| As it should, filters out all the alternator whine in the auxilary audio mode. I have a Zumo 665LM GPS with the built-in XM radio and MP3 player. |
| I was replacing the front wheel bearings on my 2007 GL1800 and noticed the brake pads needed replacement. After looking at the alternative pads, I decided to go with OEM Honda Pads. Heck, I got 43,000 miles out of the originals...why not ? I have to admit, I live out in the country, so I'm not in heavy stop and go traffic much. But 43K is great for a bike this heavy !! |
| These covers look great. Easy to install. I removed the cruise pegs just to make sure I would not scratch the chrome on the covers. The top pieces had very little tape but I guess that was to make them removable when service needs to be done. The lower left side did not quite fit like a glove like the right side did but it still looks great. (It seemed like there was a little gap on the lower front left side so I am not sure if the front piece of tape grabbed?) I am still giving 5 stars for the overall look and ease of installation. I will add a picture soon since I just installed them last night. |
| Do NOT waste your money on this. You only get the two LED lights and nothing else! You don't get the frame as you see in the picture. And it doesn't light up your plate as shown either. And don't get me started about wiring this thing in. If you ever have to change your license plate, you have to disconnect all the wiring and reconnect. And it's not plug and play. Garbage!!! |
| Install was easy. I agree with Buck, move the opening for the overflow hose just a inch forward. |
| After 4 years I had to replace the trumpets. Cost was 76.00. Called Rivco and the person I talked to felt that 4 years was pretty good longevity. Wanted to sell me a new compressor also. Mine still works so I only bought the trumpets. Shipping was quick and replacing them was easy, but I still feel they should last a whole lot longer than 4 years and about 40000 miles. |
| Finally took the time to install these new tubes (setting in the garage for two months). This upgrade is a must for this bike. The route to work and back (round trip 88 miles) each day provides pleanty of obsticles for these tubes to be evaluated. The overall feel and response is great. The railroad tracks are just a little bump in the road, rough patches short or long do not move the bike off your chosen line, I can now use the front brake the way I prefer, and on the open road the front tracks as though the wheel is not even there. Very smooth. I am looking forward to the mountain ride soon. 2006 GL1800 Installed per instructions with one shim. Use the G702 Bridgestone rear, no need to raise the fork tubes for better turn in. Does make the bike taller for more ground clearence. If I purchased a new wing today this upgrade would be part of the package before I ever left the dealer. Ride safe and enjoy the freedom.

| Centramatic balancers were installed on my 2007 Goldwing prior to a 12,000 mile trip through 36 states in June/July of 2013. A new Bridgestone front tire was installed at the same time and the rear Bridgestone tire had about 3500 mile on it. I immediately felt improvement in the ride with reduced wobble in the front at low speed. Currently have 15,395 miles on the front tire with barley discernible cupping wear on the left side of the front tire. I should be able to get at least 3,000 or more miles of use on the front tire before worn down to the wear bars. The rear tire was replaced shortly after completion of the 12000 mile trip. Wear on the rear tire was even with very little cupping but down to the wear bars in the center of the tread. I was pulling a trailer for the entire trip and was two up for the last 3500 miles. |
| Spray it on (I gave it a little help with a car brush) and hose it off. I've never seen my wheels look better. SO EASY. Highly recommended. |

Just installed this on my 08 Wing and we're about to take our first 2000+ mile journey with it, so I will hopefully have some awesome things to add to this post when I get back, but first - the installation. I don't have a hitch so I bought the 'no hitch' version, and it was a relatively simple installation. Took me about 2-1/2 hours, not counting the run I had to make to my local hardware store. ;-( One of the little plastic bags of hardware had the correct label showing what the contents were suppose to be, but the actual contents were wrong. I was suppose to have (2) 4 x 1-1/2" bolts, with washers and nuts, but instead I had two U-bolts with washers and nuts. (These were in addition to the U-bolts included for the cross bar) And of course it was a Saturday night and the hardware store was about to close. But thankfully I made it back in time with the bolts I needed. One tip that might be helpful, I did the install by myself and found it difficult to hold the cross bar in place and also line up the Receiver Bracket to start the 2 bolts. In fact, I've lost some use in my right wrist due to a previous motorcycle accident, and to be honest I flat could NOT get them lined up. So I used some all-weather duct tape (regular would work fine) and taped the cross-member to the amplifier it supports, pretty much held it in place, and that made getting the bolts started much easier. Hope that tip helps someone else. Also, near the end of the instructions in Step 10 it says 'See Reflector Mounting instructions' but there were none. Not sure what it was referring to because there was nothing in any of my paperwork that had anything to do with the reflector, but I would definitely be interested to know if there is a way to have that reflector cover that hole anytime the unit is not attached (without glueing it on;-) Unit looks good on the bike. Overall, it seems high quality. I do feel it is pretty much overpriced, and for that reason it's hard to overlook mistakes (like not sending the right bolts), but I do feel it will last me many miles. I did notice the zippers were difficult to zip, but hopefully they will break-in and that will get easier. Giving it 4 stars only because of the high price coupled with that inconvenient packing mistake. I'll post more possibly after the maiden voyage. |
| I use this net a little different than was intended, but my guess is it's probably being used in about every configuration possible. But for me it works best to fasten it up in the lid, all four corners to the top two screws only - both right ends together on the right and both left ends fastened at top left. That way the net sort of hangs down and 'holds' things. And when I close the trunk it naturally falls inside easily without me having to do anything with it. And it takes up virtually no room - certainly none in the bottom part of the trunk. And just this weekend I also installed the trunk organizer in the trunk lid and put the net back, over the new organizer, like described above, and now I have BOTH for storage/organization in the trunk without sacrificing much real estate at all. Is not cumbersome to open organizer pockets or place items in net. Would probably make more sense if I posted a pic, maybe I will. But it really works. Net is durable IMO. I would recommend. |
| These really help dress up my wing, Easy install. Would definitely recommend. |
