| 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. |

| This one is an absolute no-brainer for a GL1800. Very easy installation. It took me about 10 minutes, start to finish. The functionality is just as advertised. Thankfully, I will never run out of juice for my MP3 player or android phone again. Be sure to check-out the YouTube video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKm-AHXhM78. |
| Looks great, feels great, and easy to install. YouTube installation videos make the job a snap. Great buy! |
| Momma doesn't ride all the time and this comes of in a minutes, if that. I will store in the trunk until needed. |
| Easy install on 2012. As with others, it was nerve racking when cutting into the seat. Just take your time and read the directions. However, being 5' 7" the backrest hits my back kind of high, which is okay but now it feels like i'm reaching for the handle bars. No mre reaching, I just added some risers and everything is good now. |
| Added to my 2012 Black wing. Looks really nice. I used painters tape to hold in place for a day or two. As with any taped accessory, dry fit first, then stick. So far so good. |
| I've been through two of these systems. The first one just quit reading the pressures, so the company replaced the entire assembly. That unit worked OK, but the pressures were not accurate. The right and left trailer pressures were as much as 2 PSI different when a precision gauge showed them to be identical. The pressure accuracy seems to drift, even when sitting in the garage where the temperature is uniform across the entire bike and trailer. The receiver unit is fragile, and can be damaged by dropping it or getting moisture on it. The second unit just failed for reasons I can't understand, so I'll be looking at what else is out there. In summary, this is quite an expensive unit for something that is not very robust. |
| These bulbs do not work on the GL1500. The pin settings are wrong. Looks like I'll just eat $40 worth of bulb. I guess some things are just better bought at the dealer. |
| This is an easy install and it looks great, too. I had read that some said the flag rubs the paint off of the spoiler. This is not an issue if you install the flag pole higher on the antenna base. The flag will clear your spoiler at any speed if mounted correctly. ...unless you have a fairly large size flag. This one is roughly 4"X6" and should not pose a problem. |
