Now after 1 summer driving around with the trailer behind me i saw that the crashbars where pulled a little backwards. Why didn't they make a little plate that fits behind the behind the crashbars? Would be so much stronger than it is now. Because of the distance between the clamp and the mountingpoint of the crashbars you get a sort of lever and when you drive a bit sporty like me this is the result. I'm going to make my one litlle plates that fits behind the bars and connects to the towbar. |
| Well after some coaching from my good friend "Huggybear" from the great state of TX I manage to get this things on. All I have to say is "it take a lot of pushing to get them on. I was afraid I would break something. But they went on without a to much of a hitch |
| The quality of the plunger switch, instructions, and lack of brightness is beneath a Hondaline accessory. That having been said, I am glad I have it. You need the trunk light and the harness, both sold seperately. Cons: Price, dull light, instructions, and the plunger switch does not snap into the pre-drilled hole on a 2010 Goldwing. The plunger switch is very loose. I'm not sure that cheap switch would snap into any hole snug. Pro's: Looks nice, plug-n-play wiring, light mounting holes are marked on the front outside of trunk, light automatically comes on when you open the trunk, and I have some solutions. Solutions: Mount the light to the trunk. Wire tie the harness to the harness in the instructions upward until you are by the left trunk hinge. With the trunk lid open, one-inch above the hinge, drill a 5/16" hole into the bottom of the left speaker compartment base. Run your wires with sleeve into the speaker box. This will allow you to make all four wire connections inside the left speaker compartment rather than having a bundle of wire connections in the outside hinge area as instructed. Plug into the power source inside the trunk top lid as instructed. Wire tie the harness down the other wire harness as instructed until you reach the back inside bottom corner of the left speaker compartment. Drill a 3/8" hole into the back bottom inside corner of the speaker compartment so you can run the wires and sleeve into the compartment and make all of your wire connections. I used Gorilla 5-minute set 2-part epoxy on the plunger switch to tighten it up in the hole, this should hold as there is very little pressure on the switch when it is in position. Remove the stock 3.4 watt bulb and replace it with a Sylvania DE3175 bulb. This is a 10 watt bulb and will light up the trunk nicely. |

| This really is a nice jacket considering you pay double for anything with a goldwing emblem on it!! Its completely water repellant with a light lining. Not warm enough for really cold weather but should be nice in the spring and fall.I checked out the manufactures web site and they list the jacket for about $20 more than what wingstuff sells it for. Havent seen this at any of the local honda dealerships yet. |
| As I own two bikes and change my oil frequently, better to be safe and replace them with oil change. |

This last weekend I installed a Utopia Backrest. The You Tube video really was a big help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3igm0NZSx8 The hardest part for me was cutting into the seat (emotionally). But otherwise the install is fairly straight forward. All in all it took me about an hour and I am no mechanic. Afterwards I took it for an hour ride mostly on interstates and WOW. Now my bike really is a Barcalounger on wheels. The biggest improvement for me is with the highway pegs. Now the pegs make sense. I found the greatest relief to be driving up a large hill. I am glad that I spent the money and did this install. |
| Install was easy and work and look great. |
| Can't miss with OEM and the price is right. |
| I ordered this as have back problems and couldn't ride long. Works great the adjustments are easy. I am a single rider so don't know about it hitting leags of co rider. |
| The battery install with no problems.Was happy with the fast start up. |
| What a difference a little bling makes! I definitely recommend. (I did discover that my left side engine guard was bent back and it made installation on that side very difficult to get them on - but I bought my bike used, so it's a learning process.) I did have to remove the highway pegs I just purchased and installed a few weeks ago though. |
