There is a balance between tire mileage and traction. Some people may like the great mileage you get on the Dunlops, but I find that the "stickiness" of the Bridgestones make for such a better ride that I am more than willing to give up tread. I have been doing over 18K a year - so I go through tires - but prefer the safe and solid feel. I have found these to run true (especially when I also add Dynabeads) with no cupping and they really stick to the curves. While traveling last summer I mis-calculated and had to get a tire before I got home. Dealer only had the Dunlop and I hated the ride so much I only put about 2K on it before I replaced the tire. |
| these were not bad to install---- a little neverous when had to drill but all and all not so bad---just remember the old saying mesure twice drill once---- and these really did cut down on the wind and buffeting noise on the mike ---real good addition |
| we i added beads to my tires it was vary easy to do when i took it for a ride i did not notice any difrence in the ride----- as to weather they make the tires last longer not sure of any way to determin that all tires whear difrent due to conditions so how would you replicate that to know -----as to gas milage it was not as good but it was an old tank full sat over the winter so will wait for fresh gas to determin that unless gas mialage inproves the beads are a waste of money |
| I have a 2006 GL1800 and ride a good mix of 2-up and solo. The OEM D250 got me about 8,000 on the rear tire before needing changed. I went to the Dunlop E-3. It was a smooth ride but it started cupping badly at about 7,000 miles and it was replaced at 8,400 miles. My front tire was cupping very badly with the E-3 as well. I've had 2 sets of E-3's and got the same results with both. I watch my tire pressures closely and don't feel that was an issue. Last Fall I went to the new Bridstone. The ride is smoother, the traction is way better - I go through curves like I'm glued to the road and the best thing so far is that the GL1800 front end wobble when decelerating is gone. So far no cupping either. It's just a much better tire for the GL1800 in my opinion. My best friend replaced his E-3's on his 2008 GL1800 and has almost the same exact findings - no wobble, no cupping and better traction. |
| This wasn't the one I ordered but the other denim vest was a clearence item and all gone. Rodney called me and told me he could change the order to the new one,(laced sides) and included it with the rest of my order, not dissappointed. Thanks Rod |
| I purchased the krome works passenger armrests and drilled a hole 1 1/2" down on the right armrest ,I reversed the supplied chrome bracket and bolted it with a 1" chrome bolt &nut! Will also work with the show chrome armrests! |
| Bought these look,s like a easy hook up to cold to install right now will will update @ a later date much lager and heavier than i thought. |

I received my Stand in a timely manner. Followed the directions on how to install. Put the Goldwing on it's side kick stand and had to lay on the ground to get to the bolts. pulled the center stand down as far as it would go and inserted washers between spring openings and raised the center stand back to up position and the spring come off with no tools. used a floor jack under the socket wrench handle to get both bolts to break loose (also to tighten). Got it installed in about 45 Min. It is very easy to park and use. I broke my back in 3 places 3 Yrs ago and never used my original stand this is a Great add on. Thanks |
| These not only fit perfectly but they really look great and dress up the handle bar area nicely. |
| Would have preferred to have the knurled ones but the red only came in smooth. They look very nice with the dampeners. |
| Installed these today and went for a ride. It was hard to tell if they made that much of a difference but they do look great and I'm sure when I ride all day they will help dampen the vibration. |
| These went on without much problem. They work and function great. to use the trunk, you will have to pull then up a little. One thing, you will have to seal the leather with a water repellant product. After a rain storm, you can squeeze them out like a sponge |
