I recently had to replace my tires due to road hazard. However, I typically only get 8-10000 miles per set, which is not great given the cost of tires. I switched from Dunlops to Metzlers and added the balancers. I could tell when I drove out of the dealerships lot that the tires were an improvement. When going down the road it was immediately apparent that the balancers together with the new tread was heaven on earth. I never noticed undue vibration in the bike, but those handle bars are as still at 60mph as if setting parked. It actually makes driving distances less tiring. Since it was the dealerships first experience mounting these, they admitted their curiosity and put them on their dynamo. They were to say the least, impressed. They said at 60 mph the tires registered "0" vibration. Try that any other way. We'll see if the tires last longer, but either way, I see an immediate improvement in the ride. |
| It took me a total of 1 hour to install this item on my bike and we will get to try them out this weekend. Looking forward to giving them a try. |
| This item adds beauty to the engine's elegant look if you have chrome on the lower and front cowl. A must have and easy to assemble. Kind of pricey though it's worth the classy style. |
| Put one on my '85 GL1200 over a year ago. A few weeks ago, it alerted me that my battery wasn't being charged enough. I discovered that the notorious stator plug was failing and was able to eliminate the plug with individual spade connectors. This gauge saved me a costly stator repair! |
| great looking rack when new - but, as with any chrome, round metal rack i have gotten, is a problem with RUST - rust starts at all the weld areas,and then spreads - can't keep up with it - so i went to remove it to try and clean the rust and the bolts were rusted into the legs - one snapped - now have to buy another rack - gonna try a billet flat style - maybe will have better luck with that style |
| Installation is a breeze.... obtain a 3 foot tube section at your local hardware store and with the valve stem at the 8 o'clock position and the bike on it's center stand, remove the valve core and secure the clear tube to the valve stem. Add 1 oz of beads to the tube while the tube is supported by the ground and holding up the other end slightly. Carefully apply 3-5 lbs air into the tube and watch the beads flow into the tire. If beads get stuck, lightly tap on the valve stem while holding the tube so the beads back flow into the tube. Continue operation until 2 OZ are added to the tire. Total time is less than 5 minutes to complete adding the beads and inserting the valve stem. Enjoy the ride... |
| Don't get caught thinking any product out there will put a stop to steering stem wobble as it won't. Keep in mind that Honda has as a routine maintenance item to have the steering stem clean and inspected every 8K miles. Oh did I forget to mention you have to retorque during installation???? Yep you guess it, your lower bearing will be dry and your top lock nut has backed off exposing the lower bearing to outside elements. Have tapered bearings installed by a pro and make sure they know how to torque the upper retention nut to the lower. Now that you have taken care of the steering stem, give Dyan Beads a run for there money as the ride is like glass at all speeds. |
| Because the product reviews were so high on this product, I gave them a try. I don't like the feel of cupped tires but will usually ride longer then on them then I should. I now have over 12,000 miles on the front tire with no cupping. The tire had almost 6,000 miles on it when I put the balancers on. When I ordered this product, I spent a good deal of time paying attention to the vibration in the handle bars. I wanted to do the best un-scienctific test I could to compare the difference. Yes, there is now less vibration! At the time of the install of the balancers, my rear tire was needing change and my front tire had 5,500 miles on it. Everything is still smooth and the day I installed them. Good product. |
| Looks great and feels fine. Getting the pieces to fit together was quite a challenge. Loss of heat is not a problem. |
| I ordered the backrest and it stayed in its box for a couple of weeks while I worked up the nerve to do the install myself. As it turned out, I really didn't have anything to worry about. I took my time; watched the install video a few times; read and reread the instructions; took a deep breath and went for it. The seat looks and feels great. A must have! |
| No problem installing. Before drilling...something didn't look right so I made my own template. Great for directing or deflecting air as needed. Only problem is they tend to crack easily. Have had to replace both lower shields within first year. Be careful not to tighten too much. |
| Great for cold weather and rain...keeps both off the shins. I live in Houston and during the intense heat I remove them as they block air movement making it hotter on the legs. I put the deflectors under the mirrors too and they work great in both cold and hot weather to either deflect the cold and rain or allow air flow. |
