| 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. |
| I purchased the vented belly pan since I lowed my wing and it was recommend that a belly pan be added for safty of the undercarriage. Installation went as easy as the video I watched. The only complaint I have is the hoses seem short and don't extend out of the bottom. It makes me feel that if the hole was 1" forward more they could extend from it. |
| Easy to read in daylight or at night. Like just needing to take a quick glance and know all is OK. Have had this for 4 years, still working perfect. |

As mentioned in other reviews, the one screw on each side was a little short for the front hole and the bottom hole location was slightly off. With a few modifications they fit and stay in place very nice. Now I wish I had purchased the trunk organizer. |
| Very nice carpet kit, fits good in trunk and saddle bags. Gives them a finished look. |
| Install literally took 5 minutes and works great for cans with the cozy that comes with it and bigger drink cups when you take the cozy out. Very sturdy, everything I was hoping for. |
