The Bridgestone tires are great. Switched from original Dunlops to these and noticed a significant change in cornering. With the Dunlops, the bike seemed to want to straighten itself all the time when cornering whereas the Bridgestones does what you want it to do and stays in the cornering mode until it's time to straighten up. With these tires, you can't wait for the corners and winding roads. I give the tires a 5+ star rating but only a 3 star to Wingstuff because they sent me a 2 year old tire which means I can only get 1 year out of them due to laws in Dubai making it mandatory to change tires that are older than 3 yrs old. I complained but did not receive a response from Wingstuff. |

2nd entry... Now with over 10,000 miles and many miles left to go, I am even more impressed. These are my 8th set of tires on my 05. By far the best tires I've ever had. Whether it is one of our local curves or hammering through the Tail of the Dragon, I am amazed how smooth and how they grip and handle. The Bridgestones radials and the Centramtics are a great combination. Thanks again Rick for another great recommendation! |

2nd entry. The Centramatics are still amazing. Now with over 10,000 miles since they were installed at WingDing in July. The tires still look very good and the Wing is still smooth as silk. First time ever with no wobble and shimmy. I am extremely impressed. My co-pilot (wife) says something about how smooth the ride is almost everytime we are riding. I now realize the ROI will be even quicker than I expected. A big thanks to super Rick and to Geoff at Centramatic. |

I've done about 1000km since I installed them, I can't say I've found any miracles happen, but then my bike does'nt seem to have many of the ills described by other Goldwing owners. But yes, at any speed over 40 my wheels feel balanced. No wobbling, wiggling or any other ing. These went on with a set of new tires and no balancing. Works as advertised. One funny thing is the marbles slushing around at slow speeds, turn up the audio and ignore it. |

Functional result : Can't feel any difference, Ime 6'2 and honestly no change. Maybe there will be for any passengers I may have but.... Looks : Beats the standard windshield, I wasn't even dissapointed I felt no change because it actually looks very good. Installation : My mechanic did it while the lid was being taken off anyway. |
| I was getting a neck pain from bending over until I installed the tall rider risers. Now I can ride for hours without the pain. I'm 6'1" and the riding position is a lot better now. I installed these myself in about 1 hour. Trimming the upper plastic bolt cover took the longest to fit. |
| I don't have arm rests so this kit was perfect. My wife and I used the 34oz cups all summer and found them to be very well made. Both hot and cold drinks stay hot or cold for hours. I'm glad we got the larger cups. |

| I didn't have a factory running light switch in the left panel by the rear shock switch so I mounted this power plug socket there. I plugged this into the wiring harness behind the the left box so it was switched on with the key. I mounted another power plug inside the box that I wired to be hot all the time so I could charge ipod or phone without the bike running while in a concealed compartment. |
| I've had these wings on for a few months now and find them to be perfect for directing the wind away from your hands when cold and more cool air flow behind the wind screen when hot. |
| Three hours and one went out Great. Now the trouble of getting it replaced. |
