| 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. |
| I purchased this drink holder in 2011, it doesn't hold standard drinking cups very well, like the ones from fast food restaurants but it works great for bottled water or similar drinks, it's also a perfect fit for my 21oz insulated water bottle. |
| This does the same thing as the kuryakyn brand, but it keeps the same wing span as the stock handlebars. Easy to install on the 08,just pull the cover straight up. All you got to do is unplug the speakers. Then unplug the dash wires, the hardest part of the whole operation. I took a long skinny screwdriver from the left side, to go under the tab then it will pop free. Then unbolt the handlebars, and loosen the cables. Just bolt it back together. For the plastic cover, use a quarter to mark it and cut it out. If you put the quarter in right place it will fit perfectly. After taking several trips plus a 400 mile day I wished I would of had bought it when I first bought the bike. My shoulders would hurt, my wife would rub them while I drove. Now they feel just as good as when I first get on it. More than well worth the money. |
| These lights look great and add a little more light in the back of the bike. One on my corner lights didn't work and WingStuff replaced it very quickly. I purchase almost all my accessories from them and have always been satisfied . |
| I have been wanting one of these ride off stands for a while thinking it would make it easier to steady the bike upright. So I recently bought one. 1st issue is lack of instructions with the stand. Got the right side hex nut bolt off only after having to go buy larger hex set and trying one by one until I found the one that fit. 2nd issue (again from lack of instructions) I ended up rounding the bolt head on the left side trying to loosen it up. It cost me $60 to find out from a motorcycle tech that the right side had a reverse thread bolt. Would have been nice to know BEFORE I rounded off that bolt head. OK got the Right bolt out and ready to install the ride off stand. After installation, I find the exact same results as pere1543 review. My bike is leaning to the right. The left stand leg is approx. 1/4 inch off the ground with the foot stand shouldering the weight of the left side. The stand would not put my bike up while on the cement floor in my shop as it just slid along the floor. I rolled it back into the ally and tried it again. AGAIN, like pere1543, my reverse gear began slipping and would not pick up the bike. I called Wingstuff to express my dissatisfaction. Was told to call the manufacturer. I was given a phone #. I called 4 times in a 2 hour period and got a busy signal each and every time. Now, I am not an engineer, but if you have several people expressing the exact same problems, there is something wrong. WINGSTUFF, I will be contacting you so we can work something out. AS for a rating, can I give it a 0/5.!!!!! |

I just returned from a 3500 mile trip from Colorado to Cali and back. The rear E4 handled wonderfully. I did not put the front E4 on the bike thinking my old E3 could make the trip. On the way to Cali I had 5 hours of crosswind in Wyoming and cupped the right side of the E3 on the front. So, even though I have a new front E4 in my garage, I had to put one on in Cali. NOT HAPPY! With only 500 miles on the front tire I hit the grooved cement on I 80 and the E4 was trying to find a track. If you don't like the classic wing wobble, you really are not going to like the E4 on the front. I was going 70 when it started, slowed quickly, but could not find any speed that remedied the problem. When I hit a buffeting wind in Salt Lake City the next day it made the ride real interesting on the grooved cement. Different speeds, temperatures, states, it is all the same with the E4 on grooved cement. Talking to the service manager at my authorized Honda shop while it was in for a rear brake recall he stated many are having this same experience. I have read other reviews from riders who say they are not. |
