I have a gold wing trike bike. Since I sit where my feet don't touch the ground, I get cramps in my legs especially in city driving with frequent stoplight stops. I purchased the Kuryakyn backrest. I took it out of the box and because my bike was getting it's oil change and physical, I tried to envision how it went together and made one simple little mistake. I tried removing the spindle thinking it had to be reattached on the other side of the bar and found myself looking at three ball bearings and a lot of grease on my hands. Dumb move on my part. I finally got it back together and the Honda Service guy said it fits through one of the three slots and by moving the handle it locks into place. It seems really secure and comfortable and can't wait until I go on a long trip with a comfortable ride. Feels great so far. Rob Cowan Deerfield, IL |
| I added this to my '10 Wing and the passengers seem to like having a second option for foot position. Something further away allowing for more straightening of the leg would be nice, but this is still better than not having it. |
| I bought two of these Kewl Vests one for me and one for the wife. We have used these for the past three summers and they work great even in humidity, but not as effective. Once the temps reach 100 degrees you will have to stop often to re-soak due to quick evaporation, but they work! Great product two thumbs up! |
| I am very careful when checking tire pressures, all the movement takes place right where it passes through the wheel, causing it to fail prematurely. Get the all metal ones. |
| great deal. took only about 30 min to install, only confusion I had was the instructions said to use a 5/8 paddle bit for holes and the kit came with a 1/2 inch. I measured the spacers, and you need to drill a 5/8 inch hole. Great looking, now I need to see if they really work. :-) |
| I bought them because I have never liked the black headlight trim pieces. I followed Larry's advice and cut the trim piece after breaking the black piece out for the third hard to reach screw. They look great but plan on a long process of loosing the nose fairing and re-installing. I also replaced the air filter since I had it that far apart. |

As you can tell from my previous review below, I like the dolly. So much so I bought another one for my son's VFR. I was surprised to see that his was painted a bright yellow (nice) and had different caster/wheels on it than mine from 3 years ago. My original (?) dolly has the dual wheel with the dark grey colour stand. It moves around fine. However I decided to put my Goldwing on the new one with a single wheel (as shown in yellow/photo) and WOW...it is even easier to roll around! It's like the dolly has power steering now! As usual, be very careful to have an absolutely clean floor when moving it around. And when you want to change directions (i.e. from moving the bike sideways to going backwards), gently push it so it allows the wheels on the dolly to realign otherwise your bike CAN go flying off the dolly...not fun! Always keep your sidestand down for precaution and if you find it moves when putting the bike on the dolly, use a wedge like I do sometimes. I also ensure to put the bike up on the dolly using my heavy duty riding boots as it helps to reduce the pressure point of the centre stand tab where you press down. I can't lift my bike up with my running shoes on for instance. With the amount of weight (900+ lbs) on it on two very small points of contact, I am extremely pleased to see absolutely no deflection/bending of the platform whatsoever. A bit more effort of course to get the bike on the dolly but there's no way I could store 2 bikes in my tiny garage with 2 cars without these versatile and well built dollys (dollies?). And remember: MADE IN THE USA. |
| My only gripe is the spacers were to small so I could not put the plastic clamp cover back on. |
| Got this for my co-pilot. It is nice and can quickly be added and removed. It is sturdy, keeps bottled water and different size cups. |
| Had these on for a while and never reviewed. Its been about a year and they still look brand new. Easy to install and they look good. |
| Installed on a 2012. Took about 45 minutes and the fit was good. They are very sturdy and they do not have to swing out to open the trunk. Looked at the chrome becuase of earlier post and everything looked good. Happy with the purchase. |
| The install took about 30 minutes. Take your time removing the trim. I replaced the hand wings for better protection from the wind and it does the job. |
