Product is pretty nicely done but location makes the end result less than perfect. I am 6' 1" and ideally the seat would be farther back or up higher to stretch out a bit. I put on these pegs with idea that I could stretch my legs. The fairly is certainly in the way so you have kind of sharp end on you leg and thats even noticible with my pretty heavy duty riding pants I always wear. Assembly was mostly straight forward but there are 4 pins to pound into one part that took be forever to get 3 of them in as no easy way to push/pound them in given how part is set up. One went flying and I never found it so I contacted Kuryakyn via email today to see if I can get some replacements, will see how that goes. Clearance seems ok so far with them folded up. Certainly stick out some but cannot see them at all when riding and folded in. This is probably best choice for highway pegs given the challenge of the 2012 fairing design but do not expect the traditional highway peg set up, location, or comfort. |

Great product. I used it to manage additional rear and front lighting and have a spare switch. Installed on Brake resevoir and wired directly to the ACCESSORY terminals on the battery and put a 10A in-line fuse for good measure. I had to lengthen the cables to reach - and did it in such as way that they can be disconnected easily. Heed the warning about the fluid. Another great product |

Bought it, fitted it and it works. Don't know why Honda doesn't fit it as standard. My one bit of advise if be patient and if you've got large hands you may want someone to help who has petite hands. Good Luck. |
| I put one on each side tie wrapped to the radiator grill. Found out it gets a bit too hot and the hot glue inside the pucks melts and makes a mess. It's cleanable but now, not all the LED's are working. Don't put them near the radiator or anything hot. |
| I'm starting to wonder about Kury's commitment to quality control. I have two HD baggers with the chrome ISO's (but not for fitting over heated grips) and they have been fine. First off, they didn't finish the metal parts completely; there is bare unpainted metal where the collar fits over the rubber factory grip collar so I'm thinking they'll rust in short time. The rubber sleeves slid on easily (I used WD40 to assist). The metal clamshells are quite thin gauge metal and though I got the tabs to line up correctly, the grips "swell" in the center giving a slightly bulbous look (small space appears towards halfway point along grip). I 'gently' used a small-bladed screwdriver to fully pull the rubber extrusions through the holes in the clamshells. I WILL recommend these though because if you don't like the thin factory grips, or the throttle twitching that occurs when you try to maintain slow speed throttle at the same time as you're reaching for turn-signals, switches, etc., you'll like these. I like the diameter of these MORE than the ISO's on my HD's because of the slightly larger diameter. I installed with the over-sized throttle extension and it's a great combo. |

| If you have over a 34" inseam... then throw your 6" arms on craigslist and order these. You will feel a noticeable difference in comfort due to the extra stretch you will gain. I think they look a lot better on the bike too than the 4.5 - 6 inch arms. |

These are really nice looking pegs, however... if you are long legged (34" inseam or greater) then I'd suggest adding the Kuryakyn Mini Arms or 4.5" Arms. I went with the Mini's and am happy now. The 6" standard arms that come with it put too much of a bend in my knees to be comfortable. Sooo... be prepared to spend an extra $40 to $50 bucks to make these work a bit better. It would be nice if Kury just bundled in a few different arms to make these really adjustable. |

These are not only functional... but they really finish off the looks of that area of the bike. I tend to ride pretty aggressively and was concerned about wearing out the plastic drag bar on the bottom so I had every intention of removing these and putting the old stock pegs on whenever I knew I'd be hitting the twisties hard. However, on the GL1800 forums I met a member who makes some awesome steel floorboard savers that are direct bolt-ons. Go to Traxxion's website to find them. Those will throw some nice sparks in the twisties and put on quite a show while not digging into the nice chrome finish of these boards. |
| These are actually one of my first purchases from Wingstuff. They are nice and thick and fit well. What a difference it makes to not have things banging around in the plastic trunk anymore. These really help dampen the sound and just make the trunk and bags look and feel nicer. |

Don't forget to take out the metal shims from the old knobs and put them in these!! Took me about 5 minutes of trouble shooting why these knobs fit so loose before I figured it out. I should have read these reviews first! ;) These are a nice inexpensive upgrade and I bought two sets so I could make some keyknobs too. |
| Cheaper than the Honda dealership down the road. Fit is perfect. I can complain all day long about taking the bike apart to replace it... but I can't complain about the quality of this item. ;) |
