The left clamp and swing arm assy bolt that connects to the 6" extension of the floorboard is about 1/2" too short. Because of this the swing arm assy broke off from the floorboard extension when I rather gently laid the bike over on it's left side in a parking lot. If this bolt was 1/2" longer it would protrude farther into the swing arm assy body and be much stronger. This happened on my '06 GL1800. I hope the bolts on the newer models are longer. |
| Great item. Sure makes it easy to add other lighting. Had trouble locating the 14 pin plug but after contacting a Kuryakyn rep and his fine help, I got it installed w/o much effort. I fed a plastic coated cable to the rear and pulled wiring with that. |
| Ok installation was not the easiest thing I've done to my bike so far. This item is sturdy and well made, and is very adjustable. The metal is no-nonsense, be careful when you are drilling the seat pan for the mounting bolts. I did not care for the riding position this back rest gave me. I have had this on my bike for about 6 months now and I commute about 90 miles per day. Also I've done 14000 miles this year Almost all of which have had the backrest on. I ran with the back rest in several positions. The backrest always left me putting pressure into the handle bars, its hard to explain but it just wasn't for me. I do suggest you give it a whirl and see if you care for it. I'm 6'2" 260lbs, a stocky rugby type and I think its the geometry of my build that always left me feeling like I was sitting farther forward than I wanted to. I turned around and sold this on ebay for just about what I paid for it, so give it a whirl. It looks sharp and very sturdy, and has good resale value if you don't like it. |
| Also, for me the visor is a MUST HAVE since I wear prescription glasses and I am rarely able to wear sunglasses. The visor shades my eyes great. |
| I love a SHOEI helmet, fits great. Hint: When installing a J&M headset you need to cut the foam in th ehelmet where the speakers go all the way back for a comfortable fit. With my big ears it just wasn't comfortable until I did this, then I loved the SHOEI again. |
| Fit perfectly as expected |
| I installed the monotubes with 7700 miles on the clock. The front end is a little higher using the recommended shims and also stiffer. The additional height did not create a problem for me and the firmer forks planted the front end in the twisties. I also disabled the ADV and with the firmness the ADV, in my opinion, is not needed. Installation is easier than expected, can be done by a novice. The fork seal rebuild kit is a must when installing monotubes. |
| A lot of helpful information with a visual to see how to do things. I was a little surprised, having never seen a Fred video before, Fred he explains things same as you or I would do the task. Fred often makes references to the Honda shop manual which is a big plus for those of us who have the $80 manual but with his directions a manual is not a requirement. |
| Good product works great even after 18000+ miles no complaints. |
| Worked good the first 2 times. After that the poles consistently collapse during parades. Talked to others with these poles and they carry duct tape and tape the joints so the pole does not collapse. But that is a pain after the parade since you then have to remove all that tape. And yes I am locking each joint correctly |
| Holds alot and the rain cover works great. Keeps everything dry!!! |
| They are not a good fit at all! I battled for and hour to get the right side on as the holes didn't line up at all. Had to force the screw in crooked and of coarse split the plastic holes. Finally employed some gorilla glue, they look great! COME ON SHOWCHROME! you can do better. |
