Installation is a piece of cake. FYI, toss the 1/4 lock washers aside, use larger washers and 242 loctite. Forget the knife, get yourself a $2.49 12" demolition Reciprocating Saw Blade at your local building supplier. Wrap a rag around it and make a couple of passes toward the holes you drill. You will be able to clearly see the blade when you near the holes. Before inserting the backrest bracket use a 5/16 drill to cut a lead/countersink in the 1/4-28 holes. Just a lead, do not allow the drill to remove more than a thread or two. You may need to run a tap into the holes to clear up the first thread or two. The possibility of cross threading is then eliminated. Insert the backrest bracket, use 1/4 x 1" washers to add better support, remember this is plastic not metal you are bolting the bracket to. Installation time is thirty minutes to an hour including pulling and replacing the seat if you get all the tools in place to do the job before you start. By the way, don't worry about cutting the seat you'll get over it, at least I did. Good luck |
| Finally got this to complete the look with the chrome nobs I had purchased earlier. Great look easy install. |

Installed them as I invested in some pegs for myself and decided I better not be selfish so bought these for my wife. We've ridden over 2,000kms since I installed them and she's not complained (that's progress for most of us). They fit in minutes and look great and she's now got the choice of two different positions for her feet. |

Great product, well constructed, solid and fits snugly to the Wing. The instructions are fine (plenty of words) but seriously lack pictures. Fortunately someone photographed every step of his installation and posted them and this saved me lots of time. Check out https://myplace.frontier.com/~kipdoran/bushtecv2trailerhitch/index.html I had a mate to help me and it made a big different - ideally, it's not a job to be undertake on your own. Lastly, for those non-US based Wingers, the bloody fittings appear to be a mixture of metric and US Standard Units (inches) so I had to pop to a hardware store and purchase extra tools. All in all, fantastic product. I deducted 1 star because of the installation instructions and mixed bag of fittings. PS - Aaron from Wingstuff did a fantastic job of sourcing and shipping this to me in Australia with days to spare before I departed on a week long ride North. |
| Change my first one at 32,000 miles kind of dirty have 55,000 now another ten before i change it again. Forty mpg when i changed it and still at forty now. |

An inexpensive (and functional), little bit of bling bling for the handlebars. Sure beats the crap out of the OEM black ends. Seriously tho, looks good. |
| easy install put on with lower cowl take time lining up with bolt looks great |
| not bad to install took about 45 min had 1 hole that didnt want to line up but other than that adds bling to front |
| The plastic bracket snapped after about 4 days of use. |

These plugs need a 13mm tool to loosen them as opposed to the 17mm size of the stock parts. Also, I did discover that at least on 2012 Goldwing that the final drive drain plug already has a magnet insert. And it appears to be better built plug. So during my very next service I will be reinstalling the original final drive plug and buying another one for the crankcase. Wingstuff's plugs will then become expensive one time slingshot ammo. Duck Wingstuff! |
| For years i have put off purchasing a set of the hand wings. I've heard so many good reports that I decided to install a pair on my 2012. They are as good as everyone says. Very easy to install and really allows for the redistribution of airflow. |
| I'll have to admit, I'm old school and at first I thought touring boots make you look dorky like your wearing moon boots or something.These boots are great. Took them on a five state trip ranging in 30 degree weather at high elevations in the rockies to 90 temps in the desert. Was comfortable in all temps with no additional socks needed. They were so comfortable, it was like wearing slippers. I can't praise these enough. The fit was perfect. |
