| Installed these tires and drove cross country and back. 7200 miles. Just about made it home the vibrations were horrible. 41 PSI...The tires are badly cupped and I had them replaced with Elite 3's. DO NOT PURCHASE THESE TIRES!!! |
| here goes... got for use with 99 venture with shortee helmet. I gave them a 6 day 1450 mile test here is what I found. First for the price I recommend, the wind problem in mic was solved by installing mic on/off switch from air rider plugged right in-line. Next problem was headband murdered the ears after a couple hours especially with sunglasses, went to the optional goggles strap that helped but by day 3 ears really hurting. Finally tied to helmet staps to take pressure off and that worked really well. All and all we loved using them for our first headset ever. The price was right even with the on/off. and for long trips tie to helmet, really like the fact that we can use without helmet since we live in Ohio |
| Nice look, works good at low speed, added to 2006+ Newer GL1800 owners with Heated Grips. |
| Just got them today, but can tell you that they were easy to install and and went for a short ride and could tell that they are going to make a big difference. I only hope the crome holds out. |
| I wish I could give it more stars. An absolute for any maintenance!! |
| this is the stuff..these things work great and stay tight |
| ordered these and wasn't sure if they would work, next weekend I rode 700 miles in the rain ,they worked great Im glad I had them.fit super over a glove and stay on your finger. |
| Excellent fit, even on a trike. Easy on and off. |
| I have bought this unit but have yet to install it, first impressions on receiving the product are of the poor quality finnish. This is an expensive piece of kit, I would think that production quality needs to be stepped up dramatically and for instance a powder coated finish would be advantageous, will comment further once I have installed and road tested. |
| addendum...I have the dyna beads in these tires. I wonder if that might be why the rear is so bad? I doubt it. |

This is an update. With 3,500 miles on new Avons, I left for my annual trip around the Northwest Volcanoes. No trailer, only sidebags packed. At 4,000 miles, rear tire started making a bit of noise. Noticed light cupping (already?). Pressure at 42 PSI... I know the urban myth, that twisty roads burn off cupping. Well, I finished 3,800 miles of winding roads through Or, Wa, Id, Mt, back thu Or, and home to Norcal. My rear tire, at 7,300 miles is jumping around, LOUD, and the cupping is at least 1/2" difference one side of tread to the other. Checked pressure...41.5 PSI cold. My Metzlers never dupped this bad. Would change previous rating I gave, to zero stars, but front tire is like brand new, which tells me to try another rear and see. If it junks out, I am going back to Metz. At least there, I KNOW what I am buying, and they don;t have that poor slow speed `walk'. |
| Wow, talk about service. Wingstuff president Rick Arnoldo left me a voice message and followed up with an email this morning about the black snap caps I received with the chrome windwings. He explained that it was a snafu at bakerbuilt. They normally send out black caps with the black hardware and chrome caps with the chrome ones. They are replacing the black caps with chrome ones. Thanks Wingstuff and Rick. Your dedication to customer service is greatly appreciated! |
