I had researched Helibars for quite a while, and took the leap after a friend's funeral. I was #2 in a bike procession to the cemetery, whose entrance was a 90° turn with an immediate uphill grade of broken asphalt. Negotiating the turn on my ’08 GL1800 at a slow 5(?) mph, PLUS the ramp up, put a tweak on the forks which gave a shake and nearly dumped the two of us. (I don’t think she knew, but it definitely startled me.) So I figured I wanted additional control if I was ever in that situation again. The couple hundred miles I’ve put on the bars so far have been enjoyable. I immediately noticed more control during slow turns, such as doing a left turn across traffic from a dead stop. Being of medium frame and not having especially long arms, I’m now able to bring the bars back and twist them in for a much more comfortable ride. I did the install myself. I’d give the included instructions an A-, wanting more detail in some of the directions (such as where those damn securing clips are located on the electrical connections). I definitely recommend having the bike’s maintenance manual nearby since some of the installation instructions did not work at all (such as the removal of the instrument dash – no use of a card to pop the speaker screens on this model (since they’re bolted to the inner face of the dash)). Download and read the instructions while you’re waiting for the delivery, to determine if you feel confident to do the work yourself. It’s not rocket science, but I did need to use an air powered impact wrench to loosen the original handlebar bolts. Most of the frustration came during the break down process, versus the install. The parts were well packaged, and the powder coated finish is nice. A well designed product that I think you will definitely enjoy. Save up your quarters … it’s worth it. DavidE |

I have had at least 4 different brands and styles of fog/driving lights installed on my Wings over the years and these are the best I have found so far. I love the LED DRLs, which I use in the daytime. The driving lights are bright enough to provide good fill light and dramatically increase conspicuity. Install is straightforward (watch my YouTube video) and the turn signal feature is just another bonus that you won't find on any other lights. I have always had great luck with SoCalMotoGear products. |
| I had my mirrors installed more than five years ago. These mirrors were one of the first items installed when I purchased my bike. Not only do the mirrors perform well the built in turn signals adds a sense of beauty and an element of safety. The lights embedded in the mirrors flashes at eye level of the vehicles to your left or right. Motorist often spoke highly of the how the mirror lights capture their attention. With over five years of use the mirrors still maintain off the shelve reflectiveness. I have cleaned them several times with no degradation of quality. |
| Looks good, built nicely, seems like it will do as any... Priced great, recommended... |
| Great OEM oil I've always bought but a couple bucks less each than buying locally... OEM, synthetic, any other brand- what really matters is regularly changing your oil and not running on dirty oil or filters... |
| Listed as the same size and as a match for their Chrome Star Washer but these are smaller and not the same diameter. |
| Rubber washers are not the same size (diameter) as Chrome piece... |
| got these about a month ago was waiting to put on due to end of life for my Dunlop elite e garbage tires . Thesewill be tested with a new pair of Bridgestones. iv e had my 2012 for 4 seasons and over 47,000 miles including original tires this is my 3rde set of stones and ive had 1 elite3 front and 2 rears last rear was extreamly disappointing with only 8500 miles on it so back to original but will have to amend review later as Minnesota means storage time for me as soon as my girl is back from the shop for tires and the brake recall they just got parts for. |
| I bought the Chrome Mini-Boards to match the he stock rear foot pegs on my F6B. The stock foot pegs are very uncomfortable for riding more than 30 minutes on the Freeway. I installed these Mini-Floor Boards, then rode over to Santa Cruz (from San Jose) for Breakfast. Very comfortable, except I had Boards mounted in the center hole, I had to upshift with the side of my boot. When I got back, I mounted the Boards in the First Hole, moving the Boards backward, and at a angled position (the heal is up one notch higher). Perfect! I can now shift gears perfectly, and my feet don't get tired. Definitely a better riding position! Well worth the Money, and the Quality is Superb! |
| This is my third gold wing and third set of Muth mirrors. Easy install and the sequential lights are great. I got the blue glass for better glare protection. |

If you work on your own bike like I do this product is the best investment you will ever make on your bike. Then again, if you are the type of person always running to the dealer over every little thing, still purchase this item just to see how much so could have saved if you just take the time to simply read your manual.

Ordered these as they do look like they will enhance the side of the bike fairing (40th Aniv edition). However, I have to say they look extremely TACKY and of poor quality in addition to this and more importantly, they do not fit into the recess in the fairing and stand proud. I really like the idea of lighting the emblem but these are not the answer, do not waste your money!! You can have mine for half what I paid for them and you pay the postage. |
