| Bought the bag for trip to the Smokies. Worked great for the light stuf such as rain gear. Easy to get in and out of. Rain cover is handy too. Would suggest shorter velcro straps. Cut them to length. Great item for the money. |
| fit just fine but did nothing to stop my decell wobble |
| The installation is pretty straight forward and only took me 15 minutes to install. The belly pan is is quality made and fits well once installed. The reason I only gave 4 stars is because I feel this item is really only a peace of mind and/or "feel good" measure to protect the coolant reservoir plastic tank which Honda placed in a terrible location. I think all you really need to do is install a front fender extension to achieve pretty much the same protection. Now I have both, so I should be double protected. |

This is not just for the Monotubes as I had installed Progressive Monotubes, a Progressive Rear Spring as well as All Balls Bearings. I also had my actuator re-filled, bled and a new braided line installed. (Thank you John at JBJ in Santa Ana!) In writing about my impressions know that I have only had the OEM experience and have ridden no other Goldwings with an aftermarket suspension. After I picked up the bike I took it on several sets of railroad tracks (they were easy to find as JBJ is in an industrial area of Santa Ana) then on the freeway and finished on Santiago Canyon Highway, which has some gentle twisties. I am not a strong sport rider. I had the install done mainly for comfort versus some might for better handling. I can throw the bike around a bit but I will never come in at number one or two. Other bikes can pass me on the inside of a turn. Wow! Before whenever I hit a bump there was a jolt to the bike and my spine many times locking up the Anti-Dive Valve. And then all the next bumps where even harsher. Now the bumps are soft. In a sweeping turn the more I leaned into the turn I would find that my OEM forks (and rear shock if I was two up) would flex or go in and out (compress?). No more. My bike on a sweeping turn is now rock solid! Before if I was at high RPM’s and I let off of the throttle my forks would compress. No more. Before when I was in a turn and I hit a bump I was on high alert as my forks would compress in a very scary way. Today I hit several of these and it was if the bike did not even notice. Before I would evade all man-hole covers. I hated the jarring, like I was riding a HD hard tail. Again, now the bike just doesn’t seem to notice. The bike does sit taller, even with the tubes sticking up about ½ inch above the triple tree. With the Corbin seat I can still get both feet on the ground but not as surely as I did before. But this is a small price to pay for the increased handling coupled with the smoothness of the ride. Oh, and I had the Pre-Load set at “0†the entire ride. I weigh 230. |
| The blue really does a nice job, both daytime and nite... I did the 7 small leds vs the 5 larger. Install was 20 min total both sides... too easy... |
| Spoiler looks great and is a bonus to the bike. Pattern that came with it is way off. I had to redrill hole. Thank god the spoiler covered it.Worth every penny. Installed in 15 minutes and had the bike put back together and Iam no machanic!!Trust me on that. |
| I wrote a review a couple of years ago, and the only thing I didn't like was that the forward attachments were awkward buckle and strap. I since started using those velcro type electronic cables velcro straps. Thread the velcro strap thru the buckle and leave it there. It is wide at one end so you wont lose it. When attaching the bag to the rack simply wrap the newly added velcro strap around the rack instead of fumbling with the buckle. I am currently in the Michigan upper peninsula and was caught in a harsh rain storm, thus reminding me of how much I like this bag. |

Not too easy to install but not bad. Crawling around on the ground at 65 yrs. old is no fun. Best to buy the chrome timing cover as well, otherwise it looks like something is missing.. |

REally big, takes a little to get used to but they are a good fit, especially when you where gloves. Hard to install. |
| I thought is should have been a heavier guage metal. Better than nothing. |
| Chrome is first class, no sign of cheapness. Be sure to read the instructions completely before installing. |

2-star rating at this time because all I can do is talk with my wife using this system. May be upgraded with everything is installed. First let me explain that I do not text, take pictures, or anything else with my phone except make calls. I am not up on this "Bluetooth" technology. Did not need it until now. After purchasing the SMH10 (dual pack) I was very excited; no more cables from my Goldwing to the helmets. Unfortunately, I was not able to install the intercom system because both of my Bell helmets were on backorder. The helmets finally arrived from Bell and I install the SMH10. Found out the system was not compatible with my Goldwing. All I could do was talk with my wife; lucky me. I immediately called SENA and explained my problem and application. SENA informed me that I now need to buy the SM10 Bluetooth Stereo Transmitter as well as the 3.5mm Stereo Jack to 5 pin DIN Cable (SC-A0121). When that equipment arrives (mid-Aug) and I get it installed, I will write again and update this product review, letting you know if this system will work on the Goldwing radio, GPS, CD, and iPod or if I have to send the entire SENA system back. If you do talk with SENA about this, make sure you get the name of the person you talk to and their extension. I even recorded the conversation because I do not want to get stuck with $450.00 of useless equipment. |
