| I previously had a 1500 which was always comfortable on long rides, but my new 1800 caused me huge pain in my lower neck and between my shoulders due to the different seating position. I bought these after reading the reviews and am happy to say that my pain is gone. I am 5'8" and had been leaning forward and reaching for the handlebars. Now I sit fully back in the seat leaning against the backrest with a firm hold on the grips and a slight bend in my elbows. I got the standard risers and had them installed at my dealership because I was nervous about fooling with the steering. It took them 45 minutes to do the job. |
| After 4200 miles, still look good. Lots of people look at the bike and talk about it. This little detail make a huge difference. Great buy Still love it. |

Compare to what a see some times, its the best looking, feels solid. Chrome is good quality, and the passenger love it. The only thing, you have to make sure you swing on sides before opening the trunk. |
| After 4200 miles, still like it. My passenger likes the way the backrest is design, no side bars and its fold so its easy for her to get on. It match the original seat, looks clean easy to install. Very nice product |
| After 4000 miles,still perfect. Been in rain storm and dust and still no rust coming out. Its a good buy, easy to install. |
| I purchased the New Generation set in light smoke & all pieces arrived the same color. I’m just unsure what it is that sets these apart from past offerings, other than price. Easy install, instructions have much to be desired of, very poor quality photo’s. For the asking price you’d think they could do a little better? |
| No one knows when the fickle finger of fate will strike and this kit certainly won’t keep all gremlins at bay. But for the price it’s nice to know that if the occasion does arise and your alone on some distant unfamiliar road this may just get you closer to a more permanent fix. Nothing worse than being stranded out in the Boonies with a 900lb unmovable machine! |

I’d been reading and researching fork braces for several years and initially thought, if Honda felt they were needed they’d be standard equipment. I was wrong! As good as the engineers who design these bikes may be, they aren’t perfect. For starters, I’ve had 3 new Hondas over the last 10 years and all came with Dunflops. All cupped and shook like mad within 5k and could never get any warranty service on them. Very dangerous tire & wouldn’t use another if it were given to me for FREE. After much research decided on Bridgestone’s for replacements and must say, with just over 1k on them they are fantastic. I also had the proverbial low speed issues and took the leap of faith with this fork brace. What a difference. Not so much at high speeds, but low speed handling is greatly improved. Easy install, looks great & improved handling at a reasonable price. What more could one want? |

After trashing the Metzler 880 after only 10000 miles and putting on the the new Dunlop on the rear, I noticed an immediate difference in the ride. 1500 miles later they still seem to be working great, but I will review after 10000 to see the long term effect. Only one post in this stream says to use 2oz, which I did according to the instructions. I can't figure out why everyone else is putting 3-4ozs in a 180 tire. By the way, I bought the 70 series, not the 60. It corrects the error in the speedo almost perfectly. Only off 1 MPH at 80 MPH according to Garmin. My mileage seems to have increased as well. I don't know if it is the new tire, the beads, the difference in tire size or a combination of these factors. |

As stated in many reviews, the tire debate depends on personal preference. I have received better mileage and performance from the Dunlops than the ME880s. I only got 10000 out of my rear 880. It has the same whine and road noise as an older Dunlop in my opinion. This seems to happen with any tire that is 50% or more worn. It is the nature of tires, tread, wear and road surface. And, yes, I watch the tire pressure carefully. I check it cold each day that I ride and adjust appropriately. The front 880 now has 12000 on it and still more to go. The noise can be a good thing. It tells you that you are still in motion on a tire that is not flat. It is only a bad thing if you wanted to stop 10 feet ago. |
| The hitch over all is nice. I think unless you have some type mechanical skill you should not install it on your own. I just did mine and I have been working on motorcycles my whole life. I bought a 2012 goldwing ordered the hitch right away. When I got it I was shocked at how poor the instruction were. On my bike I had to take the inner fender loose and move the wiring harness on the right side so it would not be pinched by the support bar. I also had to loosen the mufflers to get it in. None of this is in the instructions. So take your time. |
