Only had to drill one whole since we had the armrest already installed. Made install much faster. Balanced the bike out nicely. Has great reception without setting the SWR. Plug n Play. |

Just installed this on our 2013 GL1800. Had to be one of the easiest installs that I have done so far on our bike. Unlike the previous year models, no need to take the bike apart. Just lift a panel in the trunk, unscrew the radio stick the CB in place plug it in to the radio and put the radio back... Installed the OEM antenna with it. Did not route the cable behind the seat, wire was so short didn't feel like it was gonna reach, just tucked it in the back of the trunk under the carpet mat. Don't ever know it's there. Did not set the SWR either and we had about a 2 mile range with another wing. Works perfect for talking to other bikes in our group. |
| I would not have believed it if I hadn't had the chance to try one. In-laws ordered one first and let us try it out... WOW what a difference. Nice to be able to ride in the Texas heat and get where I am going with a dry backside. You can actaully feel the air moving under your bottom. Wife and I both have one and will never ride in warm weather again without them... |

Nice when an install is this easy with an improved safety result. A must have. |
| Color ring is a nice touch. |
| They look and work great. Installed with the ISO grips and color ring. Added some nice bling to the bike. |

I put one of these on each side to balance the look. Didn't really think that I would use the one on the clutch side but I have found that I use it a lot. Nice to be able to stretch out my hand without taking my hand away from the bike. Throttle side is perfect, press the palm and roll... I have found that when the cruise it set, I sometimes speed up cuz I am relaxing too much on that boss. :) Nice addition to our wing. |

Followed the instructions exactly and install whet smooth. These grips got rid of my hand cramps and look super nice on the bike. |

The worst part about this install was having to drill holes in the housing. Once I got over that, it was a breeze. Like someone else stated, I was disappointed in the fact that you really can't see them during the day. But at night they show up very nice. I really like the red to yellow switch that you get when using your blinker. Nice attention getter. I highly recommend this addition. |
| The GL1800 needs some room to stretch for most of us. These did the trick for me. Average height and inseam I needed the extra reach these provided. Adjustment took a couple tries to get it right, but not too tough. What's really needed is the shorter arms as an option when you buy the kit, the 6" arms were too long for my needs, the 4" are better IMO |
| I'd been toying with a hitch rack for a while, but didn't have a hitch so this fit the bill perfectly. We no longer pull a trailer but needed some way to augment the luggage capability. Leaves almost no trace of itself when off the bike, and was a simple straight forward (even for a dolt like me) install. I even cut the hole in the fender rather well. Very pleased with the result. |

I watched the video about the leg wings that claimed to deflect the engine radiator heat. For the investment I thought I would give it a try. I have always had to wear my chaps to withstand the heat from the radiators when moving my feet to the high way pegs. I am happy to say they work! Went for a 200 mile ride with out my chaps on. The heat was deflected very well and was able to wear shorts if I want! The leg wings seems to have no effect on engine cooling even with the 100+ degree day we had. Very pleased with product and will recommend to all wing owner with high way pegs. Of course time will tell about the durability of the product as other posts have indicated. |
