| Between these and the Superbrace fork brace the ride is best described as solid as a rock and smooth as silk at the same time. Front fork deceleration wobble is gone and cornering, even at lower speeds, is like being on a rail. I added the brace a few hundrer miles ago and it helped with the wobble, but with this it is gone completely and there is a difficult to describe difference in the ride. It was also and easy DIY install, without even the need to pull the front tire completely "out" of the forks/calipers (which would mean a lot more disassemble), just pull the axel and pinch bolts and rotate the tire as you go to get at everything. Rear also went on without pulling the tire out from under the bike. |
| Very solid installation and incredibly light weight. Be aware there is a protrusion on the back side of the fender that is right above the amplifier box where you install the isolator on newer models. If you don't get the isolater down in the box far enough this will interfer with the wiring, and the best I could do was get the isolator even with the top of the box, horizontally. There is very little room in the box and the isolator is actaully against the amp. The spring clip system to hold the reflector and cover the hole when the hitch is not in is poor, it wants to slide down over time and expose the top of the hole you have to cut in the fender, but a larger diameter washer fixes that by stoping it from being able to move downward. |
| Oh, and it even comes with an extra wire in the part of the harness that installs inside the light housing allowing for easy conversion back to OEM operation if you get hassled about having one red and one yellow turn signal on the back, simple as unscrew the three acorn nuts inside the trunk, slide the light fixture out and unplug/replug one wire and reinstall. Alternatively, I suppose you could also simply change the yellow bulb in the saddle bags to a red bulb. |
| Great add on to increase visability in general but especially when pulling a trailer. Between this, and the plug to convert the spoiler to running/brake light, and the trunk and saddle bag lights wires, and the Rivco hitch wires the wire storage area under the trunk gets quite full, but if you are careful and zip tie things together to keep them organized it will all fit. |
| Timing chain number in review below should be 3909. |
| Added lower cowl (AO451203) timing chain (KU3909) intake and radiator accents (KU3990 and AO451629NUB), WOW! Really finishes everything off nice. My buddy says it doesn’t even look like the same bike. I wish the radiator accents replaced OEM parts instead of taping/silicon sticking over the existing parts, but they have been on a while now and through a washing and seem to be holding fine. Just be aware if you are going to add a bra that you will want to do something about attaching the radiator anchor straps. The straps are supposed to hook to the grill, which might be fine on the OEM grill, but it will pull the chrome grill accent part of AO451629NUB out if you hook it there. |

| Looks great on the fender. Need to be real careful about placement. I used a whiteout pen to mark where to place it. |
| Did not sit flush on the fairing. So I used a 1500 watt hair blower to soften it enough to form to the contour of the fairing. Now I'll see how well it stands up to the elements and ride. |

Easy installation. I tucked the connectors in the space in the upper left. I covered them with plastic baggies and tape. I used a 6 pin connector because I tow my motorcycle trailer with my car. The tough nut was attaching the "bracket" side of the connector (pin-side) to something. I finally had to make a bracket that was bent over the hitch brace, which I secured with several tie wraps (not bolts) due to space limits. The connector bracket vertically bolts to the brace-bracket, which makes it easy to insert the male part of the connector. Plus the socket cover drops down and back toward the tire, protecting the socket from highway dirt. Hope this makes sense and helps. |

I read the instructions, which helped. Like 1 reviewer said, it was a little tight getting all the pieces to fit but they call came together. When I went to install the H-bracket (with the receiver) I couldn't tell which way to face it. One side has a bulge that hits the plastic box, so I turned it out. Wrong!! After I installed the license plate tupperware, I couldn't install the bolt who's boss is on the receiver that keeps the stinger from moving. So I took off the back piece, removed the H-bracket, and ground down ribs on the plastic box to take the bulge side of the bracket. Problem solved. Just FYI. Mine is an '08. |

Just ordered and installed. Thanks to wingstuff for same day shipping. Ordered and four days later received and installed. The pegs and mounts are of high quality and the design does well to limit slippage. A screw could loosen on anything but these are braced in several places. Very meaty design. I am still messing with the adjustments. I am 6'2 and have not found what I would call a comfortable position yet. |
