Bought centramatic wheel balancers from wingstuff at wing ding 32 and had them installed for me at the show. My wife and I just arrived home today and I couldn't wait to write a review on how much smoother my bike felt on the long ride home. This product does everything they said it would, if I get more tire mileage even better, but the smoother ride alone was well worth the money. I'm so impressed with these that I recommend them to everyone riding a GL1800. They explained to me even if a tire is perfectly balanced, after a few thousand miles they are not anymore from wear changes on the tire. That makes perfect sense to me and these balance as you ride. It's nice to know no matter how much mileage I put on my tires they are always balanced as your wheel turns. I'm so glad I bought these, now I know why everyone is raving about them. A big thanks to all the fine folks at wingstuff for being at the show. Even though you were busy, your staff was always so helpful answering all our questions. Our group going home was talking about how wingstuff had the best display and prices in the entire show. Keep up the good work guys!! Ronnie |
| It fits pretty tightly. Better option for travel than my full size cover. Will see how it stands up to inclement weather. |
| My results with this headset were similar to that of other reviewers. The installation was pretty straightforward. The intercom portion works great -- we just returned from a 11 hours trip in very windy conditions and the intercom worked great. However, when using the headset for the radio or MP3 player, the headset does not perform well. As others have said, with the external speakers at 10 or 11, I'd have to turn the volume up to 23-25 to hear through the headphones, and it sounded very tinny and distant. My wife said they sounded like listening to music through the headphones on an airplane. I mainly got this version because it had better mics than the cheaper J&M headset. Now I'm wondering if I should have saved my money and bought the cheaper headset. It you want it for the intercom, this is a good headset, but if you want to listen to music through it, I'm not so sure. |
| I wish I had known they were installing these at Wing Ding before I left. Anyway, found the ride to be smooth and stable. The handlebar oscillations were really bad after a new front tire install last fall. Had the balance checked when the Centramatics were installed, didn't find anything wrong with wheel balance. Rode to Des Moines and back with no problems. For some reason, when I load the bike and use the Tuff Linx case in back, the wobble all but disappears. Got to Des Moines and noted a great improvement in the wobble at low speed, better than when I left! Took the rider ed course doing slaloms and turns and all at low speeds without a problem. Did the wheel balancers contribute to the improvement? Perhaps, it's hard to say. Was the ride noticeably smoother? Maybe. Is it worth the cost? I'd say yes since anything that happens to throw off the wheel balance is automatically corrected. Need to see what happens as the tires wear more. Will update review after I've had them a few months. |
| These are very nice. Easy to install, and make those longer trips much more comfortable. I don't use the flip-out heel as much as I thought I would, so if I were to do it over again I'd probably save a few bucks an just go with the Ergo highway pegs |
| Nice product. Slid right on and was set tight with a single blow with a rubber mallet. The set screw assures that it will not loosen up and fall off. The only thing I didn't like is that it sticks up higher when the stand is in the up position and my heel hits it. It probably wouldn't be an issue if I had floor boards instead of the OEM front pegs. |

Not overly pleased with these. They look nice and are comfortable. Cons: Had to add a washer to the rear mount to keep the board from rubbing against the side panel. The hole for the cotter pin left an 1/8th in gap so the pin wanted to slide, so I had to add a spacer. For the price, I thought it was a bit cheesy that Kuryahyn didn't include the spring, ball, and detent plate so you didn't have to disassemble the OEM peg and selvage those items. Should be a bolt-on no hassle product IMO. |
| This is a no-brainer. Major impact with little to no effort. About as easy to install as it gets. Huge return on investment. |

WOW! These are major bling. Easy to install with major and instant impact. These will completely change the look of the bike. Gorgeous. They interfere with my rear-folding passenger highway pegs a liitle bit. I have press these in and pull the pegs out and they literally scrape by to stow them but it can be done. Not a huge issue and the looks negate the little clearance problem. |

Great addition to any bike. From the saddle you barely notice them but you can't miss them from the sides. When riding in a group I first noticed how effective they were at signalling intent and knew that I literally needed them. So simple and easy for so much function and cool factor. I installed these with the companion Stealth lights and the front reflector LED conversion. Install is super easy and all three took about three relaxed hours to add. The three components were made for each other and add so much to the looks, safety, and function of the Wing. Install was plug and play on my '05. |

These look amazing and add so much to the looks of the bike. You can't really see them until lit up. They also add much needed side visibility with their running and turn signal function. I can't say enough how good these look. AWESOME! I installed them at the same time I did the companion LED mirror turn signal upgrade and front wheel LED reflector upgrade. Install took about three relaxed hours and was very simple. I used the adapters in tandem on my '05 so no splicing or soldering was required. I also have an additional plug available for another running/turn light when I want. |

Awesome upgrade. Very easy to install. I did these at the same time I did the Opera lights and the turn signal LED add-ons in the mirrors. I piggy-backed the adapters on my '05 so there was no splicing or soldering required. Simple installation with no problems at all. To istall all three upgrades it took me about three hours at a relaxed pace. I also have an additional running/turn signal plug waiting for more lights since I used two wiring adapters in tandem. These give terrific added side visibility and look fantastic with the opera lights. The color is almost identical between the LEDs. A must have in my opinion. |
