| Fork Braces in general are designed to aid with tube flex which is typical with dirt bikes and landings from hill jumps. When you look at the design of the GL1800 the placement of a Fork Brace is right above the upper slider bushing and the main fork housing. Factor in the tube wall thickness and if you have ever replaced a fork tube do to scratches/seal leaks the old tube can be used as a breaker bar extension. Case in point is ride with a brace for hundreds of miles and take it off and ride for hundreds of miles. The feeling that you will have is one that your pockets are a bit more empty as tube flex can't be felt nor displayed. Oh did I mention that wear to the upper & lower bushing continue with or without a brace installed. Bottom line, save your money with all after market fork braces and invest with suspension upgrades. |
| This is another example where the manufacture saved money at our expense. The key issue is the air that is inside the assembly, therefore owners aren't getting the full intended travel of the Pre-Loader. After changing countless numbers of rear springs, I've found a hand full where the factory line wasn't holding up. You have to go back and look at the overall bike factors to understand that the rear spring is built for a max of 405 lbs. It doesn't take to many Ice Cream stops till we find that we're pushing the up button on the Pre-Loader. Having air in the system does in fact limit the total serviceable limit of the system, however you have to factor in the total rear suspension in order to fully understand. Removing the air is a good thing but if you find your back to 25 on the panel it's time to replace your rear suspension. Don't be fooled that removing the air will fix all of your issues. |
| Great product. Makes longer rides more comfortable. Great for those of us with OCD. The set up and pins makes adjustments perfect and equal on both sides. Install and adjustment was easy. Put on a 2012 wing. |
| Easy install, looks good and wife loves them. More comfort for longer rides. |
| Hmmm, these look like RC aircraft axle locks. Why didn't I think of that??? Hope you sell a million! Great idea. |
| Put mine on in about 45 minutes. I have a bike lift so clearence wasnt a problem, biggest challenge was breaking loose the bolts. Used a spring tool and it came off and back on easily. Works great can use reverse to back up on the stand and ride off. |

I have a knee problem and it was very difficult for me to put my GW on the center stand. I installed the center stand in 25 minutes. Make sure, you use the coin trick. (Very helpful) Now it is more than easy to get my Baby on the stand with or without reverse. This unit is a must. Always ride save. |
| I had mine for 2 years now with no problems. If my charging system goes out I want to know before Im stranded somewhere, early warning is key. This little gage can be hidden out of plain sight or put into full view. Install is simple using any power wire available and a good ground. Worth every penny! |
| 5 stars for the looks, but these are not as strong as the OEM ones, so take alot of care during install and try to do it when its warm. These small tabs will break very easily, and trust me, you will be already frustrated after the 10 minutes it takes you to get them out of the shrink wrap, which is why I give the 4 stars! |
| This is a great addition for those plain saddle bags. Give them a nice clean look without to much bling for those of us that don't want a chome bike. Easy install and a great price, they look much better on the bike than in this stock photo! |

Like many, it's a must for the wife, and approved by the better half. Good quality build constructions, but when it comes to real quality, only time will tell. I do have an issue with having to swing the armrests out before going into the trunk. I think they could have designed them better for the newer models, so this would not be an issue (factory built in armrest/speakers hit armrest support bar when you open the trunk). Not sure if it is due to lack of quality, riding on laurels, or not enough of us have refused to purchase the arm-rest until they re-design... I considered having my Father-in-law cut the swing arm off and re-weld, but then would have to re-chrome! I would like kuryakyn to redesign the armrest and send me out the new set, but you know that is going to happen! Don't get me wrong - quality of the kuryakyn product line seems the tops... |
| The install was easy, the quality of the materials is very good and the lights are very bright BUT I ordered the lights in May 2012, received a notice that they were on back order (which I already knew). E/C asked if I'd like to still process the order. I said yes, I still wanted the lights. I finally received them in January 2013. Guess its a good thing I hadn't given up and purchased some other brand in the ensuing 6 months. |
