| I too had these installed with the Centramatic Wheel Balancers. The ride has been awesome. With the stock tires I always had a hard time turning without the rear wheel trying to slide out. These babys grab the road like nothing I've had before. And to top it off... The shop that installed these for me tried to tell me that they could have sold them to me for the same price.....Until I showed them the reciept, their jaws dropped. They couldn't come within $100 on the rear alone. Then they tried to tell me they must have been sitting on a shelf for YEARS!!! Not with as many as these guys sell. 5 stars all the way. |

This thing is really very cool! Bought it at the same time I purchased the spoiler. Swapping the OEM lights out with these was a piece of cake. Running the wires down to the rear end where you have to make all the connections was NOT a piece of cake, but with a little effort and a couple of choice words I got it all put together. NOTE: After making the connections test the lights! The instructions tell you to hook up the new connector with the black wire to one of the existing plugs... problem is BOTH new connectors have TWO black wires! If you hook them up incorrectly the wrong turn signal will flash. If that happens just reverse the connections and you are good to go, but figuring that out AFTER you put the bike all back together would truly suck! Test it before you get it all back together! The lights work great and look awesome! I really like having additional running lights and turn signal lights up high on the trunk making it easier to see. Very pleased with this item! |

This is a great and inexpensive item that, in my opinion, is a must have! Just installed mine along with the ISO grips and I love it! Had throttle bosses on my other bikes and I can't imagine riding without one! When you get these things adjusted properly the heel of your hand does all the work and you don't get the fatigue associated with squeezing the grips all the time! And not only are they functional they look great, too! Highly recommended item! |

Just installed these on an '06 and they look great, but they were a sucker to get on! After much manipulation and even more epithets finally got them on. They are indeed significantly larger than the regular ISO grips which I had on my other bike, but I do like these... especially with the throttle boss! As others have mentioned the heat doesn't transfer as well as the stock grips, but I suppose that's to be expected. They do get warm and I have ridden several days in the last two weeks in temperatures in the 20's and 30's and have been comfortable with just a pair of regular leather gloves. So far I am quite happy with these grips and I like the way they look on the bike! |

Okay, this is a pricey little sucker, but OH MAN does it make the back of the bike look good! Got the color matched Cabernet Red for an '06 model. Installation is straight forward and the template provided in the instructions for drilling was a life saver! You have to drill five BIG holes in your trunk for this baby and the template takes the guesswork out of it and certainly adds to your piece of mind when applying drill bit to plastic! I swapped the OEM light bar out for the one that functions as a running light, brake light and turn signal. Love the way it looks and very happy to have some additional lighting up higher on the back of the bike! Like all things Honda the fit and finish are perfect! Love this spoiler! |
| Second one of these I have installed. Easy installation and unbelievably handy to have... keeps everything charged and ready to go. Inexpensive solution to the power problem. As far as I can tell works as well as the OEM unit and costs much less! Very happy with this purchase... for the second time! |
| This is a nice rack. Just got mine installed, along with a color matched spoiler and it looks great! Quality appears to be good and unlike some others there was no sign of rust in sight. Take your time during the installation and get it lined up properly because once you take a drill bit to the trunk you are pretty much committed! I like the looks of this rack compared to the flat ones... just a personal preference. Very happy with this item. |

Sorry to hear about your experience Tigger! I got lucky, I guess. My installation was fairly straight forward, although I will agree the instructions leave MUCH to be desired! Even though these things are adjustable, they are not infinitely adjustable... you pretty much have to find an angle for the arms and hope the ratcheting connector will lock it in somewhere close. With a little trial and error I found a spot that's comfortable and works well. The pieces appear to be of good quality... sturdy and heavy. We'll see how they hold up over time, but for now I'm happy with them. |
| I had a set installed on 2/13 by Wingstuff, along with a set of E3's. There was no minimum speed to achieve before they started working, it was instantanous. On the 40+ mile trip home I had the opportunity to venture into the upper speed area and found that even there it was smooth as silk. I will update this in 5 to 6 months to let folks know how they are doing. |
| This is the second bike I've installed one of these on. Love it! Great design and I really like the fact that there are no bars running up the side of the bike from the rear. Even doing this for the second time it's tough to take a knife to the seat, but it's all good in the end. Attaching the bolts from the bottom can be an exercise in frustration! Helps to have a second set of hands to push on the top of the seat. Can't say enough about this backrest! Absolute necessity on those REALLY long rides! My wife likes the pouch attached to the back too. All around one of the absolute best things you can put on the bike! |
| Second bike I've put this on. Love it! Beats the heck out of 8 or 10 lugs attached to the negative terminal of your battery! Put mine under the seat and it works great! |
| I have a 2008 Goldwing and I apparently ordered the wrong one. KU1475 Of course the bar on my Honda is shaped like a H and is 1 1/4" so I ordered the 1 1/4 Round H Bar. I got this for Christmas and live in Maine and just now could get at the bike to find out that it won't fit. I sent a note a week ago to Wingstuff and never heard back. Maybe someone know if I could just get the other piece to clamp on the Handlebar. Thanks [email protected] |
