| 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 |
| Bought 2 of these they both were wired wrong had to pull wires out of plug in for relay and switch black ground wire and red wire to fuse box around or it was a direct short and will blow your 30 amp main fuse other wise nice small unit |

I have had nothing but trouble w/ these cords from day 1, we are VERY careful about how we put the helmets down & store them.. The cords always break @ the CB audio out side of the headset, (ATLEAST 6 TIMES!!!) Who ever makes these Chinese Junk for J&M should be run out of town on a rail. I'm have to order 2 more cords again, this 8 CORDS IN 4 YRS!!!!! The next headsets that I buy w/ not be J&M... |

I bought this several years ago for my 2008 Goldwing. It’s nice to just drop the front panel of it to do and oil change. Just within the last 3 years I’ve started riding with guys that love the twisting curves of the mountain roads in Oregon. I recently too an advanced riding course. So I’m keeping up with these guys now. Who ride BMW’s. I’m scraping pegs with a lot of turns now. The wing handles pretty damn good for a boat. Now to get to the point of this product. I was rounding a curve really leaning, not quite to scrape the pegs. But enough to hit a large rock that didn’t touch the tires. But hitting the panel hard. I was also talking to my buds over my Bluetooth. He thought I had crashed! Afterwards I turned around and found the rock in little pieces. When I got home. I found the panel had been dented, even ripped a hole in it! And bits of rock inside. But it did the job of projecting the under belly! I hammered out the dents and afterward changing my oil. Put it back on! |
| The pegs are nice and sleek but If the bike falls on its sides while the pegs are extended ;valve cover damage can occur. |
| After reading other reviews, seems I'm not the only one with issues on the short life span of the left light. Wish they sold them with (2) left lights per package. As of now, I can't justify dropping another $140+ knowing what a short life span they have. Love 'em when they work.... |

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. |
| These were an easy install and much brighter than I anticipated. They are independently adjustable so you can dial them in to your desired focal points. The silver color is a great match with my 2012 silver faring. |
