| Installed just like the instructions stated. Just take your time. Measure twice,cut once. This should be a back saver on a long road trip.Looks good,feels nicer. |
| I used only 2 of the bumpers on back of the trunk. I found that if you cut 1 slice off the edge of the lip w/ a razor blade off the side of the bumper and dip the end in dish soap, you can easily twist the bumper in to the hole by hand w/o the use of pliers and it's a hell of a lot easier to get them inserted into the holes. I broke 2 doing it the way the instructions said to do it. The trunk closes tight right now but should break in nicely after a week or two. No rattles and no more chafing the paint. |
| I just finished the 4 corner tour with a new set of bridgestones on my wing. I have a little over 11,000 miles on the set and they still have some life left. The front actually loods very good and a rear is a little square but had a lot of high speed interstate on the trip. They are head and shoulders over the Dunlops. No cupping or whine with the front tire and the rear isn't down to the wear bars yet. Very pleased. I run 46 in rear and 31 in front. |
| Agree w/ RF Tech, just tried to install right side. The brackets will not sit flush against BOTH the back & side walls (????) and if you opt for forcing a flush fit to the side wall, it's cantilevered for the back. In addition, had to stop since the 3x4 hex bolt w/ those confounded Nylex acorn nuts sheared in two- Home Depot trip ;-). I like the style, but give 3 stars for the craftsmanship of install hdw. |

I have had this set of ME880's for 12,000 miles. Still lots of meat on the tires, but front tire is cupped bad now. Im not complaining about the lifespan, just making note that within the last 300 miles, they went from good to bad...really fast. Im getting another set. Fantastic wet riding, no front end wobble (Cant say that for some other tires (DE3's) ive had. Good tire for the money. Des 2005 GL1800 |
| I've had these bags for close to a year and over 10,000 miles,they have held up great with no sign of wear and hold plenty of stuff.Now if I only had room for my things!! |

Installation was painless thanks to all the comments I found here. Here's my contribution: 1. Was surprised that the allen wrench needed was a 3/32" and not a metric size. 2. Checked and rechecked the front of the grip ensuring I had the right one on the right side. The opening in the front of the right one (smaller opening) seemed better suited for the static grip on the left, while the larger opening on the left grip seemed better suited for the moving throttle grip on the right. 3. Bar clamps made the snapping together a breeze. Those are a most have for this installation. |
| Great boards,look great, yes it would have been nice for them to include the ball and springs. Change over made me curse .Can't wait to get the new passenger cruise pegs so the wife can stretch out the legs.Ball & springs should be included, 4 stars. |
| Had in on the bike for a couple thousand miles. I notice a difference at slow speed. Well worth the money. |
| This is the cheapest piece of chrome plated ABS I've ever seen! For the price, not a good value- place your $ elsewhere. The Chrome would likely show more scratches & wear than the OEM plate over time. |
| Came with the bike when I bought it. I like it my Wife hates it! Her legs hit on the bars and is very uncomfortable for her. I still use it when soloing sometimes and enjoy it, but it is difficult to get on and off, i.e. stretching it open to remove or install from brackets. Do like looks of the chrome bracket under passenger grips and the holes work great for a strapping things on back seat. |

Used it during one of the hardest rainfalls I have ever been in.. Kept the bike dry with no water on the seat or anywhere else..For the price, you cant beat it.. |
