| Great tires. I safely get 18-19K miles out of each set. The Wing handles great with them and seems to stick to wet and dry pavement better with these tires, certainly better than with the E3s. |
| Excellent !!! Why I didn't purchase these sooner… is beyond me .I guess I was just being cheep! a bit pricey well worth it. If I could do it again I would do it a lot sooner |

Nice to have a cup of coffee/juice , but you would think They would offer a straw for the price, drilled the cap added a straw of my own. :) |

Being a auto technician ...changing the K&N on the GL1800 seem no harder then changing a cabin filter on a volvo A different improvement in performance and mostly gas mileage ( Big must!!) |
| Easy installation (5 minutes). Noise vanished. Worth every penny if you take long trips and rely on your phone powered by a 12v plug. |
| Purchased this item in Feb. specifically for a month long trip I had planed in May. Less than one week into the trip the rear tire pressure suddenly registered zero. After making an emergency stop I found no problem with the tire. I contacted Cyclegiant and returned the system. They determined the rear sensor had quit transmitting and sent me a new one. I had very few miles on the system when it malfunctioned. I will update my review if the new sensor proves to be reliable. |
| I bought a set of these last year for my 2009 gold wing before I left on a ride to Alaska. They performed beautiful. The smoothest ride over the life of the tires I have ever had on a gold wing. It was worth the money seeing the look on there faces of the guys at the bike shop when I told them not to balance the tires. I didn't notice any cupping on the worn out tires that I have always seen without these installed. I would recommend these to anyone thinking about buying a set. |
| My brace slipped a little out of alignment and cost me $500 to re and re the fork seals and bushings. The Shop told me to throw it out. If the Goldwing needed a fork brace they'd put one on at the factory. |

I use the butler for two purposes. To be able to have a beverage available. In the morning I put in hot coffee. 3oz of French Vanilla and fill up with Coffee. Around noon or so, I fill it with ice and buy a couple of energy drinks. The ice costs nothing with the purchase. I fill the Butler and sip during my rides. Another important use of the cup is to make sure I get off the bike every 100 miles or so. If you are over 50 you know what I mean 10-100. I think it important to make sure you stretch your legs and being forced to stop at a rest stop for relief accomplishes that. I just upgraded to a 2014 Air Bag model. I checked with Butler and while they did indeed note that it will fit, they also reminded me that Honda also does not recommend any attachments to the handle bars due to the deployment of the air bag. Made sense not to put anything over the top of the air bag---Right?? However I still wanted to use it. I went to Alro Steel and bought some 3/8 plastic like Butler uses. I remade the bracket that mounts to the handlebar higher and a bit wider like 3x5". Then I mounted the cup holder on the back of the new mount vs the front like Baker does it. The result is that the cup and holding bracket is well in front of the handlebar and does not interfere with the windshield when turned to the right. I also made sure the new handlebar mount was wide enough (3") to stop a careless turn of the cup hinge to be over the air bag. the result is that I can use this on a Air Bag model and no part of the mount or cup (except in a tight left turn) is over the bag at any time. I feel pretty comfortable that it is safe. |
| I have not experienced what Tom and others speak of with their opening and being loose. NO QUESTION that on previous models (I have had three other sets on different wings) once the air caught it, SLAM OPEN. My new wings however have a stop type clip that clips on the inside of the mirror and acts as a stop for the wings opening past the effective point. The wings are pretty much either open or closed but that gets back to Tom's review. When I want them, I want them open and the new stops (put these on at Americade two weeks ago)help a lot. I would contact Baker and get some of the stops. think of it as a small bumper on the mirror where the wing hits as a stop so that it does not over open. |
| I have had four wings and put Baker wings on all of them and for a very good reason. You need both side wings. The smaller lower to keep the heat from the engine off of you and the upper to open and drawn in air. Of course during the winter, I reverse which is open. The new ones I just got at Americade were the smoke Polycarbon. I have had my share of breaks or missing parts but Baker has always been fair and even more so in sending me replacement parts. They have not changed a lot over the years so parts are pretty interchangeable but Baker stands behind them all. I will go to the mirror wing section and report on them as well but for me, the mirror wings are just as important as the side wings. Jury still out on the lower wings mounting to the engine guard. I have not quite figured out what they really do and I am not a person to take things on and off the bike due to weather so I have not used yet |
| With the grips being 2" higher than stock, are there any issues with blocking of the mirrors? When I put a closed fist on top of my grips now, all I see is knuckles in my mirrors. Any input is appreciated. |
