Well, I say I was concerned because I found all sorts of great things about these tires, but everyone seemed totally silent on the "comfortable ride" part. I couldn't find anything or anyone talking about that. But I did it anyway and put them on (front and rear). Another potential concern was that in my research, I found riders who complained about this tire wanting to follow tar snakes. A few people complained about the ride on grooved pavement with these tires. My results? Holy smokes! Far superior to the darkside handling and comfort (I ran 42 PSI due to TPMS), and I would rate them superior in comfort and handling to the Bridgestones. I really, really like them. They are great in rain and really stick to the road. I had absolutely no problem whatsoever with them wanting to follow tar snakes. And as for grooved pavement, they performed much better than the OEM Bridgestones. Will it get the mileage the darkside offers? Of course not, but if I can pull off 15,000 - 20,000 miles, I would consider it a success. As for the wife, she says she will pay for the comfort these tires give her versus the darkside. (I am not against the darkside by the way). Some of my research indicated you can exceed 20,000 miles on the rear tire, and my repair shop that provided the input? He showed me a Dunlop Elite 3 he took off a Harley with 23,000 miles on it with very little wear evident... Yeah, not a Goldwing, but still. The tire looked great. And the Elite 4 was engineered for more mileage than the Elite 3, but with soft rubber for traction on the sides. Now, two things I offer as a disclaimer. I only have 3,000 on them, but it has been a great 3,000 miles. I am hoping to get some great mileage out of them, but that is a hope at this point. The second disclaimer is that I purchased Centramatics from Wingstuff and had them installed with the brand new Dunlop Elite 4's. How much of the comfort, handling, great ride on tar snakes and grooved pavement is the result of the Centramatics? I don't know. But what a difference the combination makes. I am sold on Centramatics and the Elite 4, for now. Assuming I don't run into issues in the miles ahead, I am sticking with these tires. Also, if I only get 10,000-12,000 miles out of them (unlikely I think), I will still stay with these tires. Final comment... I am not against the Darkside. I know 42 PSI seems a tad bit high on pressure, and perhaps that was an issue with the rougher ride my wife complained about. The TPMS warned me if I went lower and I am not changing it just because of the darkside tire. As for anyone else's negative experiences with tar snakes and grooved pavement, I believe you had the issues - but I didn't. In fact, with the Centramatics, I rode over tar snakes with zero issue, and some of the grooved pavement was rather severe that I rode over with zero issues. |
| Easy to install and adds just enough chrome to brighten up the area |
| If you have trouble with this sliding back, get a piece of round dowel, small enough to fit inside the front tube, and cut it to 12 inches (305mm) long. Fit it inside the tube, put the front tube back inside the back tube and it will never move again and should be just the perfect position for you. |
| Do these fit, or are they able to be used on the 2018 Goldwing |
