Installed easily and works fine. Required trimming 1/2 inch off antenna to achieve 2.5:1 or less VSWR across the 40 channels. Work fine for short distance communications which is exactly what you should expect from 11 meters. A very experienced Goldwing rider told me to get the Honda CB. Some of the others were having problems he said. He's got over 600,000 miles on a wing and works at a dealership. I took his word on everything Goldwing related nd I've had no problems with my bike. |

Good price. Save more by joining the VIP club for $39. Fully integrated CB for the gl1800. Pricey, but IMHO it was worth the cost. Controls are at your fingertips and the audio is fully integrated with all of the wings other functions like radio and intercom. Installation isn't too bad, but google the web for "gl1800 cb install" to get the skinny on an easier method that doesn't require removal of the trunk. You also do not have to remove the top shelf. You can loosen it and find the connector saving you the trouble of popping all the wires. Get the Hondaline antenna. Installation is straight forward. Setting the SWR require me to trim about 1/2 inch off of the antenna to produce the 2.5:1 or less VSWR across the 40 channels. Works great for bike to bike communications and nice for traffic info on interstates from truckers. It's also a little scary to hear the truckers plotting against the cars and motorcycles, but I'm glad I know when I'm in range of a distraught trucker. My only gripe is the squelch only goes to 20 and it still lets strong signal through. It should stop everything at its top level. |

Installs easily, but the hooks kept coming loose. I tried several things to correct this problem and finally just hooked the hooks around the screws tha I'd backed out 1/16 inch. Then I found it just didn't hld stuff very well so I bought the Hopnel 3 pocket pouch and this now lives in a drawer. YMMV! |

It's a plain jane bag, but it's big and for $35, what do you want? It has a front zippered compartment that houses a tethered rain cover with an elastic bottom to keep it in place. Attachment is by many pieces of velcro. I used this bag on a recent 3800 mile tour during which we had a 4 hour ride in 50 mph cross winds. The cross wind was so strong my luggage bungeed to the back seat was actually moving 5 inches with those gusts. Any more wind and I'd have had to stop riding, but through it all this bag held tight and the deployed rain cover stayed put. I really figured it would be a fatality, but I guess that's why it's a "Staff's Pick." |

Well made little pouch. Has a zipper on the front and a heavy plastic flap covering the zipper. One warning: All the pictures I've seen of this pouch feature Goldwings with no air vent. When I tried mounting it on the dash I found the air vent was right in the way. I'm 5' 7" so I use the window all the way down and that doesn't leave much room for the pouch. By attaching it with velcro you have the option of using it in many places other than under the dash. |

Excellent strong product. Very pleased, not 1 but 2 each in a bag. A nice suprise, thank you WingStuff! |
| Looks good! Easy to install but take your time and get it right. |
| Have this, but never used on my bike. My boys and I pump up our bicycles with it though and it is incredible. |
| Don't yet know about the durability, but can vouch that these are some of the most frustrating pieces to add to your bike. I normally love everything Kuryakyn makes, but go for the boards. These aren't as adjustable as they make them out to be. Kuryakyn tried to make a good product here, but swung and miss. Also this is the only 1 star I have ever given any product. I have never gone below 3, but this one deserves it. No reflection on Wingstuff though, these guys are awesome. |

Good looking and high quality product, and lover operation after installed. BUT, NAV / Comfort Package owners beware!!! This product is designed to house three large rubber covered fuses just above the igintion, and under the cover. Little to no room in this area with NAV / Comfort package. Was able to squeeze all this into this area with some tie wraps, and 25 year of engineering background. Would not recommend for everyone... TF |
| Very easy to install and works great |
| Piece does not fit the curvature of the rear fender. Original adhesive tape on chrome trim did not hold despite carefully following installation instructions. Had to apply silicone adhesive and clamp for 72 hours to get it to stick. |
