| So far so good. I have the loaded 2008. Very time consuming, but took my time. When I have to clean, should take 1/2 the time. I now know a lot more of my bike. |

I've just returned from a 5,000 KM trip and I had to take these out due to damage that I believe it caused. I only noticed this when I washed the bike the first time after my return. The paint on both corners closest to the rear (near to the brake lights) is completely rubbed off on both the lid and base due to chafing, about 2 cm long and 3 mm wide. It looks like the bumpers pulled the lid towards the front of the bike (towards the hinges). My bike is almost brand new (only 14,000 KM) and I don't believe it would have had the same extensive damage from chafing if I hadn't fitted these bumpers. Before I installed them, the only minor chafing noticeable was on the small bumps in the plastic around the lid opening and the sides. I cannot find any other explanation for this damage. The lid is mounted solid, i.e. I cannot detect any damage to the hinges, catch or any other part that may suggest why it was able to rub that much or how it was even possible for the lid to get so close to the base with the bumpers fitted. I’m no engineer but logically, with the bumpers installed, it puts upward pressure on the lid when it is latched. Since the trunk catch cannot be adjusted, with the upward pressure, it will have a tendency to bend inwards around the edges. It only takes 1 mm of misalignment for the lid to rub against the base around the corners. I’m downgrading my rating to 1 star as I’m now left with 4 holes in my trunk on top of the paint damage. Not Happy! It would be interesting to know if anybody else had similar symptoms or if it could be because I shaved them like many others. |
| Great, iron's on perfect to the dennim jacket and looks great too. |
| good quality and verry time consuming to install |
| Just completed installation. It took a while to get it installed amd had to use a volt ohm meter to fing the brake and running light wires. Like one of the other members I used the clamp on splices. You need to be pretty handy and know 12V systems to do this project. They are very bright and I like them. |

The description of the jacket is inaccurate in that there is no hood. It does seem to be a very high quality jacket. We are looking forward to wearing the GOLDWING emblem with pride. **Careful - the women's jackets run small. I would suggest ordering one size larger than you usually wear. |

This stand looks very good, and actually has more than double the footprint area so it's less prone to sinking in. Instructions are a bit thin. I've been working on bikes, cars and airplanes for 40 years so I'm careful. Advice be very careful when putting the bold back in, turn it very slowly as the little brake switch comes in contact with the hole in the stand. If it's not perfectly aligned up the tit gets slightly bent and it'll never fit. I did take the switch off and give it a little repair adjustment in the vice and removed some burrs with the dremel. I was rushing and used a socket wrench rather than a 8MM hand wrench. Get down on your belly and use a flashlight to actually see that little tit entering the hole in the stand while turning the bolt SLOWLY. For those of you in corrosive environment, I coat all chrome especially kuryakyn chrome with a clear coating that can not be scratched. PPG PSX 700A It is a polysioloxane. It's about $120 a gallon but a gallon could clear coat 2 pick up trucks. Zero corrosion and zero pitting. It sets up in an hour or so and will never yellow. |
| I've been riding my '05 1800A since it was new without highway pegs. I was proud of the fact that I didn't need any. I am 68 years old and I can actually lift my leg up on the fairing for a break while traveling long distances. Then I rode with these pegs a few days ago. Wow! What a difference. I think I will be able to sit in the saddle a lot longer now, something my better half won't appreciate I'm sure. And the quality of these pegs are top notch. I just hope Kuryakyn has got their chrome plating up to par. I've had problems in the past with discoloring and flaking and refused to buy anything Kuryakyn for several years. But I couldn't find anything out there that compared with these pegs as far as good looks and being of good solid material so I threw caution to the wind and hope the chrome holds up.Four stars only because of doubts about the plating holding up. |
| If you are going to travel it will help alot. I only got the saddlebags. |

These tips are the best looking in my opinion. They make a huge difference in appeal. Ten minute install on my 2010 Goldwing, since my bike is new the stock bolts came right out. I did put anti-seize on the new stainless bolts that Kuryakyrn supplied. I also added some stainless lock washers since the stock bolts had them, but none were provided with the new hardware. |
| This is a great item and installs in 30 minutes after you have viewed the instructions. The Utube video on their website has a couple of good tips for marking the seat. Very well made and designed. Love the adjustmunts for tilt and height. Looks stock on my 2010 Goldwing. |
| works great save a lot of time more time to ride. |
