| Got home a little early today and took a short 50 mile ride. I took the stick on weights off. I had 1/4 oz on the front and 1/2 oz on the back. The beads seem to work well. The ride consisted of several miles of twisties as well as a stretch of interstate at 80 mph. No noticeable vibration. Now I cannot say how well they really work as my tires were in balance from the start. I can say that with the stick on weights removed and the beads installed the ride was still smooth and the bike did stick in the curves great. |
| I'm staying with the G709. Even at 18,000 miles it is still " road worthy " and wear is pretty even compared to the others I have had. I can feel the front end wobble a bit more so that's my cue to start over again. |
| These deflectors work very well. My hands are a lot warmer in the cold weather and the buffeting has decreased. I like the ratchet system because there really is no chance they will move no matter how fast you go. I want to purchase the lower fairing deflectors to complete the set. |
| Make sure you center it properly. The double sided tape is like gorilla glue. |
| I just installed these on a new Bridgestone rear tire and also on a Bridgestone front with 5k on it. I did the install by removing the valve cores and installing a piece of longer tubing than comes with the kit over the stems. I then poured about 1/3 of the tubing full of the beads and applied air with a compressor set at about 20 psi.I had to work with them a little but they did install relativity easy. I actually saw this on a u Tube video. I have not really rode any miles yet but am expecting good results. |

I bought this windshield to replace my stock windshield on my 2012 because at 6'2", I was getting too much buffeting when on the highway with it set at its tallest position. The extra tall windshield was the ticket. I transferred my vent with no problem. I should have made this exchange a year ago. I can just barely see over the top of the shield if I straighten my back and crane my neck slightly. This will be good when it rains or when my shield fogs up. |
| Bought these for my wife as motorcycle gear for her is hit or miss... in this case it was a hit. She usually takes a size 8.5 and since it doesn't come in half sizes between 8 and 9, I bought her the size 8. The 8 was a perfect fit with a little extra space for her toes to move in...the 9 would have been way to big. The only initial discomfort was trying the shoes on because the laces were too tight which made the area around her ankle uncomfortable... once the laces were loosened, they were fine! |
| great product replaced one handel broke!! (dishwasher)may not be safe???? |
| I purchased this backrest for my new 2013 goldwing to be installed by the dealer ,when the warranty and service manager told me that if I have this backrest installed on my heated seats that it would void my warranty on the heated seat and heated hand grips because they are iterconected. If for any reason in the future that you have any trouble with your seat or hand grips during the warranty period Honda will not honor the warranty because the seat has been cut to install the backrest. I had to return the backrest and purchase a diferant backrest in order to maintain my warranty on the seat and hand grips. However if your warranty is already expired then this is a very good high quality backrest. Good luck! |
| How is this for stupidity: installed the backrest backward. The backrest folds backword not foreward. It still deserves a 5 star. |
| Read the instructions and search the internet for additional info. The template that came with my spoiler was incorrect. I cut out the template and tried to match it to the indicated points under the trunk lid, they did not match. The side of the template says it measures 215mm but when I measured, it was only 205mm. Searched the internet for help and found a template that came to 210mm. Gave up with the template, held my breath and drilled thru the 3 indicated dimples on the left and 2 of dimples on the right. Started off with a small drill and work up to the 7/16 hole needed. After drilling the first holes I stuck toothpicks thru the holes just to make sure they lined up with the holes in the spoiler... everything lined up perfectly. Took about 2.5 - 3 hours not including the internet searching. I installed this on a 2010 GL1800. |

I purchased this system back in July of 2011. Maybe I got a good system or better than some of the other reviews listed here. I just today (3/23/14) replaced the Sensor batteries in all 4 units. Not bad in my book for 2.5 years. I can live with that. And as far as the unit reading a little difference in air pressures I almost expected that. Mine are about 2psi off. So, I compensate for that in the settings for the Hi/Lo pressures and then I know to subtract 2 psi from the readings. So, if my manual gauge tells me 38 I know the unit is going to read 40. I don't have a problem doing that math in my head as I'm going down the road. I also enjoy knowing there is pressure in the tires be it hi or lo. Also, knowing the temperatures is helpful as well. This unit has worked well for me and I cannot complain. Especially like knowing or at least being able to monitor the trailer tires also. All in all I am very happy with my purchase and will continue to use it as long as I can. P.s. I've always had metal valve stems on my bike so maybe this has helped me keep the system running well? I hope this review is helpful to someone. David Dallas, Texas |
