| They fit and work not sure what else to say about them |

Before purchasing any product from Wingstuff, I always read the reviews. Customer input has been a valuable tool in making purchase decisions and I thank those that take the time in writing. And many times, no matter what the product, there always seems to be someone dissatisfied with it. After looking at all the high marks the Stones received, I guess I'm going to be the detractor but I have to relate my experiences with these tires. My set of Bridgestones replaced a set of E-3s. I was very happy with the E-3s except for the road noise after about 10k. Somewhere after 10k I installed some Centramatic wheel balancers and the noise seemed to reduce after a period of time. Got a good 18k on the E-3s, with probably another 4-5k left to go except that I was headed out on a major trip and did not want to change tires while on the trip. So I decided to give the BStones a shot. Here is my experience with them: Immediately after putting the Stones on, I noticed that they seemed to slip and slide way to easily when encountering 'tar snakes' and other objects in the roadway that make some slick spots. Never had an issue like this with the E-3s. Also, at about 15k miles, on my way back home from the Sierras in No. California (about 90 miles), I developed a very noticeable wobble in the bike. When I got home, I (more closely) checked to see if I could determine the cause of the wobble. Noting no problems on the rims or other parts of the bike, I checked the tires and could see that they were wearing very unevenly with cupping and different tread depth depending where I checked on the tire. In any case I decided to go back to the Dunlops. On my way to get the tires replaced, the wobbling increased two fold. When we took the tires off, in that 30 mile ride to the shop, the rubber had split on the rear wheel and the cord was showing through. The Stones only lasted about 15k miles and they probably should have been changed a good 2k miles earlier considering the shape they were in and how quickly they deteriorated. Almost all of the miles were cross country with highway/freeway speeds and little super aggressive cornering. And if the Centramatics improve wear and tear, these tires certainly underperformed in comparison with the Dunlops. Plus I was much more confident in the grip with the E-3's in all weather. |
| i love this shield i rode my bike tonight this shield is perfect im in love |
| Excellent value and a great porduct, places the air (hot or cold) right where you way it. |
| I bought a can of this at the local dealer one day I was having work done on the wing. I noticed the mechanic using it to clean up my bike eliminating his paw prints...lol He highly recommended it, so I bought a can. However I paid over $10.00!! I have used it alot, especially on our trip to Key West, it really does an awesome job! Reviews are right on, it even works on chrome! I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone!However I will be buying my next few cans thru wingstuff at a much cheaper rate! Thanks Wingstuff! FIVE STARS!!! |
| Since installing these back in May, I now have 14k miles on them. No cupping, still a beautiful smooth ride. There is an ever so slight flat spot about 2" wide evenly distrubuted around the center track of both tires...exactly what I would expect. Tons of tread left, no weird wear or "graininess" showing between treads. Again, I believe the centramatic balancers are probably assisting with this, but there aren't enough kudos to throw at these tires for hanging in there tough. At this point, I'm planning to swap to a new pair in the Spring...just because really. At this rate, 30 - 35k doesn't seem unreasonable...usually unheard of for MC tires. |
| I can feel air moving under my butt with this, which is a good thing in hot weather. I took it off in winter, in order to maximize my heated seat though. Long rides are much better with these beads. |
| 2008 GL1800. I'm 6'2", 200lbs. This backrest gives me the best adjustment options for one or two up riding. It easily moves out of the way for passenger mounting and there are no irritating bars blocking the passengers legs. Installation was a little intimidating because you have to cut the seat to install the support bar but believe me, it's worth the effort. |
| These are all I have ever used on my 2001, oem's on the rear, EBC's on the front, perfect combination!! |
| As expected from Honda this is a quality product, BUT IMHO it is not sized in proportion to the 1800 trunk. Once mounted it appears much, much too small. If it had been advertised with a picture showing it mounted, as the other racks are, I would never have ordered it. My mistake, now I'll have to live with the dinky little thing till I trade bikes. |
| Installed these on my 09 along with a reinforced lower tree. Fantastic improvement. Better compression damping and rebound damping. I also have all balls tapered roller brgs. I shimmed my ADV and do not seem to need it now. I weigh 160 lbs and I used no shims. Like other poster said some small bumps are firm but overall a better ride. The feeling of control now when leaned over is much better. More confidence. It raised the front of my bike about 1 1/4 inches. I plan to slide the tubes up some next time I put it on the stand. That will lower the front part way back down. I have over 1000 miles on them so far. Jim GWRRA #320221 |
| I installed these about 1 year ago. They installed in about 30 minutes and I used the blue Loctite to keep things tight. It took a couple of tries to get the brake pedal set to the desired height but that wasn't difficult. I can’t believe the difference they made in the ride and comfort level and wish I would have installed them when I first purchased my GW in 2008. After a year they still look and feel great. If there was only 1 item I was going to buy to improve the comfort of my ride, these are it. |
