I think, it is a great Product für Gold Wings. No Scratching until now!! Only, the Rain must better run away. Thank You. Dieter V. from Mönchengladbach, Germany |

I am posting this as a rebuttal to all of the negative comments. I have included a bit of my experience to qualify the information I have posted. Not all of us ride the same, run the correct tire pressure, upgrade the bike's suspension, ride 50,000+ miles a year, compete in motorcycle Top Gun's or Rodeos, and push the bike to her limits. But I do. I have been on the cover of GWRRA's Gold Book and full page in multiple Wing World's. In my mind, 5,000 miles on an ME880 boils down to 2 things... Simple underinflation or a true defect. I am a multiple Expert Level Top Gun Champion. I live 30 minutes from Deals Gap in TN and run it side saddle when bored due to heavy traffic. I run Traxxion Dynamic's strongest setup for the wing including their fork brace and billet triple tree. The point is I know my machine very well and I pay very close attention to her needs, like air pressure. While I do love the ME880 rear, I can not stand a matched set. I also LOVE the Bridgestone g709 front but again, loathe a matched set. For me, a rider who demands the highest levels of performance from his wing... Stoner g709 front and Metz me880 is a perfect combination. Any rider who says it is easy to break the rear end loose has other issues than the rear tire. It is not the tire causing the drift. I wrote some background information so you understand when I give my view, it is from experience running close to 200,000 miles on the Metzler me880 in a very short time. I am not an armchair quarterback who doesn't know what he is talking about. I didn't get my information from reading about some other rider's experience or some forum on the internet. At the end of the day, consider the source of what you are reading. |
| i purchased a side-stand pad it it vibrated of small screw not very good |
| Very good product for the money except when I turn all the way right the radio mute/ tuning button hits the windshield. But, can't complain, 1/4 of the price of some on the market. You can buy a new one every 5 years and still be cheaper! |
| I am back to purchase this coolant as it stood the summer test here, deep in the Palmetto State. My coolant gauge never went above the halfway mark, whereas whatever coolant was in the bike when i bought it, always sat just above the halfway mark. So i am convinced that this is coolant for my Wing. . . |
| I was disappointed with the way this works. As mentioned in the other reviews, it only puts a light on in the center between the buttons, one light between the two on the left and another between the two on the right as well as near the heating control dials for the seat and grip heaters. It does show where they are but not what they are. That being said they are not terribly expensive and I'll get used to them. |
| I purchased the anodized black highway pegs directly from Rivco because they are located 1 hour from my house. I was able to see first hand how they work and install. The owner put his 2014 GL1800 on the center stand and had me try the pegs out! My first reaction, "PERFECT". Once home, I had them installed within 10 minutes. See my review at www.v-twinventures.blogspot.com you will not regret these highway pegs!! |
| Does anyone know where you can get a grommet for this ? |
| Great fit on my 2015. I mean fits perfectly. You'll have to pull just a bit, but once on, it is nice and taught. I hooked to the footpegs. If this holds up to rain (have yet to find out), then I will give it 6 stars. |
| Nice rack and does its job functionally, but the finish is not so great. Welds look like a kid put it together. If it holds its chrome without flaking/rusting, I'll be happy enough. |
| I heard people saying this helps keep remote from banging on bike. Use a single key and keep remote with spare key in your jacket. Funny how people protect their key and not their own skin. Better to carry the keys separate so you don't lose both. Keep keychain with extra key in a ziplock elsewhere. This $0.50 part is sold at one heck of a mark-up! |

Last year I picked up a wobble that quickly turned to a "controlled crash" coming home from a ride on 2010 Wing. The first thing I turned to in my research was the steering bearings. While replacing the bearings, I rebuilt the forks, and installed Traxxion progressive springs. Installing the bearings outside of a dealer requires a few special tools and being an experienced mechanic. If in doubt take it to the dealer. I installed my bearings without a driver by freezing the steering stem in dry ice, and using the old races as a "driver" for tapping the new bearings in. Now, my Wing is a whole new ride. Tight right turns are now a breeze. As with all the other posts, I agree that Honda dropped the ball with their ball bearings. Please note, these bearings may not solve all front end wobbles, I sincerely feel that one should replace their Honda bearings with All Balls!!!!! |
