| Its been just over a year and now I have 8,084 miles on these. I put these in a 2010 GL1800 Base model. Everything is still the same as my last update. No front end sagging, no front tire cupping, no seals leaking, and no complaints. I have one shim installed and used Honda S8 oil, 10w. This is definitely a excellent upgrade for the budget minded rider. It probably will not match up to the $1000+ other upgrade, but I think comes close to it. I highly recommend these Progressive mono tubes if you are replacing springs and seals when they are worn out. 5 stars for this product. |
| Good looking, easy install. The bottom screws on and the top attaches with two sided tape. The instructions tell you to hold the top out as you screw in the bottom so that it won't stick. This isn't possible as the tape is at the very end of the piece and you have to slide the end of the piece under the upper body parts. Just don't press on the piece, line up the screw holes and get the screws started, once the screws are secured you can move the top if need be, then press and hold it into place. |
| Great looking, very easy install, but once you do this the boomerang and battery box covers can't be far behind leading to passenger floorboard side covers, chrome foot pegs, mounting plates and chrome floorboard covers. Adds up fast but looks really good. |
| Need to show to install on a trike it's different |
| Necessary to finish off the look if you have chromed the rest of the side. |

I chromed the whole side, battery box, transmission cover, boomerang cover etc. So these are necessary to complete the look. Nice piece, good looking, 20-30 minutes should do both sides. |
| As I chromed the whole side of the bike these needed to be done also. It was an easy install, did the mounting brackets also. They are good looking and appear well made, I have a couple of hundred mile on them with no problems as yet. It might just be me but I haven't noticed any problems with leg position or with distance to brake pedal or shifter. |

These are fairly easy to bolt on. They look very nice on the bike. There is a lot of adjustibility, which is both good and bad. Good because you should be able to get them right where you want them. Bad because it can take a lot of time figuring out where exactly that is. I'm still trying to get them dialed in. They appear to be well made and the chrome seems good. I gave them 4 stars because they are about one hundred dollars more than they should be. These pegs will drop a couple of inches when you put your feet on them allowing you to stretch out, and they raise back up automatically when you remove your feet, giving you good ground clearance in corners. If you decide you don't care for this option, instructions and parts are provided to make them rigid. |

Easy install. Have a couple hundred miles on them and they make a noticeble difference, for the better, of the wind on your hands. Can't say about the passenger, didn't have one. |

Finally got warm enough to install. It looks great against the candy red. It has to be the best dollar for dollar upgrade you can make. Under $20.00 and it make a major difference to the look of the back of the bike. |

I put these on my 2008, and i was blown away by the difference they made. I also put in new all balls bearings. My bike handles better than it did when i got it. If you want to improve your ride, I suggest mono tubes and all balls. well worth it!! |

Just an update to my previous review. I now have several hours on the bike with the bars and they are extremely comfortable and if you need change ANY aspect, it is a 10 minute adjustment. As for the installation it was very straightforward and the instructions were easy to follow. There were two things that I did different than the instructions. 1. Instead of alcohol I used Windex to install the left grip. It gives you a bit more time to slide it on and position it correctly and when it dries, it becomes tacky allowing the grip to stick better. (Used to do that on my motocross bikes.) 2. Well because my hands are not very small, it was impossible to re-connect the dash connectors back up and ensure everything was seated properly and the boots were fully installed. So I removed the windshield completely to gain access from the front of the bike and connected everything up. Now I am looking forward to riding a lot more. |
