I bought the Shorai LFX18L1-BS12 (270 CCA) for my 2006 Gold Wing from Wingstuff in May, 2011, for $159.29. I was very impressed with the battery and loved how I never had to worry about finding a dead bike due to battery failure. However after accidently leaving a light on the bike for a couple days, I went out to find the battery totally discharged. I put the charger on the battery and brought it back up to 113.2 volts. However after removing the charger the battery would drop back to 110.1 volts within a very short time and remain there. The battery manual warned that a total discharge of the battery might damage it to the point of no recovery, which it had. After reading the original warranty I noticed that an "over-discharge (i.e. resting voltage allowed to fall below 12.8V/6.4V for LFX 12V/6V types) might void the warranty, but if not so the warranty for a battery in it's 25th month would be prorated at 25% off MSRP. Since the MSRP was $189.95, I would need to pay $142.46 to get a warranty replacement. However, just to see how they would handle it, I sent a warranty request to Shorai, including the information of the total discharge. To my surprise they promptly responded that not only were they honoring the warranty, but that they were upgrading me 2 levels to the LFX27L3-BS12, a 405 CCA battery. The MSRP on the upgrade was $275 and the Wingstuff price was $234. However they were just charging me $86 for the warranty exchange. Plus, they shipped the replacement out to me the same day, without my having to first send in my defective battery. So my review of the Shorai batteries are that they are great products that should give you years of use but that the Shorai customer service is even fantastic by itself. |

Just installed mine, I'm not big on all the bling out there but I do like safety and fuctional additions. This aboslutely grabs the attention of the people behind you. Install took about an hour and half. Excelent video on U-tube (search "backoff" "goldwing" "install". everything bundles below the trunk so it is easier to take of the rear fender to access the brake wires. Good Luck |
| Extremely easy install. Really well made. Love having a cup of coffee on the bike, when the miles start to drone. |
| To short. Only extends the length by approx. 1 inch. I coloured matched mine and it looks good. I wish I would have saved some money and purchased an after market one. |
| I've had these about 3 years (70K miles). Still look brand new with no peeling. I do keep my bike garaged or covered. I bought these because I have large hands (glove xxxl). Felt weird when I first put them on because they are significantly larger than the stock grip. I had a throttle rocker on a Kawasaki which worked great because the throttle spring was so strong. The Rocker was good because you could place where it fit best along the grip. You can't do that with the Throttle Boss on the Wing so I mostly don't use it because it is so far at the end of the bar. Don't get these if you need to feel the heated grip. With summer gloves I can feel some heat, but with winter gloves there's nothing. No problem as I live in south Texas where it is hot or warm enough year round. Kind of a pain to put on because of the small allen screws. Dropped them twenty times, but with these big hands I've had harder installs (like the high beam bulb!!). Overall a very good product and if you ride enough, buy them -- you won't be sorry. |
| Very easy to install looks nice. |
| very easy to install really looks nice. takes about 30 minutes to install. |
| These look incredible. Install was easy, just don't overtighten. |
| Love these! They do a great job of making my bike more noticeable to other drivers and adding some light out front. I primarily bought them to be seen by cars. |

This is a beautiful drink holder and for that reason I am glad I bought it. Shame on Kuryakyn for selling such an expensive Drink Holder with a bracket that is clearly too short. The Kury design has it resting on top of the right saddlebag when installed in the preferred rear handle position because their bracket is too short. Wouldn't take long for the finish to be affected there. I modified mine and added a 5/8" extender to the bracket so it sits up above it. |

Love these grips. They add a nice look, but more importantly so comfortable. Can't recommend them enough. Haven't used the heated grips with them yet, but you have to expect their to be less heat. It is just the nature of the beast and a small sacrifice to get this level of comfort. |
| Installed this with the front springs first and then the Monotube cartridges. If I had my choice I would want it slightly softer for solo riding, but it is perfect for 2-up at 375 pounds. With that in mind it is a huge improvement over the stock one and I would highly recommend it. |
