| I bought these and ended up literally throwing them in the trash. The money you save is NOT worth it. The adjustments are pure friction, no pins or detents, and you haven't lived until one of them gives way at 80 mph in the HOV lane of a SoCal freeway. I found I could not torque the 1/2" x 13 bolt enough to keep the right side from slipping (the right side is where the weight of your foot tries to UNdo the bolt). I tried three different types of lock washer without success. I finally went out and bought the Kury Ergo II's instead, and they work fine. |
| I just returned from a 100 day, 15,000 mile tour around the USA (https://www.darnton.ws/~USA_2009_Motorcycle_Tour/) using this windshield. The even taller scratch-resistant GL1800 F4 windshield was not available at the time or I might have bought it, but that's lot more $$. This WS did fine. A Hondaline part, it dropped perfecly into the mount. Installation was straightforward and instructions were clear. I'm 6'6" with a 33" inseam, so I am very tall in the torso. This WS at full extension (5 clicks above the bottom) brought the top of the WS to about 1/2" below my sightline to the horizon, exactly where I wanted it. IMHO you do NOT want to have to look through a windshield with bugs and rain on it. In rain with WS at full extension, most drops go overhead when above 50 mph. In all but the heaviest rain I rode with regular prescription glasses with my faceshield up, no problem. In heat I lowered the WS all the way to increase ventilation. The WS had no problems even at 100+ mph or in 50 mph crosswinds. I was happy with the stock width and would not go wider unless I knew I'd be getting into really cold weather (coldest it got on my trip was 44). If you're REALLY tall you might need another 2" in height and might consider the (scratch-resistant) F4, but barring a need for more height (4" extra rather than 2"), I wouldn't pay the extra $120. Just get this one. I like the tint/blackout where it goes into the fairing. There WILL be scratches there - why allow them to be visible? It also protects the dash from sun. And the OEM vent fit perfectly in the new WS. Anyone want my old stock WS? |
| If I realized how small it was I wouldn't have ordered it. Its the size of a large breast pocket. You might get 2 packs of smokes and maybe a lighter in it. Couldn't fit a camera. Would fit 1 can of pop. |
| After 14,000 miles, I have no cupping on my front tire. Both tires still have plenty of tread. I have Bridgestones on and love these balancers. |

I had these on my 07 and they look great, but if you live in a warmer climate you will feel the heat coming out on your legs when you use your highway pegs. I just got a new 09 and will not put these back on again. Not a user friendly item in AZ. |
| We just returned from a cross country trip and this rack bag was great. We used it to store our rain gear and other things that we wanted to get at quickly. Well worth the price and really well made. |
| fits great easy to install plus it looks cool |
| dry fit first, had to bend the ends to fit properly. you shouldn't have to bend things to make them fit properly |
| Fits well easy to install however the chrome has started to peel off in one spot after two months use |
| Easy to install. Only took me 1.5 hours with the downloaded instructions. |
| just got the headset on thursday 8/20/09, took a five hour ride ,the sound it top, my wife said the mic was clear. for those who are having a problem with the wind muting the radio, try adjusting the ic mute level to around 10 or 11 this really works. if you adjust the ic volume to around 14 or so this really helps also. i agree the cord is too heavy and causes my left to hurt so i put a clip on the cord and clip it to my vest to take the pressure off my ear. this is the only real gripe i have. thus the 3 stars |
| I'm having the same concerns....in my area by the time I see it with all the delays I'll be under a foot of snow |
