| I bought a used 2005 GL1800 and the left side cover had a broken stud (gone) so I bought these and used a Dremel drill forming the stud close to the way the other one was on the right side. I then cut it off for length and used their JB epoxy to glue it in place. I think they are a little over priced, for only getting two, but hey -- they did the trick. You could probably buy an ABS plastic sheet and glue strips together and make your own, but these are convenient to work with. |
| I had these on my 2004 ABS and recently bought these for my 2005 GL1800. Now. the template shows the exact edge spot where you line it up on the trunk. And when you mark the spots you will see the spots are very close to the outside edge of the trunk (you will think 'to close'). Reason is there is a double layer of plastic for connecting the trunk together towards the inside edge. I drilled the holes and then spitted on them (as instructed) and used a small screw driver to push the edge on the outside part of the bumper into the hole. After getting it to start into the hole on the edge I then pulled them down with needle nose pliers (back and forth) and continued to work the small screw driver around the upper outside edge. They then popped in. Yes, the trunk will be tight closing, but my experience with them on my older 2004 bike is after a while they do form in and the trunk becomes easier to close. The instructions will tell you all of this. I definitely think they are well worth it. |
| I had bought the recent J&M digital player and decided to order this software. I noticed a few glitches with it, but basically it makes it easier to load a flash drive with the songs you want. The nice thing is you can save your list should you want to rebuilt your flash drive, or make a duplicate. Example, you wan reload your list that may have been in original CD order and scramble the list and install it again. So it has it's benefits. |
| I bought two of these for my 2005 GL1800. One is installed inside the trunk up on the lid and is able to be plugged into the Universal Trunk Plug I installed (EC02208) into the lid cover. I used Velcro to attach it up onto the underneath side of the trunk. This allows me to plug in USB items (2) and regular items using cigarette lighter plugs. I always wanted plugs for my previous cycles in their trunks and this does the trick now. I bought two so i could have one in my front left glove compartment, but the way I have done the wiring I doubt I will need the second one. |
| Back on 7/13/2011 I wrote a review about how great the F4 folks were in replacing the 4" I had put on my 2004 wing. If you wonder about the 4" possibly cracking, I would say they have corrected that situation by making the base thicker. But, one thing to consider is the 4" creates more buffing with wind, so that is why I put the 2" (adjustable, as the 4" is not) on. This new one is now on my 2005 Goldwing and I actually took a brand new factory windshield off (former owner had put on) just so I could have the F4 on it. It is easy to clean and I do not have to worry about the F4 getting foggy like the factory one does. I also bought clear because I always wear lightly darkened glasses when traveling so didn't want night vision to be darker. If you want a great windshield, get the F4. |
| I did something different with this trim. Have you ever had a bug come through the vent and hit you in the face at about 70 MPH? Yes, it stings like heke. On my previous cycles I made a trim from a piece of flat plastic and put window/door screen on the back side then Velcro to attach it to the vent. With this chrome trim I carefully removed their double stick tape. Then put down contact cement where the tape had been and then laid some window/door screen over and pressed into the channel (using clear wrap (for food so it would not stick to my fingers). I let it dry. I cut strips of Velcro and attached the rough side of the Velcro to the channel of the trim accent (back side where I glued in the screen). Once that was done I removed the cover wrap of the soft side of the Velcro and pressed it the trim onto the windshield vent. I now have a nice looking chrome trim, with a screen in it (to stop bugs) and it is removable if I need to clean the screen. Word of caution -- If you do this be very careful removing the double stick tape as the thin part of the chrome accent could easily break, so be patient. It really looks nice. |
| I am a great believer in having lights on the back of the cycle. Had a similar one like this on a 1996 1800 SE. This one I installed on a 2005 1800. The light is a running light only (no stop). There are two simple wires, one ground and one live. The plate came attached to the rubber part and I put a tie clip on one of the bolts that connect the metal to the rubber and ran the lines through it. The metal bolt slots are elongated so they allow you to fit (by sliding back and forth) to the cycle cover bolts, so no drilling. Not much to it except finding a live wire on the cycle and a good ground. |
| I had this on my 2004 1800 and have now installed this one on my 2005 1800. On the 2004 I installed it down below on the left side of the handle bars. Only thing is I seldom ever glanced down there. I have this one installed on the lower right (below keyed pocket) in the blank space. I set it high up in that space as I will be putting a cigarette lighter in that space also. It adds a little flair to the black area and is easily seen at a glance. Just hook it to a live wire and to a ground and you are set to go. Has a double stick tape for attaching. |
| I had this on a 2004 1800 and liked it. I now have a 2005 and installed one. The instructions are very explicit to check for leaks. Only problem was getting the bottom part to disconnect from the top when I went to install. It was stuck pretty tight. I use if for two things presently. My radar detector and I have an electronic pulsating deer alert that emits a very high decibel sound. Older people usually can't hear it, but for younger folks it is very irritating and for some it hurts their ears. Thus I set the closest switch (right one) to switch it off and on as needed. Easy install. |
| First off these grips are very large in diameter, examine the ends before you try putting the caps on one of mine had so much paint inside that it broke the very fragile screw. Do they work, yes rode 200 miles after install hands were good to go. Install tip.. I used worm gear hose clamps to get them tight enough to install screws. |
| this really has helped went in a little awkward but stay in place and really keep the wind down in that 25-35-degree ferienhiet weather |
| These lights cost so much this is a no brainer, They really keep the big nasty bugs, sticks and stones from turning the lights into road debri, the stick on tabs don't look too bad in real life either |
