| I bought two a few weeks ago. This gives great visibility on road, looks sharp with a black vest over it and keeps me protected and cool on hot rides. I like the protection and believe I am cooler above 80 degrees than in short sleeves with the protection from the sun. It is also not a cheap thin fabric. Have not yet washed it, but believe the earlier posts it will hold up. |
| I have 600 miles on mine and they are fine so far. I am concerned about the cupping mentioned as well as the vibration. These come highly recommended from my dealer where I have my bike serviced. I am looking forward to a 3000 mile trip next week to see how they perform. In hail and deep water I have been impressed with their performance. |

I INSTALLED THESE FOUR YEARS AGO AND THEY WORKED GREAT. I HAD A PROBLEM LAST WEEK WITH SHOCKS LOSING AIR OVER A COUPLE OF MINUTES. THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE RIGHT SHOCK BROKE THE HEAVY SPRING INSIDE THE SHOCK AND IT PUNCHED A CRACK IN THE LINER WALL. JUST ORDERED ANOTHER SET BECAUSE THEY WORKED VERY WELL FOR FOUR YEARS. |
| I needed this BEFORE I hurt my back! 30 minute install. Easy easy to put the bike on and off. Excellent purchase! |
| Purchased this to connect my existing wired moulded ear plugs into the GL1800 sterio. Works briliantly and as advertised. A simple and economical solution for people like me who run multiple helmets and do not want to go to the expense of instaling speakers in each. Simple solutions are always the best. |
| Really nice looking. An eye magnet where it is otherwise boring for trim. I have not had any problem with heat from these, even going through Las Vegas in 96F. Take your time putting them on so they are centered properly. |
| Great product. Creates a nice glow in addition to the regular lights. Turns off when high beams are on, so turning high to low beam really wakes people up when they don't see you. |
| I had these added to the Goldwing Trike I just purchased. My wife is short and these work great. Very sturdy and hold up well. |

Very pleased with how easy it is to get the bike up on the center stand. With the stock stand, I had to roll the bike backwards, and use the bike's momentum to help raise it. Don't have to mess with any of that with this center stand. Definitely loosen the bolts while the bike is on the center stand. I tried to do it all on the side stand, and could not get enough leverage to do the job. Once the bike was on the center stand, a breaker bar and a metrinch socket for the 14 mm bolt did the trick. Used a piece of PVC pipe over the allen wrench as a cheater bar. As the instructions note, the 14 mm bolt is threaded backwards of most bolts. Chris Shaker |

I used these for over a year and although the sound quality is OK for a single rider, we get a lot of road/engine noise with a passenger using the I/C. Installed some Radio Shack audio chokes and that helped, but not enough. My biggest complaint is that while they do work, and I think the sound quality is OK, the quality of these is only fair. We replaced one set twice, and the second set once. We ended up returning them (while still under warranty), and switching to the J&M headsets. The only other issue with these is that having the headset over your ear along with a pair of glasses can make your ears hurt on a long ride. We attached the set for my wife upside down to her half helmet and that took care of the issue for her. |
| Awesome product! I would highly recommend this. My helmet is wired for sound by use of some good quality headphones, which I detached from the bridge and stuck the speakers up into my modular helmet. The volume adjustment on the bike makes this a perfect addition. |
| With the redesign of the 2012 GL 1800's saddlebags, these do not fit the contours. I gave this 3 stars because it's not designed for the 2012. |
