I think it looks a little odd while attached to the stand while down. But it sure stopped the kickstand from sinking into asphalt! Took only a few minutes to install, and well worth the money. |

Really finishes off the look of the trunk. The paint matched my 06 titanium perfectly. The extra brake light really adds to the visibility of the bike from behind. |
| These are the business, they really add bling to the side of the bike and cover up the exposed frame. They only take five minutes to fit and its made even easier if you have a friend to hold back the tank panel until you secure the holding screws. Then its easy to press the top into position. Great product. |
| This is a must have if you do any work on your Goldwing. Some photo's are too small and too close, so perception is sometimes difficult, but it will pay for itself just showing how to get the bodywork off. |
| Nice piece of equipment. I bashed my thumb nail, but that was my fault for not applying the wrench properly. When used as intended it is very effective. |
| Quick delivery. Easy to fit. Very good quality. Very comfortable in conjunction with the backrest. |

Just had dealer install Backoff XP. Unit only flashes. Will not finish the cycle with the constant on. Tried both modes. The repeat and one time only cycle. Will flash only with no constant on in either mode. Called the manufacturer. Seems the GL1800 draws 11 amps with all brake lights. XP unit has a built in failsafe cut off switch at 10 amps. It would be hardware upgrade to fix the unit. Then Why sell to Goldwing owners? The original Back Off will work up to 15 amps but has no failsafe. It could get too hot if you run too much amperage through it. They gave me 2 options. 1. Upgrade to LED taillights. They do not pull as many amps and the unit will cycle as it should. 2. Run to the upper brake lights only. The bottom lights will light up when brake applied but only the top/trunk lights will run through the flash/constant on cycle using the once only mode or the repeat mode. Should still be sufficient to be seen. The unit needs to be mounted in the trunk for this. My option 3 was to just take it back for a refund. Still thinking on that. |
| Installed this on a 2009 GL1800. Picked this brand over others. Just wanted it to match and be of good quality. Installation is a piece of cake. Marks on in the trunk as advertised. As the instructions say, start with a small drill bit and work your way up. If you don't have metric drill bits, search the web for a conversion chart and always pick the smaller bit that is close to the size you need. I used this conversion chart (https://www.csgnetwork.com/drillsizeconvert.html) You can all ways make the hole a little bigger if needed. I wasn't too excited about drilling holes in my wing with only 2000 miles on it though. I agree with others that trying to set the SWR is pretty much impossible using the motorolla type ends that are on the antenna and CB radio. SWR meter is expecting PL-259 type of connections. Went to Radio Shack and found a series of adapters to go from Motorolla to BNC to PL-259. With the added length (almost 3 inches) to the antenna side using the adapters, the SWR reading was relative high. I'm hoping, as others have asked, that the antenna and CB radio (both Honda Brand) are somewhat pre-matched as far as the SWR is concerned. However, reception is great. Have not had a chance yet to determine transmission distance. Regardless, it looks great and balances out the rear end of the bike. |

I like these tires. I had always ridden on Dunlops on the old Wing and left them on the new Wing until the guys at WingStuff convinced me to try the "Stones". The first thing I noticed is that the sidewall is a lot more rigid than the Dunlops. Really woke me up on the first tight turn I made. Took a bit of getting used to, but it also seems to help me with slow speed stability. I've had them on the bike for almost a year now. They are quiet and comfortable and I'll be buying them again when they wear out. |
| This is a great product. The quality is excellent and it provides a nice shine in area. I only wish I used velcro instead of two-sided tape in case I ever have to remove it. |
| Recently purchased a Kuryakyn windshield that was defective and after calling Wingstuff customer service they were great about taking it back and recommending I try the F4 GL1800 windshield instead. I know why they recommended it, the F4 windshield gave my wife and I good wind protection compared to my stock windshield and has a slippery surface that makes cleaning very easy. I ordered the +2 so I can still adjust it up and down like the stock windshield, I almost bought the +4, but it has a fixed height and I'm not very tall so this worked just great for both of us. Highly recommend! Frank |
| GREAT ADDITION TO MY BIKE. TOOK OTHERS ADVISE AND REMOVED THE FENDER. THIS TAKES A LITTLE LONGER BUT IT ALLOWS YOU THE ABILITY TO LINE UP EVERYTHING IN PLACE,SECURE IT AND THEN DRILL THE HOLES.SHOULD HAVE ADDED THIS SOONER. LOOKS GREAT AND HELPS KEEP THE ROAD FILM OFF THE THE BIKE |
