| Didn't get these from wingstuff---HOWEVER---I contacted AL at Add On ABOUT FIT. the Passenger intercom cord has to be relocated and he told me that bracket would cover "holes" where it went-IT DOES NOT !!! it leaves very plainly the bottom hole in site !!!! They also DO NOT fold inward either |

Got these yesterday and they fit well. Should keep things from sliding and banging around. My only complaint is the backing. It is made up of a plastic/rubber material covered with cone-shaped spikes. In a car mat, those spikes grip your carpeting. In the hard trunk and saddlebag bottoms, they slip. |

I had one of these on my other, much lighter bike. I park on lots of soft or unknown surfaces, so this is a must have. After checking the fit (perfect), I added a little RTV to the pad (not in the instructions), slid it into place and then tightened down the set screw. The RTV is probably overkill, but it can't hurt. Very solid and clears everything when the stand is up. |
| 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. |
