| it serves the purpose nuff said. |
| Added this and it looks great plenty of room for cleaning the trunk had to bore holes a little to get screws to fit took a little work but end result is worth the wait.Have to remove trunk inner lid but no trouble at all. |

These are very study and well cushioned arm wrests. I installed on my 2008 without any fitment issues. It's great how they have the "factory" look and do not leave any cumbersom moving parts to get in the way of ingress and egress, as well as opening the trunk. I have the trunk rack installed, and even so, with your arms all the way back to where you wrists are right at the edge of these arm wrests my wife's elbows still have a couple inches space from the trunk rack. As previously mentioned, installation is pretty involved. It took me nearly 3 hours, but I'm a perfectionist and double check all my actions before performing any destructive actions, such as drilling. A few important notes about installation: 1) You will need some weird tools. I had to use a dremel for cutting thin metal lock washers off, a hook tool for grabbing those washers, and an oddly sized drillbit for one of the steps (17/32). 2) The "B" lower drilling template is incorrect! I highly recommend drilling the top hole, positioning the support bracket, then marking the bottom hole. If you use the bottom template you'll have problems. 3) The diagram of which support bracket for Left/Right is confusing since it only shows 1 angle in the photo, and its a top down computer diagram. Not a big deal, if you put it on the wrong side you'll see when mounting and its easy to change to the other bracket. |

Really Kuryakyn? Really? In this open letter to the engineers and accountants at Kuryakyn, I'd like to nitpick just a tad. (I would address the customer service folk, but I've done that before, to no avail. ) If it was your (engineers) idea to make us reuse the tiny balls and springs, what were you thinking? "Let's provide the customer with these nice floorboards but torture him with having to fish out the ball and spring so he can drop them, spend 20 minutes finding them, and then try and figure out how to put the puzzle back together! Hah!" Okay, it wasn't that bad, but if your account said, "Let's save 25 cents on these and make the customer reuse the Honda spring and ball," then shame on them for being penny wise and pound foolish. Go ahead and spend 50 cents more on these parts and charge me an additional 2 dollars! Most of us would pay gladly for a complete part that requires a little less unnecessary hassle. Now with that off my chest - except for the 20 minutes looking for the dropped spring (my bad), these installed in just a few minutes. One swing arm rubs a little (yes, it will take off the chrome where it hits over time), but I expect that from our friends at Kury. I got these for my wife, and if she's happy, I'm happy. It was interesting they include some extra pads and glue (thank you) but I think doing so is a warning there is going to be trouble down the road. I just hope I have to replace the ones for which they provided the extras pads! |

Installed on 08 Wing with little effort. Hardest part was removing ball and spring off the original boards, they should be included. Instructions should include adjusting allen bolts on swing arm berore assembly,so tension will allow raising foot pegs while riding. Happy Biker |

And now for an opposing viewpoint... I have big hands so I thought I'd like these puppies, but I felt a little out of touch with the road feedback I get through the bars. Yes, the GL grips are smallish, but for some reason, with the gloves I wear, the fit is fine without these covers. My advice: blow 12 bucks to see if you love them. If you don't, heck, it's only 12 bucks and you can pass them on to a friend who may love you forever for your generosity. |
| Looks good, what can I say. Another snazzy look on my Wing ! |
| In my opinion....this is the only drink holder to purchase. It doesn't cost an arm or leg to replace if lost and installation is as simple as it gets. The 20 oz. will get you from gas stop to gas stop in the heat. Hot drinks last as long as any other offered. This is the best of the best... |
| This is the cleanest addition for a back rest offered. No tubes to contend with. You do have to cut a slice into your seat but many Goldwingers have done this and all love the backrest design. If you're afraid of cutting your seat buy this one anyway. It will be a cleaner, neater, and easier access to the rear seat that anyone else offers. Are you a man or mouse. Step up to the plate and see the great look after installation. Easy to follow directions. |
| well the new black powder coated finish on these wheel balancers are really nice. I have not installed them yet but from what others say about the ride I am looking forward to it. I am looking forward to a good season. |

Yes, you have to drill holes in your "baby". Yes, they make it a little harder to close the trunk lid. Yes, the tips break off if you pull them through wrong (which is why they give 5 - one to ruin). But they work as advertised and the instructions and templates could not have been better. R.B.B.B.s rock! |

Love me tender.... Even charged the truck battery with this puppy. It's idiot-proof, so just get this and be done with it. (My apologies to all the idiots.) |
