| I installed these immediately I bought the wing. When I bought it the wing had 4500 miles on it and the front wheel seemed pretty cupped to me ( the front of the tread pattern was higher then the back. The bike still has the oscillation at 30 - 45 mph when I take my hands off, but otherwise it is pretty smooth. |
| FYI, I have a locally modified seat to where I sit back farther. As an afterthought, I called Utopia as my backrest is enroute. I was told I could have ordered the backrest with the vertical bar bent for my seat. The stitching on my modified seat, front stitches to back stitches where the vertical bar goes between is only about 3/4" wide on my bike. They told me how to re-shape the bar for my use. So if you have a modified seat, make sure you do a telephone order with Wingstuff and specify your mod so Utopia can send a bar bent accordingly. |

I was hesitant to install them…the chrome mounting brackets makes it look to gaudy. I was told I could get black brackets… If you’re looking to keep a clean look to the bike, I suggest using the black brackets instead of the chrome. With the exception of the bottom cross bracket glad I installed them they work great…lets you control the mount of air you want. |
| Fast delivery, used her hair spray as directed (she didn't like that) slid right on with little effort. Great product. |

I bought the Kury ISO grips based on all the reviews to replace the factory grips on my '06 Wing. Well worth the purchase! They look great, are larger in diameter than the stock grips and are quite comfortable. |
| We purchased our GW1800 from a Bushtec dealer and had the Bushtec hitch installed at the dealership before picking up the bike using the Bushtec receiver, not the ball mount. We have pulled the trailer over 20K miles in the last two years. Wouldn't trade it for anything. |
| Easy install, but I still would have liked having instructions. |

This is my review on installing the Bushtec V2 hitch on a 2008 GL1800 airbag model. Pros Seems to be built with quality materials Powder Coated for years of protection Design is specific to the Gold Wing… it fit perfect Great low profile Vertical design Packaged and protected very well for shipping Once installed it seems very very solid Cons Expensive I’m with others would pictures really be that hard to provide? Pack of screws were missing several important bolts, washers, and nuts (I blame Bushtec directly for this) had to go to hardware store before even starting Receiver pin seems loose and allows hitch to wobble quite a bit. All together it took me about 3-hours to install with a few moments of help from the misses. I had the bike on a lift and the rear wheel removed. Without doing this I have no idea how someone would complete this task. It would be very difficult in my opinion. So if you order this hitch make sure to count all the nuts and bolts and have someone help. The instructions are okay at best. With all the complaints about this I’m surprised Bushtec hasn’t addressed this. But I suppose if people keep buying them why would they? But to be fair the hitch is very solid feeling and fits the Gold Wing perfectly. I’m not un-happy I bought this hitch I believe it is solid and will provide years of service. I was able to re-install my 70 series rear tire with no problem after final installation. |

CLIFF THIS IS A MUST HAVE IT REALLY SETS THE FRONT OF THE GOLD WING OFF. ITS NOT THAT HARD TO INSTALL INSALLED BY MY SELF IN ABOUT AN HOUR BE SURE TO TAKE THE CLIPS OFF THE OLD ONE BEFORE YOU START THE TIMING CHAIN COVER AND VALVE COVERS REALLY SET IT OFF |
| Bought this last year before winter. Love it. Easy plug in cord for connect and dis-connect. Will save on the battery life for sure. Not only bought this for the wing but also bought one for the generator for the house. Peace of mind. Thanks Wingstuff!!! |

Your right Stevo what the heck and why would Kuryakyn would use old parts from OEM for their new foot pegs. The spring is .69 cents and the ball bearing is about .25 cents. I agree it took longer to get the old bearing and spring out of the old one and back in the new ones. Not good Kuryakyn Show chrome would not have done that. |
