After taking a direct hit from a piece of scrap drywall to the front of my Wing last week the right-side hand-wings were also hit. They did NOT break! A good investment. PS-as for the loosing issue, I also experienced this with the right-side hand-wing, a drop of Loctite solved the problem. not a big issue. They do provide a lot of air to rider and passenger in hot weather. |
| After taking a direct hit from a piece of scrap drywall to the front of my Wing last week the air-wings were also hit. They did NOT break! They were hit so hard the bracket was bent back a little but no damage to the air-wings. A good investment as I feel air-wings are a must-have item and they held up to impact. |
| Just installed these on my 2010 Wing.. Was a very straight forward install.. Looks just like it was installed by the factory.. Gives more light during the day to be seen and lights up the sides of the road at night... Would buy again.. |
| I installed the chrome levers in 2010, they worked OK most of the time till 2011. Then I couldn't get them to engage the cruise. I first put the OEM Levers back on and the cruise worked fine. The fix I tried works. I pressed out the brass bushing and used the OEM piece that engages the cruise buttons with the chrome levers, just press the two parts back together. It's been 3 years now and still working great. I do like the looks and feel of these levers. |
| Great addition, provides lots of extra storage space without having to tow a trailer. Was easy to install, very sturdy. Bag is sturdy and has an easy attachment system. Used it recently on a 6000 mile trip was great to have. Once home, remove the receiver, replace the reflector and the bike looks stock. |
| Great looking and great feeling! These black pegs are just what the blacked out machine needs! Installation is totally easy! |
| Gives it a nice finish look, easy in stall, just another peace of chrome that has to be polish. Looks good |
| Gives the bike a nice look with the lights on or off. A person can't have enough lights on there bike to be seen by four wheel vehicles. |

So I'm a new 2014 GL1800 owner (but old rider) and I'm just surfing through WingStuff looking for things to spend money on when I come upon "Baby Buggy Bumpers". Remember, I'm new to the 'wing, so I've gotta read about this. I'm not surprised when I read that they help prevent trunk lid abrasion, because when I took my bike on an "inaugural" 4,000 mile jaunt down south, I noticed this abrasion every time I unloaded the trunk for the night. To eliminate the problem, I went to Home Depot, bought some Velcro dots and just applied them (felt side only) to the chaffing points inside the lip of the trunk lid - there are 14 little dots that get rubbed into the lid, so locating the right spots is not difficult. Clean the lid with alcohol first. No fuss, no muss, 10 minute job, problem solved. And, absolutely no problem opening or closing the lid, although it doesn't pop up when the remote is triggered ... this should be my biggest problem in life. Extra benefit - I've you don't like what the Velcro does, take it off and the drill your holes for the bumpers. Anyway, even though I didn't buy these little bumpers, I did read about the problems with them. For those of you who don't like to overthink things (like me), here's my brief take. Why anyone would want to line up a template, drill 4 holes into a $1,000 trunk lid, struggle to pull the little buggers through said holes and THEN have to shave off some material just to make it all work is beyond me. These bumpers seem like over engineering to solve a simple problem at it's finest. But hey, that's just me and I hope they do work well for you. |

So, I read the reviews and was a little concerned about all of the comments around problems in lifting the bike up onto the stand. But, I figured what the hell ... I really do need something exactly like this to be able to store my 'wing in a very tight garage, especially since my wife said her 'vette isn't going anywhere. I received the device yesterday, and in my humble estimation, it is perfect. First of all, I did what I never do and actually read the directions, which is why I now know that raising the rear suspension to it's highest point makes loading easier. Second, I learned that placing a simple 2 x 8 under the rear wheel and reversing onto it makes loading the dolly easy - no harder that putting the bike on the center stand in a parking lot. I didn't have to build a special stand or little ramp ... just backed onto the 2 x 8. I have the stock stand - no "special" center stand and this method worked perfectly. Not only that, I did it 4 times just to confirm I wasn't just lucky on the first try. As far as moving the thing around the garage and having the bike tilt or fall off, I can't even imagine how you would do that if you were just being careful. First off, push the thing slowly ... how much time are you saving by trying to push it as fast as you can? If you do this and do hit a pebble (you should have swept the floor first), the momentum will be insufficient to tip the bike. It will just stop and you'll have to remove the obstacle. How to move it. I don't know if the guy in the video is actually a rider or not, but I would highly recommend that you don't push your 900 lb. motorcycle around by the spoiler, especially by pushing down to raise the front wheel - that is unless you want to buy a $1,000 trunk lid. Instead. I would say to only move it with one hand on the handlebar and one on the passenger grip. And, despite other claims, I found that pushing or pulling really doesn't make much difference. To unload the bike, you can follow the cumbersome manufacturers instructions by tightening down the difficult to reach thumbscrews on the wheels or you could do it the easy way. How's that? Put the 2 x 8 back under the rear wheel, put two wedges (you might have to make these - I used paper wedges that printers use to adjust stacked of paper) under each of the forward wheels and just push the damn bike off the dolly. No muss, no fuss. Remember to readjust your suspension before riding. This is a great little tool but at first I thought it was a little pricey. Wrong. This thing is built like a tank and my guess is that it will easily outlast me on this earth. I rate it a 5 star "buy" |
| This was very easy to install on my 2010 with the included instructions which have specific instructions for Goldwings. I installed it back in Feb 2013. It worked great until back in December when I started having my left turn signal flashing fast intermittently. My right was working OK. At one point both left and right signals were blinking fast. Finally got around to checking it out while it was still flashing fast. I swapped the wires between the turn signal wires and the fast blinking moved to the other side. So that to me confirmed that it is the unit and not a bad connection. I'll go ahead and have to order one more to hope that it was just a bad unit I got. If the second one goes out again that quickly, I'll move to a different brand. |
| I like it , But First one , rubber separated after about 10.000 mi , Noticed 4 of the six screws holding rubber to Plastic were missing and metal bracket under screws starting to rust , bought a new one ,super glued tips of screws and seal coated seam , Lock those screws in !!! before install |
