| Just installed a pair of these grip end weights today. Love the bold look that they bring to the handlebars. At he same time I replaced the chrome rings with a new pair of gold ones which gives the grips even more distinction. I will ride tomorrow and report whether I concur with all of the positive reviews. Most likely I will agree. |
| I just replaced the original chrome rings with a pair of gold ones. I like the distinctive contrast that the gold makes on the ends of the grips. I hope that that gold luster lasts for a long time. For the price, replacing them after a reasonable length of time won't be an issue. So 5 Stars for now. |
| It's a very basic cup holder and works perfectly. To be honest, I keep the foam cozy in it most of the time and use it as a cubby for small items like my phone or earbuds when I'm running errands around town. |
| I have the HPS-11 with rake kit and electric option. I love to look way over the top of the screen around town and in the twisties but find that the sweetspot above 60mph on the highway is about two inches below eye level. The electric option means that I can go between those two heights on the fly in anout 4 seconds. |

I have ridden with the Windbender system for three years now. I love looking over the top of the windshield but at higher speeds (60mph and up) the head rattling turbulence would eventually force me to raise the shield and look through it. With the new rake brackets and a HPS-11 I can look 6" over the screen at speeds under 60 and 2" over at higher speeds. It actually gets calmer the faster you go! Another rider described it as being like riding in a convertable and that is exactly right. The Windbender HPS with rake kit & electric option is not cheap but is by far the best money I've spent on my wing. |

I had onstalled the cigarette lighter socket in the left glovebox OEM location and use this to power this usb plug. I have a long cable to run up to a RAM Aquabox mounted on the left handlebar for my smartphone. I use the Scala Rider head set mounted on my helmet, to bluetooth to the smartphone for hands free safe riding. Ride Safe |
| I found that wind deflection was excellent and really helped improve warmth during cooler weather riding. My issue is durability. Installed September of 2011. They developed star cracks some time ago. I assume hit by a rock or something. They stayed on fine but when I noticed the crack they didn't look as sharp. Hardly noticeable, but still! Then last wash I pulled on one and it split apart. I won't replace due to poor quality plastic. |
| I meant Plexus, nit Nexus. My bad. |

Ist off, I didn't buy these from Wingstuff. My local dealership is owned by a close friend, and he asked me to be a test for these tires. The new 888s are supposed to get better mileage (I was happy with my 880s getting 13k-16k), and shed water better. Out the door, mine hummed. And I felt a vibration from the front tire I never experienced with the 880's I have always bought. A new tire should have NO vibration or make any noise. Mine do. But then I looked again at the tread pattern. I attribute the noise to the new pattern. It does change over varying road surfaces. And yes, I pulled in the clutch at varying speeds to make sure it wasn't engine vibration. Same issue. Loud, and annoying. The positive is, like any good Metz, they stick like glue in a turn, but any good tire should. Bottom line, if this is the future of Metz, the tire I have run for 30 years (yes 30 years going back to my GL1200s), I will have to consider switching to Bridgestones, whch seem to be the GL1800 most popular. |

I installed my 1st F4 on my 2004 in 2010. I was VERY careful cleaning it. Never used a spray cleaner (instructions said propellents held contaminants). Used a clean tight weave terry cloth towel with the edges cut off so no seams to scratch the screen. Used a mix of alcohol (no, not whiskey, THAT was for me!) and water. It scratched horribly to the point all I focused on was all the fine scratches. I gave the item a very poor rating. Out of the blue, in January of 2013, the F4 sales manager e-mailed me. He was concerned, and we ended up talking on the phone. He believed my problem, and felt I may have had a faulty screen. Since it had been a few years, it was not under warranty, but he stood by the product, and allowed me to buy a new one at a VERY discounted cost, a bit lower than a stock Honda screen. He also told me not to use a cloth towel, but to use paper toweling. AND, to use fingernail polish remover occasionally to strip the screen to factory. I promised to return the bad one. As it happens, I backed over the old one (I had laid it behind my car...DUH!) and shattered it. So it went into the garbage can. Now, as to the new one. After two full years, I am VERY happy with the new F4. It has one 1" hairline scratch that was my fault. I now have the perfect way to clean the screen. In a hand spray bottle, mix a few ounces of fingernail polish, some alcohol, and then fill with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2...basically water but it dissolves bug bits in a heartbeat). I let the spray sit for a bit, and softly wipe clean with paper toweling. The a dry paper towel to clean off residue. I use a clean tight weave terry cloth to buff it until slick. Every few cleanings, I lightly spray Nexus on a paper towel and lightly run it over the screen, and use the tight weave terry cloth (oh, and never use fabric softener when washing), to softly buff. Works like a freaking charm. Amazingly clear and the screen is slick and sheds water like a frog's butt. And once a month, I wet a paper towel with fingernail polish, and strip the screen. I have absolutely zero scratches after 2 years, I mean ZERO, and 100% total clarity Sorry this was so long, but I wanted pass on F4 cleaning that has worked for me. I also want to say, a big thank you to F4 for standing behind their product. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is, well, it is very expensive, otherwise I would give it a 5. |
| Added these about a year ago. Very comfortable and adds to the look. Easy to install. |
