| Me, I commute on my bike and post up around 25k miles a year on my wing. I've had my Windbender for about 3 years now. Prior to purchasing the windbender, I had tried 4 different windshields. Nothing comes close to this for ride comfort and visibility. I like to see over the screen when possible. With this shield, I can see 3 inches over the top while riding in real comfort. "I would have had to have the stock shield in its highest position to get anywhere close to the same calm air ride as the Windbender when it's set low". This thing is truly awesome. Great in the rain too..... much better than conventional screens. |
| The installation took a while but worked out the way it was supposed to. The lamps are nice and bright. The switch provided needed to be modified to install (some tab sticking out the side), and it seems like it's very tight tolerance in the hole, which binds a little. The wiring in the mirrors was kind of a pain but worked with some patience. There was a little more of a gap than I expected between the light and cowl but it's only noticable if you look at it from a really low angle. The instructions just tell you to watch a video, and the video was great, but I wish there was a hard copy to reference so I wouldn't need to go inside to double check the video every time I move on to each step. All that said, they are way better than any other goldwing fog lights I've seen. |

I really like the sound on ... Start up, Idle , most acceleration and down shifts I really don't like the sound st .. 60-70 mph , they drone and under some heavy up hill acceleration I've only ridden 60 mile since I installed them and they look great by the way! Contemplating some torque loopz to sort this issue out ie a cat delete option |
| The installation was easy and went exactly the way the instructions were written. The side of the engine looks way cooler than stock, and I don't have to have bulky hardware tacked onto the engine guards. They are thin but suprisingly comfortable. The left one is a tad closer than the right but not too noticible for me. Someone mentioned potential engine damage if the bike falls. I'll need to be extra careful about folding them in when I'm not using them. |
| Stabilizes the front end, not just another piece of stick on chrome plastic. I installed this along with teh Progressive Monotube cartridges and it feels like the same bike, but so much better. This really ought to be standard equipment on a bike this heavy. |
| I just installed these oin my '02 GL1800 and could not believe the difference. the front end is stiffer, but more compliant- i did add the spacers provided- and it is perfect for solo or 2 up. Ride is smoother and teh bike sts higher, which I like. If I got a new GW, I would do this right away. |

Install was a PITA as others have noted. Zip ties and 2 hose clamps did the trick though. with a little bit of rubber hose under the clamps to prevent nicks. I was not as immediately impressed with these as I was the chrome ones that I put on the 2003. They are thicker around so will take a bit of getting used too. Still better than the skinny stock grips. It was 48 degrees, I wore my thin gloves and had no problem feeling the heat through. My hands get cold at those temps without heat and they stayed nice and warm. Set to high then reduced to medium. |
| I installed this in my trunk about a year ago and my wife loves the fact she can charge her phone while riding, and since it has 2 usb ports you can charge anything in the truck at the same time . |

Just installed these in place of the 6" arms. I am now able to extend my legs and they clear the fairing sides. The pegs stick out about an inch farther. My inseam is 30" and I was nervous my legs would be too short to reach. :/ Not a problem. :) I am able to extend my legs without having the arms below the engine guard. Glad I bought these vs the 4.5" arms. |
| I haven't installed the windshield yet and am sure I'll like it but am surprised that there were absolutely no instructions whatsoever. I know many on this site are very adept at these kinds of things but I've never attempted to replace a windshield on a an F6B. I searched online and should be able to do this with no trouble but I shouldn't have had to scour the internet for instructions. |

I bought this for a Goldwing Trike. I got the Clear F4+2 with vent. When I opened the package I thought the vent looked way to big. But after getting it put on the bike it still looks big but its not in my way, even with the shield all the way up. I did notice an area about 2 to 3 inches from the top that it seems to distort but I have only rode a few miles so far. Will update. Great very clear and easy to install windshield. |
| I bought these for a Goldwing trike. Needed more area for my feet and wanting something lower. Since I don't have to worry about scraping with them being lower on the trike they let my legs relax more and has a wider pattern.. |
