Luggage racks on a GoldWings are not very functional to begin with. Once I tried to strap a couple beach chairs on, but it is so small it was useless. I tried once to strap on a duffle bag, but again, there is not much room, and nothing really to strap to, so the bag shifted backward after a couple miles. Once you put this rack on, cleaning the top of the trunk is a lot more difficult. Mine is three years old, the rubber inlay is faded, and the plating is pitted. So for me, the only reason to put one of these on is for looks, and once you put on, there's no going back. Personally, I think a spoiler with a break light is a better trunk accessory. |

I put these on my 2006 Wing. They do a great job deflecting the wind, and we can open them up if we want some extra air. The deflectors on the mirrors really cut down the wind, and if you need some air, you can basically aim the wind where you want. The lower deflector is nice in winter as you can adjust to pick up some warm air off the radiators. These do a great job keep the air off you when you want, and focusing the air on you when you want. Very nice, they are easy to adjust and they stay in place. |
| After putting these on, it was difficult to pop open the trunk. Even harder to get the trunk to close. So I ended up having to slam the trunk very hard to get it to close, and hitting the trunk with my fist to get the latch to open. I don't like slamming or hitting my GoldWing, so I removed the bumpers. Instead, I glued a couple of small pieces of rubber on the spots that were rubbing inside the trunk liner, problem solved without all the extra wear and tear of a poorly fitting trunk. |
| What can I say, it's an OEM air filter. It is just less expensive from WingStuff and from Honda. |

Installation was not too tricky, but you need to think it through before you start. It's now much easier to put the Wing up on the center stand with my foot. Riding up the stand in reverse works fine with one rider, but with wife on back (she's not heavy) it won't work. Riding off the stand is a bit dangerous if you are not on perfectly level ground, and not something I would recommend. I have found the shorter center stand (this one) works just fine even if the ground is not level. It seems stable and not 'tippy' at all. I really like this thing and because it's so much easier to put the bike on the center stand now, I don't use the side kick stand as much anymore. |
| I've damaged and lost of couple of these over time so I was very happy to find these on WingStuff. Fits just like OEM, and a must have for spare stuff in my tool box. Price is great! Thanks WingStuff. |

I ordered one of these and one of AO456912B to replace our old windsocks. We have the old style J&M with the large mics. This one is too big, bulky, and stiff. It barely fits over the mic, and if you don't line up the knotched-out part just right, you have to take it off and start over. Once installed, it is too fat to fit inside with the visor down, it pushes against my face and it's abraisive texture is not comfortable. Get the AO456912B instead. |
| These are great. Look fantastic and work very well. Simple but stylish. Very heavy duty materials. Nothing but high fives. |
| I put these on my '08 Wing, and have been extremely happy. Went on a 11,000 mi trip and found them very helpful on the back and legs. Remember to use HondaLock bolt tightener on the center bolt running down thru the rubber foot mounts. Mine worked loose and I lost a few of the rubber pads. Live and learn. Once secured in place they are great. |
| I put this on 3 yrs ago, and love it. I see one review below States he dislikes the fact that it swivels and falls off. I agree, it does swivel. I've never had it fall off. One time, I had a cold drink container that was very tall and full. It did swivel too far that time. But, with normal drinks from a 12 oz can to a Starbucks thermos, it works great. I got the one with the black leather trim. It looks fine. Great item. |
| Large Richard, in a previous review, turned me onto this. I figured he was crazy, well, more than normal. But, he was right. Honda should be ashamed of themselves for going to the ball bearing style over this tapered version. I have had a 2005 and now a 2008 Wing, and both suffered this issue of front end wobble, especially between 35 and 50 mph. After installing the All Balls bearing, it's as calm as can be. This is a must-fix for everyone who has this issue. |

I got this and had it for 6 months before trying it. Put it on when I filled up and took it off when I filled up again. Got back on the interstate and went 25 miles and put it back on and have not taken it off for 20K miles. I have a heated seat and I feel the heat through the beads. It saved my Back Side |
