| Before buying I looked around & made a call to Klock Werks , I was told that being 6'3" that the 16" would work well for me...... Wrong! I have to look way down the road to not be looking at the top curve. The curve as you would think has a lot of distortion. Other then that it looks good & is made well. I will contact wing stuff & see what my options are and do a 2nd review later. |

This was mounted on an 87 GL1200 Aspencade Total job only took 20 minutes including emptying all the junk in the trunk . AS with most bent tube assemblies , a bit of hand tweaking was required to line up a few holes-no big deal. I did not even have to unhook the wires ; just remove 4 bolts , roll the trunk onto the seat , install the rack , and bolt the trunk back with original bolts . best thing is that you'd have to look really hard to even see it . This moved the trunk/backrest back 2". Just enough to keep my passengers belt buckle out of my back . From the instructions, the 1100 requires a bit more work: complete removal of the trunk and drilling 4 new holes |

First, don't tell me that I put them together wrong, because you can't. The left peg is 1/2" closer than the right. The adjustment holes are 1" spacing. So, it is off 1/2" no matter what. No, not a big deal. But, what would you think if Honda's OEM pegs were offset that same 1/2". You would think it was pretty stupid. The pegs are nice otherwise. This low rating is because not only are the mounts (specifically, the left mount) drilled wrong, but Rivco doesn't care. That's pretty frustrating. For what I paid for these pegs, they should be and can be built correctly! So when you are forking out the big bucks thinking that you are getting a precise quality item - think again ... These are great for the guy with a shorter left leg! |
| Just completed the set with these and I must say they work great. We have less wind to deal with and it makes our rides that much more comfortable. I should have added these years ago. The fall is a bit cool in the Northern Illinois and I think these Air Wings will make those cold rides a lot more comfortable. |
| Just bought a new Ultimate for the 03 a few weeks ago. I bought through Ultimate seats for the options (black with croc Inlays). Wow! this is a nice seat. The wife loves that has more room and sits up straighter. The Midrider was perfect for me with my 30 inch inseams. This seat is a lot of money but worth every penny if you are doing long all day rides. This one replaces my Rode Sofa. The rode sofa was a nice seat too, but after 10 years and 40,000 miles it was time to replace it. |
| It may be psychological, I do believe the ride was smoother. I like the science behind using balance beads over lead weights. Leads weights are good at one speed. Let me make this clear, I ride a 1500 cc motorcycle and I don't really care about fuel mileage. I don't keep a precise eye on it. A general idea for monitoring the state of engine tune. If my tires wear even throughout their tread life, the balance has been good. If using leads weights you would have to get the wheel rebalanced after half the tread life was worn off. I am on my third set of tires with the balance beads installed. I am sold on them now. |
| GL1500d the new set of handles from add-on. As I was testing them today, it was a hot day and before coming home my right front caliper seized up. I waited for the caliper to cool down, the wheels started to turn again. I talked to another person that had a GL1500, and he asked if I had replacement aftermarket handles on the bike. He said that sometimes what happens is the little round knob on the brake handle pushes slightly in on the master cylinder and causes the brake caliper to grab a little as it gets hot. The solution that I came up with was to ground down the round nub that presses into the brake master cylinder and make it a little bit flatter profile like the original Factory GL 1500. The handle turned out to work excellent. The caliper does not grab any more and everything is much better! That's the only fault that I found with the handles it is the slight profile imperfection on the brake handle. other than that, the feel is great! They don't hurt the inside your hands like the Factory ones do! |
| Have owned for 1 year. Not for heavy use or for a wide variety of mugs. It does have a widely adjustable throat area at the top and it won't loosen during a ride but there is nothing to lock in the bottom of the mug--the bottom just sits on the slick platform. The item does swivel to allow for turning corners but if you want the item to return to its original upright position after the turn, it is limited to short to med height mugs with 10-12 oz of liquid in my opinion. It works but is not constructed well enough to hold heavy or taller mugs (it won't break but when it swivels, not only will it not return to its upright position but the next time you turn a corner, it will go further out of adjustment). My suggestion would be to get it if you seldom use a holder and you want your holder to fold away when not in use. Perfect for that type of user and looks nice when folded. Stabilizing hint--leave a short foam pop-can drink holder on the unit at all times (one that also has foam on the bottom) and then insert your mug into that. It will stop the mug from sweating, it will help it not to move sideways near the base when it swivels and it even stabilizes the mug near the adjustable throat area. |
| I have a 2015 Gen 2 Level III. This pad did not slide on as advertised. The instructions tell you to take a file to the underside of the kickstand to file down the castings and then it should slip into place. The problem is not the underside. On my side stand pad it was the right side of the kickstand. I did a little filing, and then took a rubber mallet to it until it was seated in place. The set screw is overkill on my side stand pad, because this thing is NOT coming loose. Once in place it works as advertised. |
| I purchased this as part of a package and it works great with my honda equipment. The instructions could use more work. |

2008 GL1800 I run this on the front of my non-trike Goldwing, direction reversed. 22500k on this one I could probably get a couple more thousand but heading to the Smokies next month. Now if wingstuff just sold a RF CT! |
| These look fantastic. Love the sequential turn signals and the glare reducing blue tint. They adjust MUCH easier than the OEM mirrors also. I was always afraid that I'd break the OEM mirrors but not these. |
