I installed the Swoops on the trunk today, No problems. They require a steady hand when you start to stick them on,, only get one try. The wires coming out the end should be flat instead of round. Would make things a bit easier. The only problem I'm starting to have is with the six pin connectors. I have a total of twenty of them now located on the rear of the bike and it's getting difficult to find locations to secure them and keep them dry. It would be nice to have a six pin manifold with several receptacles where you could just plug in the accessories and not use all the Double "Y" Adapters I give it a five star rating,,,, great product. |

I installed these yesterday on my 2012 with no problems. They are bright and look great. Instructions were good. The only problem I'm starting to have is with the six pin connectors. I have a total of twenty of them now located on the rear of the bike and it's getting difficult to find locations to secure them and keep them dry.

This is highway robbery by J&M. I agree with the others that this should be included with the headset or sold for much cheaper. We tried using one of the older cords that looked the same, but the pins are different (8 instead of 5) on the J&M Elite 629 headsets. The cord hooked up and works great on our '12 wing. |
| Although not entirely satisfactory, the Ergo II, with its extension shaft, is the only highway peg I could find that will adjust to allow my legs to reach around the GoldWing's confining front faring. It can be mounted high enough to avoid scraping asphalt on tight turns. The fairing is the culprit, and the Ergo II is the best relief I can find so far. Heat from the radiators is still disurbing, however. If only that heat could be selectively diverted into the fresh air ducts for cold weather comfort, it could also keep the heat off the ankles while using the highway pegs. Can't anyone reason with the HONDA engineers ? |

Pegs were easy to install on our 2012 Goldwing. Instructions weren't as bad as others said. The first key instruction was to get the correct mount for the correct side which is easily determined by comparing them next to each other. The longest installation time was to get the adjustment height and angle. The key is to not tighten the bolts until the proper adjustment is determined. They are heavy duty and well built. They look nice when installed. I am rating this 4 stars because it should have both the 4" and 6" arms so the user can choose which one they need as they are installing them. |
| After some research as to which replacement wind screen to pick .I tried this one have been very happy with it easy to clean does a better job at blocking the wind& the rain seems to not stick either,Did have some trouble replacing the vent ,I was lucky it didnt break Overall it seems more rigid. |
| It took about an hour to put these on (a novice), They don't fit perfect but hard to tell unless you are looking really close. Adds plenty of light making the bike easier to see and according to one guy at the gas pump, "They are Cool!" |
| Nice piece of bling!!for a small investment. Take caution. Use more 2 sided tape on the ends. The ends will catch on your wash mitt or your polishing cloth. |
| I jist installed these and allready like them. they are a great addition and they went on without a hitch, they are vr ery visable to traffic around you. |
| the install was vrey easy and the fit was A+. the look good and add just the rite amount of bling. |
| Great product bought at rally for $15. Also have the Butler for the passenger but she prefers this one. |

I first had the Centramatics installed on my '05 Goldwing when I replaced the E3 with an Avon (not so sure that was a great decision). One year later (and one year ago) I traded up to a '12 and had the dealer put them on my new bike. Now, 11 months later, I have 10k on the original tires and they are just starting to cup. I'm not sure how much of the credit is due the Centramatics and what should be credited to the Bridgstones. I will say this, as soon as I installed them on the '05 I felt a noticeable difference in the smoothness of the ride. My 2012 has been nothing but smooth, up until about 9700 miles on the front tire when it just started to cup. I am convinced this is one of the best investments I have made for the bike. |
