| You can't go wrong with this easy dress up kit. It finishes the tail end of my 2012 beautifully. I always suggest using a heat gun on low setting to warm and activate the adhesive for an instant solid adhesion. |
| Got these and paid the $10 for installation at Wing Ding this year. After riding almost 500 miles with them I think they are great. I watched the guys at Baker built install these in about 10 minutes time and it seems simple enough as long as you are willing to drill into your bike which I have never been afraid of, but for ten bucks, who would say no. I have the dark tint with black brackets on an 07 Blue Goldwing and they look great. The black blends nicely with the blue and doesn't detract making it look like someone added more chrome just for the sake of adding chrome. For cold airflow, open the top vent and keep the bottom closed. Warm air is just the opposite and I'm looking forward to seeing how well they work in the winter months as I ride year round here in Virginia. |
| I like the chrome but I have an Aerostich suit and my suit rubbing at the ankle scratched these first thing... |
| easy install about30min. wife has long legs and bad hips could only ride about 1hr and had to take a break,now she can go a few hours before we take a break.she says with the little bit of extra stretch makes a world of difference |
| I bought the floorboards and heel/toes shifter kit from Kuryakyn along with the kickstand and extender. Floorboard great, kickstand great in keeping the bike more upright over the OEM, but the extender, disappointed. No matter how I position the extender, I scrape on normal cornering in town. I live in Colorado and take full advantage of our mountain roads. I have had this three days, and have started wearing down the extender lower corner. I scrape my floorboards when carving, with the extender, I scrape sooner and some of my reaction has been to back off my riding. Not going to happen. Not sure what to do short of removing it. |
| After reading the one review, I was a bit worried "one star really" so here we go, I am 6'2" so I was a bit worried that the other backrest would not move back were I might need it. So looking at this one, it has forward and back, up and down, also lean adjustments, also if I truly hate the backrest it can be removed. I was surprised at were I have the adjustment at, quite a ways forward even for my size. and long arms. At this point I love the backrest. This is why I only gave it 4 stars, the pouch that is on the back of the back rest it is very cool BUT it is Velcro-ed on, and in the hot western sun glue is not that good. one little area has a problem staying glued. |
| Very easy to install, they look good, but unless they are very,very tight they wont stay in place. Other wise a good product. |
| On the "Generation 2" GL1800 (2012-UP) The easiest way to get the U bolts in is to remove the turn signal/ tail light housing by accessing 4 fasteners on the back wall inside the side compartments. Once that is taken off, you can easily manipulate the U bolts around the frame tube and secure them. You may have to re-dress the threads on the U-bolts so they'll accept the nuts without cross-threading. They're cut pretty sloppily and you'll need a file or grinder to clean them up. Try fitting the nuts before installing the U-bolts! You'll also need to trim a inch or so off either side of the back side of the center panel to allow clearance for the flat plates on the mount. Fit the panel and look underneath to see how much you'll need to remove to get the panel to mount flush. The picture included in the directions only show a "Generation 1" configuration. Unless you plan on keeping the mount tube in place all the time, you'll want to find a plastic cap or cover the opening with tape to prevent dirt from corroding the inside of the mount tube. You might also want to remove the tension bolt located above the hitch pin and re-install it using plumbers Teflon tape wrapped around the threads to keep the bolt from vibrating out when not tightened down. Remember that all this stuff is INSIDE the rear tire well and will be exposed to everything your rear tire rolls thru. I recommend using a loc-tite thread locker product on all fasteners also. Instillation wasn't bad, but be prepared to take your time because the instillation is tedious and easily frustrating. |
| I just finished installation on a rainy day, so this rating is only on installation. Step 1--throw away the supplied drill bit!!! This bit will grab the fiberglass on the bike trim piece and it is very difficult to make a clean cut. In my case one hole was so bad that I am having to spend $106 to replace the trim piece. I bought a good drill bit for the other side and it was perfect. Take my advice and buy a drill bit designed for an application such as this, like a Porter Cable bit designed for acrylics. |
| I installed this myself in a couple hours on a 2006 airbag model. Took my time and referred to the online instructions referred to in other reviews. I pulled a trailer 2-up over 6000 miles on a trip last year with absolutely no problems. This hitch is solid. |
| I have purchase two of these. One to replace the previous purchase because the chrome came off the antenna mount and pole. Well, the second flag pole succumbed to the same fate in a short time after installation. They look great on the bike but the fact that the chrome comes off so quickly has determined that I not repurchase this item. |
