| I had the same concerns with the increased torque put on the receiver after purchasing this hitch late 2011. I really like how the receiver hardware attaches to the bike completely hidden. All seemed well with the hitch until I went to the New England area last summer riding two up with my and the wife's supplies for a week. Granted the trailer was loaded but I did try to put the heavier items in the back to reduce tongue weight; however due to the toll the harsh New England winters some of the roads were in terrible shape. (We took scenic backroads and not the superslab) Upon returning home. I noticed the steel plates that good the receiver were bent thus putting the ball about 3" lower than original height. I took the receiver off and be t it back as best I could but I am still concerned with the issue that bent it in the first place, the extended tongue of the insert. Even though I love how this hitch mounts to the bike due to the receiver bending I would not purchase this hitch again until it is truly made for a Gen II 1800. Yes, I need to call Wingstuff and discuss my concerns with them; so far they have had great customer service. |
| Very nice piece. So nice, I ride with my passenger boards down so they are not covered up. Easy install, just three screws on each side. Very please with this purchase. |

I've been through three of these, and all of them have failed after one year of use. The common failure mode is the display either goes blank or becomes unreadable. On the second and third units I used the protective cover, but that had no effect. One of three units had poor pressure reading accuracy. The readings drifted, readings were referenced against a very precise pressure gauge. The product has the right idea, and very useful when it works. The fact is the unit is designed poorly and appears to have low quality display and electronics. In the end I gave up and just resigned myself to manually checking pressures. |
| These vents are a piece of crap don't waste your money |
| I got my windshield today and with a little knowledge from Rob from Colorado, this thing was installed in 15 minutes! The ride is much better with less wind in the face. Great product! |

After reading the reviews, I was hesitant to order the cowling.However, the one on my bike had been broken since I bought it, so I figured this would be an improvement. I had to remove the small chrome tabs on the outer corners of the cowling to make it fit. Next, I got the 2 side screws in but left them loose. The center screw , as has been mentioned, did not line up. So, I used a small jack and with a little pressure was able to line up the center screw. As you are doing this, make sure you are not pushing the cowling into the hoses, or causing it to bind somewhere it shouldn't. I tightened it all the way then went to the outside screws and made sure everything was lined up alright before tightening them all the way. As this model and year is out of production, we can not anticipate any changes to the existing stock of these after market parts. Because other folks had posted their comments, I was able to follow their guidelines and with some finesse the job was completed in about 35 mins. We can not expect this part to be like a plug and play item. Bikes will vary slightly from bike to the other. It was excellent quality and really looks good on my GL1500. |

| They went on no problem and look great but I'm 5 10 with a 31 inch inseam and the reach forward was too much for me. I ordered the 4 inch arms and all is good. It would be nice if the extensions came in black. |
| I have used dozens of quick releases over the years and this is by far the WORST one I have had. I would give it a zero rating if that were possible. The metal half of the unit is well built, but the black plastic is crap. First of all, it was shipped to me with no slot in the black plastic loop. How did they expect me to put the nylon loop of my helmet strap through a closed loop? The helmetsinc.com website had no instructions. After seeing the photos on wingstuff, I had to cut the slot in the black plastic myself. Then while slipping the helmet's nylon strap loop over it, the plastic broke. Ten dollars wasted. The design is good, other than the cheap black plastic used. If it broke so easily trying to install it, would it hold if it was needed in a crash? Don't waste your money on this one. |
| I have no reason not to like these wife loves them so everybody is HAPPY. |
