They would completely eliminate the issue of the bolt heads interferring with the fender, without afecting the structural integrity of the receiver. For AO this means having to make one additional part (shorter sleeve for the bottom). Had I thought about it before mounting my hitch, I would have 3D modeled it and run a stress analysis on it to see what diferences there might be. All in all, pretty easy install on my 08 which only took about 1.5 hours. Waiting for the wires co come before pulling my trailer. |

Here's my update to my original review. They (Sena headsets) still don't work as advertised. After working with one of the SENA technical people over the phone and basically being accused of not following the simple 4 step directions in the manual, they eventually sent me a new pair of headsets. The new pair did sync for intercom use, but when synced the Bluetooth functions didn't work! It seems as if you have to choose one feature or the other, you can't have them all. I just returned from 2500 mile trip from California to Yellowstone where I tried dilligently to get all the features to work. My wife finally told me to turn them off, put them away and forget about it. I'm glad the other reviewer got them to work. For me, this was a waste of $400 (Oh yeah, I had to buy additional special mounts so they would fit my HJC SyMax II helmets). I'm thinking I should have gone with a wired solution or one of SENA's competitors. One last note, the jog dial is a disaster. I thought it was a really cool feature at first. One bump, ever so slight and it sends the headset into limbo. Because of where I had to mount them on my HJC helmets, the are more rear facing than side and occasionally my wife would accidently bump my jog dial and turn off the intercom and put it into limbo mode. |

I just installed front and rear with new tires. They are definitely smooth as everyone says they are. But Pricey, Pricey. I have always achieved same level of smoothness when balancing my own tires but became concerned with cupping reducing tire life so I'm trying these. If tire life isn't increased, then they're not worth the price in my view. Time will tell. I do hear the swishing of the beads below 40MPH. Kind of annoying but no big deal. Anyone considering Dynabeads instead of these, what does an emergency fix-a-flat tire repair do to Dynabeads? Bothered me, that's why I went with the Centramatic. I will post again after I get some tire wear experience. |
| I previously rode on Dunlop Elite 3's and thought they were pretty decent, lasted well (19,000 miles). Based on a test drive on my buddy's wing, I decided to go with the Cobras. Wow - what a difference in handling! They stick to the road like glue, wet or dry. They also roll into curves very, very easily. I was advised to run the tires for 100 miles before pushing the bike hard. That was excellent advice - I initially had a tendency to lean too hard into the curves. I've put on about 1500 miles since installed 2 weeks ago. Wingstuff did a great job of delivering the tires to my mechanic's shop and gave me the best price available anywhere. Cupping comes from weak shocks - hopefully I won't have the same issue mentioned by others. |
| A must have, if you're serious about extending the life of your battery. A high quality charger offered at an excellent price. |
| Ordered on Monday--arrived in Kansas on Thursday!!! Talk about fast service. Used air hose and went on very easy--really like the way they feel. |
| Installed these sometime back and they are still like new. What a boost to additional chrome already added in this area. |
| Installed the saddle bag lights yesterday, talk about looking good!! The video was really a great help, thanks. These lights really jumps out at you when turned on. |
| Talk about adding a little class to the bike. Of course that's what chrome does. Great product. |
| I'd spent the extra bucks for the factory CB radio so, I decided not to pinch pennnies on my radio's antenna. It has proven to be an extremely high quality product, that enhances my factory CB radio's performance. The Hondaline factory CB antenna is certainly the way to go. |
| Just got mine but NO Instructions, there are 2 rubber pads that came with it but don't know what they are for. Any one knows what they are for? |
| This is well made and a must to keep the raod crap off of my chrome front cowl cover. It also keeps the rain water at a lower level. Looks good and the install is very easy. Be careful when drilling. 'Measure twice, drill once'. |
