| These arm rests were installed by the dealer on my 2009 GW when I purchased it new. They didn't really fit well as the mounting brackets impinged upon the passenger heat and CB controls. However, if carefully placed in a vice, you can bend them a mm or so away from those controls without affecting function or comfort (you just shouldn't have to do that!). The pivot bolts have been correctly described here as junk and they will quickly wear out. This is the only parts failure that you should anticipate. You should be able to find adequate replacement bolts and nuts in the specialty hardware section of most home and hardware stores. I have not had any problems with the nylon spacers, which are designed to restrict arm rest motion when the pivot bolts are appropriately tightened. The passenger will need to swing out the "driver side" arm rest in order to get to climb on so they can't be so tight that they won't adequately move. The mounting brackets are securely held on by the passenger seat grip bolts and will need to be removed anytime seat removal is required. This is a real nuisance because lining up the seat grip bolts is tricky (having someone sit on the passenger seat while installing these may help) and it makes for just one more thing to worry about when I take the bike in for service. You don't want to strip the threads in the grip bolts - they should go in relatively easily. There are just too many small parts that can be easily dropped and never found again! The leather covers on the arm rests are thin and are just stapled to their undersides. One of them has a tear underneath the arm rest but that hasn't yet caused any problems in function or appearance. When I drive this to work, the bike is not protected from the elements and these arm rests have otherwise survived very well. You should be regularly spraying all of the leather parts with leather protectant anyway. The arm rests can be made snug enough to help keep my wife from easily falling off the bike when she falls asleep (the back seat is pretty comfortable) and while she may be safer with these, you should not consider these to be adequate passenger side restraints! Another trade-off is that when her arms are placed on the arm rests, my side/rear vision is somewhat blocked by her arms and shoulders, a potential problem when doing lane changes and passing other vehicles. When the arm rests are in their normal, forward positions, they do not interfere with trunk opening. Overall, these arm rests are certainly functional but not without problems. It seems to me that most of these issues could have been corrected by better design and materials by the manufacturer. |
| Applied this to my 2002 Honda Goldwing and now ordering one for my 2015. Works well when adding lights. |
| Easy to install,good quality, super looking. |
| When I opened the package I had to double check the invoice receipt, but after looking more closely I realized that this was the perfect design. Perch mount is the key. It literally bolts right on in about 2 minutes. I ran an Aux cord from the glove box through the wire routing sleeve under the handlebar and it looks like Honda made it this way. Next will be a USB charger and I am set. |
| I thought my Wing was just about perfect, then I added these! WOW! I am 5'11" and decided to use the Standard model. I am glad I did. Now my arms are much more relaxed and I feel like I could ride comfortably much, much longer. My shoulders used to start aching after about an hour and I thought it was just due to an old injury. Once I read some reviews on this product, I decided to try it. Now my Wing is more comfortable than my recliner! Shoulder and back pain are gone. Just take your time when notching out the fork cover (I used a box knife and large round file). Absolutely fantastic product! |
| I absolutely love this piece! It looks great and functions very well. The only negative thing I can say is that you have to double shift into first gear most times. For some reason, first gear is a little tricky but I have just made the habit of pressing down twice. |

First off, the exhaust came well packaged. Having installed a set of V&H Monster Ovals on my 2010 Wing, I decided to go something different as the V&H are expensive and were just a tad too quite. They were nice, but the price is high. This time, I went with the TBR's, lower price, black and sounded good on the video. However, like other vids I have found that what you actually get seems to be a tad quieter. Installation is typical. Rights went on easier than the lefts did on both products, don't ask me why. I did not remove the heat shields to install. Right went on fairly easily with some muscle. The left was difficult and the bolt under the saddlebag did NOT line up. It was about 1/16th short. The flange was fully flush on both ends so no room for movement there. Took a rat file and files the bolt hole a bit and bolt slipped right in. From the rear you can not tell as both exhaust seem to be perfectly in alignment. Now for the sound. WOW! I have to say, out of the two I have had and listened to other friends Wings with various brands, these from TBR sound the best. Like the other reviews said, "Deep, throaty sound. There is no hum with mine and can hear the radio just fine. You feel you really have something under you. Love them... thanks TBR and Wingstuff. |

I had a 1994 GL1500SE that I bought the F4 windshield in 2010. After a year the coating came off when i tried to clean in after a year. i contacted F4 and a replacement was sent and I installed it. the coating on that one last almost 2 years. I did not want to dish out any more money on a new one so I was able to remove the coating and used a fine head light lens polishing compound to clear up the windshield. This procedure has to be repeated ever other month. I would also coat with a synthetic polymer wax. There developed starburst blemishes in the windshield that would not come out. The windshield is stable during cross winds and at speeds above 100 MPH, Due to an accident the bike was totaled and I will not be purchasing an F4 for my 2010 GL1800 I do not recommend the F4 with any type of coating on it. |
| All I wanted was a place to put my maps. Easy installation but it wouldn't close with a helmet in the trunk. I took the Wingstuff pouch off and threw the rest of it away. Attached the pouch to the trunk lid and put my maps in. That's all I really wanted. |
| Easy installation, I was a little nervous but ever thing went just like it was suppose to. Looks great but it is bigger than it needs to be and I have no use for a man bag. I really like being able to unplug it when I need to. |
| The lighting on this product is extremely faint. I believe you will be disappointed in it. It adds little in the way of illumination, both for turn signals and as a running light. It's placement also adds to the limited visibility, along with a very weak brightness; just doesn't help with adding additional lighting. I purchased this product to create additional visibility and for the bling. With all this said, I would not purchase it again. |

Stock windshield at 35mph and volume at 24 I couldn't hear the music. :( Installed the BaggerShield, took me about 1/2 hour because I had trouble getting the left bolt started and the darn rubber boot back in place. Went for a ride. Hit the freeway, 70mph and volume was at 20 and I could hear my music! oh yeah. I am 5'9" tall and put the shield up at its highest setting. I can see over the top of the shield by a good 2". I love the shading over the instrument panel too. |
