| This was the very first accessory I bought for my first Gen II. I love having the center mounted cup holder and my coffee mug fits perfectly. A 16/20oz bottle fits very well also. However, you lose the ability to lock things in the glovebox with this unit. Both sides of the cubby are covered by rubber inserts that are made to pop out. I am glad I kept the original cover and plan on switching back once I add a handlebar mounted cup holder. The insert makes the side pockets so small my kick stand pad had to be shortened to fit. It works great as a cup holder but not so much if you plan on storing things in the glovebox. |
| Installed this on my '07 and my wife and I went to Starbucks to get matching tumblers the next day. Other reviewers talked about the bottom rubbing the saddlebag and with a 16oz bottle it would drag a little but we used the same tumblers all the time and never had any issues. I wish it mounted just a bit higher and I would have given 5 stars. It is so much easier for her to have her own drink and now I don't have to hand it to her over my shoulder. Love it! |
| I installed this in about 5 minutes on my '07 and loved it instantly. I didn't opt for the swivel and hard mounted it. We went to Starbucks and bought matching tumblers that fit perfectly. I cannot speak for the longevity because about 2 months after I purchased it, we met a deer in Kansas on our cross country trip. My drink stayed put though and I really wish I had removed this accessory and kept it for my new ride. |
| These floorboards get more comments than my other accessories and that is because they look great! I gave them 4 stars because of functionality. The fairing on the GL1800 makes any footpeg placement a challenge, but at 6 feet tall I have to place these too close to me to actually stretch out and not drag them everywhere. I have had more luck with the Ergo II. They do offer more versatility over pegs because you can move your feet into several positions and that is great for long rides. |
| I installed this rest on my '07 and absolutely loved it! It was scary cutting the seat, but I used a bread knife and the width was perfect. This design fit very comfortably between my shoulder blades and I didn't realize how important that was until I bought my '12 with the Utopia style rest on it. (the square rests put a strain on my shoulders after about an hour and this one did not) I love my Gen II but really wish I had this backrest! In fact, I will probably change them out once I get the other accessories in order. |
| Very disappointed with these. While difficult to get on the real issue is that they hang up the throttle by pinching the heated grip on the end toward the switch housing. Struggled with these for two days and finally give in. Save yourself time, money and aggravation and buy some foam slip on grips. |

I'm about to install yet another set of Bridgestone EXEDRA's on my 2008 GW and I wouldn't do it without these beads! It's hard to find the right words but the first time I used these beads, my GW rode smooth as 'silk'. Totally different. I was amazed. I had never used the beads before and had no idea what to expect. Plus, I ended up getting more miles that expected on those tires and I ride 2-up and loaded quite often, so that was an added benefit. I'm not positive I can contribute the better tire wear to the beads alone, but it definitely made a difference And I certainly never got that KIND of ride out of my tires. Smooth, smooth, smooth. They are definitely a 5-star item in my opinion. I have heard the beads can mess up your TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) if you have one though, but I can't really speak to that for sure. Mine is a 2008 and don't have that anyway. But otherwise I'd encourage anyone to give these a try if they haven't. Safe riding! |

I've already reviewed this awesome add-on from a couple of perspectives but now I have another minor 'upgrade' that I want to share. Up to now, when traveling on the road I always remove the storage compartment at night and take it in the hotel room but leave the rack connected to the bike. Depending on where we're staying though, I'm sometimes a little hesitant about leaving the rack mounted to the bike thinking someone might take it, and wish I just had a way to secure it a little better. So now it is locked on. I removed that pin underneath that secures the receiver and drilled a hole through it just large enough to get one of my small locks through it. So now when I put the pin in I also secure it with a small lock. It's certainly not theft-proof by any means, but it's enough I think to deter someone from easily slipping the rack off, if even just out of orneriness. (Remember, locks are mainly just to keep honest people honest anyway. If they really wanted it I'm sure they could still get it, but they'd have to work a little harder for it;-) We're heading out for another 5500 mile, 2-1/2 week trip later this summer and suffice it to say I won't be quite as worried now about leaving the rack on overnight. The process was quite easy and if anyone needs any particulars feel free to chime in. I have a photo of it locked on but can't see how to include it with this post, but I'd be happy to share it - just let me know. Safe riding! |
| I give the bars 3 stars because the butler mug can not be mounted like on the OEM bars. Had I know this, I'd would not have purchased these bars. |
| I've had this cup holder on 3 different bikes since 2012. And it still keeping my drinks cold to this day. Money well spent ... Get the big cup for those long hot days. 2 thumbs up !! |
| The led fog lights work great. I drive at night to work and the difference was very apparent. Everything is brighter and even street signs reflect with a glow now. Now I do think the daylight running function works well and is visible however I don't believe the turn signals are as bright as they could be. The problem is when your fog lights are on it kinda drowns out the turn signal as its flashing. And then when the fog lights are off usually during the day time they are still a little difficult to see. I feel like brighter yellow LEDs should have been used in that application. But I still give it 5 stars for overall function. Install is what you would imagine it would take you to install it. Try not to install it as the sun is going down like I did unless you like a challenge. |
| First let me say Wingstuff was great customer service and response. Kuryakyn has quality control issues with this product though. First set I had all but last peg on the bike when I discovered the threads on the bracket for the peg were majorly buggered up. Wingstuff promptly provided return and replacement set. Low and behold this set had buggered threads on both brackets 😕 so this time I got a tap and die and re-cut the threads. I think my passengers will like them but rate kuryakyn on this one low due to qc. My first issue with one of their products though. |
