| Fits to close to bike. Luggage will rub rear of bike |
| I bought this and used it once, the return trip from Nashville to Tampa. Mostly interstate miles. I put 50+ lbs on the rack, well secured. I don't have use for anything that has limits beyond what the bike has. The welds broke on the thing after approximately 500 miles. There are 4 bolts secured through holes with caps, I can't be sure that these bolts wont shear off without the welds. At the end of my trip, it was noticeable that the shelf has dropped a few inches (2-4in) at the end and drags over curbs. While this product has failed webs, I am unsure if the unusable or not. |
| The cup holder is everything you could ask for. People complain it's too big. If they made it any smaller they would complain that the only cups that fit in it don't hold enough. They complain it's in the way, but if it was mounted out of the way they would complain it's hard to get to. As far as things vibrating loose on a Harley. I went for a ride with a friend on his new $40K Harley and he lost half the fasteners off his luggage carrier before we traveled the first hundred miles (he said he paid extra to be able to see his chrome shake when the bike idles). The cup holder is heavy duty, well made and functional. We haven't tried a cup yet that didn't fit. Even my wife's Yeti cup fit in it, although it wasn't as handy as the Congtigo cup we usually use. |
| Are you planing to get other colors or year modal ? |
| I contacted the manufacturer and they sent me two new cupholders. I told them that I wanted to double up the triangle mounting piece which is the piece that broke on me. They sent me two additional triangle pieces along with the 2 new cupholders. This should get me fixed up I hope. I really do like these cup holders. |
| I am on my second E4 rear and first E4 front. I commute on a 2013 GL1800 Audio Comfort at 500 miles a week, apox 80 mph. I have no complaints. The only thing is you have to maintain the correct tire pressure. 2 lbs off and you get a different scary ride in the corners. This will be my second combo set as I am replacing both tires this time. Mine are wearing out 2 rear to 1 front. |
| I have E4 on both front/rear positions on my '05 Gl1800. About 5k on them and the rear is wearing and preforming fine. However the front E4 in certain conditions is scary ! Rubber snakes and grooved pavement cause an uncomfortable feeling. The big problem is on open grated metal sections of bridges----the handlebar wobble is awful. No, I would not put an E4 on the front of my GoldWing again. In fact I feel Dunlop should replace my front tire because of the safety factor. |
| I bought this because I was having issues with a constant "hot mic" on the onboard intercom on my 2012 Wing. As per the description not only here on Wingstuff, but the SENA site as well it reads "Use an additional FreeWire for your passenger to talk over the motorcycle’s internal intercom system – All with the wireless freedom you’ve been longing for." I assumed that means you can't use the onboard intercom ONLY unless you buy a second Freewire. Well, that is not true. The Freewire works with 1 headset just fine. Maybe it's me, but the Freewire I have will not pair with a second headset, therefore the passenger is not able to listen to any of the onboard comm. Maybe there is a way to do it, but the directions are so inadequate that I now just cringe when I think of the performance vs what I paid for it AND I still have to buy another one so the wife can listen to the same stuff I am. Very disappointing. If I find out that it is something I am/am not doing correctly, then I will re-rate it higher. |

Pop the left glove box out, drill a 1 1/8" hole where indicated and you're done. Well almost. What took the longest was plugging the d**n thing in. Not a whole lot of room for big hands. It's doable but ideally, install this when you have the top shelter off for some other reason. I purchased a second one to put in the trunk. Just need to figure out how and where I want to mount it. |

Easy install. The hardest part is committing the drill to the plastic. Took me about an hour. If I had to do it again; 20 minutes. Paint match was perfect. I used the included template and the marks lined up just fine. Because you only get one shot at drilling the holes, I made notes on the template indicating the 3 holes to be drilled for the left side and the 2 holes for the right. And remember to flip the template over! Confused? Watch the Cruiseman install video on YouTube. Even with all that care, I had to lightly dress one or two of the holes with a rasp so there wouldn't be any stress on the plastic when I tightened the bolts up. There was no grommet on the wiring to seal the hole in the trunk lid as shown in the instructions. I guess Honda feels it's not needed to keep water out or to prevent scuffing of the wire on the hole. I'll probably go back in to take a look in a few months or so. If I see any evidence of scuffing, I'll put a wrap or two of electrical tape on the wires to protect them. If I see any water, a dab of sealer should do the trick. All in all, I am very pleased with the look and the added safety the additional brake light brings. Thinking about adding a modulator to it next... |
| Having had these on my Goldwing for over two years, the right support arm (the one that the pad assembly sits on) has had a terrible flaking and delaminating of the chrome plating. The left one is fine, so it is definitely a poor chrome job on that right arm. I've left multiple email messages with Rivco to see if they will address this issue or even provide the cost of the replacement part without a single response. The only solution at this point I am planning on taking is to have both arms powder coated. |
| Had to wait a long time for this shade - looks solid. However, you have to drill a whole to have access to the power button. You might also watch out that you do not cover the flap that covers the USB connection. Vision-X stated that they might think about improvements. I think they should provide a product that meets the advertised Garmin GPS w/o having to do a lot of 'DIY'. |
