I have run Metzeler tires on many bikes and have had a few bad ones. However I have had bad tires from every manufacture I have ever tried in the last 600,000 plus miles! The stock Dunlop tires on my GL1800 lasted 6000 miles before they vibrated though every minor turn. My replacement Metzeler have 12,000 and are still going strong. If the next set give out at 4000 miles, then I guess I just buy new tires and they will be Metzeler, Dunlap’s, or Michelin if they come out with something different. I have had fairly good luck with Bridgestone’s but have had some really bad one there as well! Pirelli is about the only tire I will never own again! Which is the best tire? That really depends on the rider/operator’s willingness to keep them at proper inflation pressures and the way that rider...well... rides! Every tire company is going to turn out an occasional bad tire or even a series of tires. What can you do? Try to go with the best that is here and now, and forget brand loyalty. The Metzeler tires are good, give them a try and most likely you be more than satisfied with them. |

I’ve been running these since the winter of 2006 and they work! I choose the light gray because I thought that they would blend in with the color of my Titanium paint. They do, to the point that you don’t even notice them on the bike. Installation is a no-brainer and removal for cleaning around the immediate area is easy. Down side is that they are made of very thin material. All the same I would replace them, if needed, with the same item. |

I tried brand “X”! Seemed a better deal and had doodads I could adjust= WOW! It is now part of the growing litter problem along I-40 near Winslow, AZ. It broke of in the wind. So now I have this little item and it is far better made than “Brand X”! The real bad point is that it cost what 5, 10 bucks more, and no doodads to mess with= Darn! |
| I never used this product but i would like to find out about it.Should i use thick oil to get rid of the clanking noise when changing gears? |

Great Rack and extremely well made! Before you install it make sure that you can live with the height or I should say space between the trunk top and the bottom of the rack. Why? Two reasons: 1. unless you have very small hands you are going to have a problem cleaning and waxing the top of your trunk. 2. If you also buy the part number KU7154 Kuryakyn Rack Risers that problem is mostly solved. But you might not like that much height. Figure out which way you want it first, BEFORE you drill the holes in your trunk. If you goof, and install the rack and then later want the risers, (or vicea-versa), the holes ARE NOT GOING TO MATCH UP. If you try to bend the rack or stretch the rack to fit the holes, or maybe just elongate the holes... well,... think what your trunk lid is going to look like with CRACKS!!! With the risers you also have better load distribution on the trunk lid. The rack is made for around a 5 pound load. Most people I know push that up to more like 25 – 30 pounds, with out damaging their trunk lid. That is, unless they got the holes wrong. Still, after you have installed this, try to keep the weight down. If for no more than safety! |

Good head work! If you read and heed before you take off a part you’re not familiar with, then maybe you won’t break a part that costs twice as much as this manual! Or break a part that puts your bike down on a beautiful spring day with that mountain road you’ve been planning to investigate all winter long. Ever wonder how in the devil that connector or fitting comes apart –or- maybe the engine? Here’s the answer. Downside: Not exactly a pocket book! It weights around 10 pounds. Maybe even more. |

Bought one for wife and myself. 20 oz for me and 34 for her Never take a long trip without them. excellent purchase |
| I wish this would be included in package with trunk light so you would see how much the light really costs. |
| Took some work but the end product is worth it. Two modes one, on off by switch and two, on when lid is up and off when lid is down. |
| Great value, Compact, net bag keeps them in place out of the way. |
| Great look, easy to install. You may have to adjust your exhaust pipes a bit to make them straight. |
| A must have. Worth every penny. Well written and illustrated. |
