Debated between this trailer hitch and the staff pick Item #: AO451806 for $149. I sent an email to CWOLAW for his instructions. They were 12 pages long and required the loosening of the mufflers and saddlebags. (Not my cup of tea) He was wonderful for sending the instructions and his instructions were very detailed, but some people still had problems with gaps when reinstalling the body pieces. Taking the cost of time into consideration I chose the Kuryakyn and I am glad I did. The entire install took 2 hours from start to finish, even with making a mistake. I also installed the isolator with the relay Item #: AO451819. All this was included in the 2 hours. The only problem was I was installing the hitch onto a 2008. This years model has a box right smack dab in the middle in the back. It has a large heat sink and I am not sure what it is for, but I do know that it should be left alone. Despite this small difference the only thing I had to do was bend the c clamp part a little in order to get it behind the crossbar. There is very little space between the crossbar and the saddlebag. I had to force it but it did work. The only tow negative aspects to the whole process is the long bolts that attach the clamps to the bars going back are a little long and I had to be careful not the damage the saddlebags. Second is the bolts are different sizes and you need more sockets than they say are required. Overall a strong piece of equipment on the bike. I have no doubts that it can handle the trailer. |
It took me more like 5 hr to install the matching trunk and saddle bag moldings on my bike. Instructions were adequate, but I encountered a fit problem with the saddle bag molding and could have used better pictures or hints at this point. My problem was excess body paint preventing the leading screw stanchion on the saddlebag molding from making it *into* the hole on the bag, which prevented the molding from resting flush with the bag. Once I found this, a quick cleanout with a pocket knife put me back in business and they look great. The lack of lighting on the sides of the bike always bothered me, and these kits are just what you need to solve that problem... and they look sharp. |
Install was not difficult. Instructions were good. Installation took about 2 hours. These are just what my Wing needed. |
Good product....easy to use...and it works....keeps the bike clean..keeps me looking at the all the connections...a clean bike is a safe bike! |
I've used this product, as well as the junior version...both work great! I've used with the clamps and then added the plug...for simplicity...My bikes are always charged and ready to roll! A must have! |
I have used this product on both Harley-Davidsons and BMW motorcycles....works great...I've used with both conventional and Gel batteries....a must have for any motorcyle rider! |
I had Honda luggage when I had my GL1500 and this luggage is every bit as good at a fraction of the price. Thanks WingStuff... |
I love this cover. It fits like a glove. Easy to go on and easy to take off. The half cover works very well, and the price is right. Thanks WingStuff. |
Works and looks good. Durability may be an issue but so far no problems. |
These are great for making it much easier to clean under your rack. They look good also. Just be careful as they are touchy to install if you are using with an existing rack that has already been drilled. You will need to do some adjustment. |
This thing works. It fits perfect and adds an extra level of class to an otherwise mundane piece of hardware. I like the way it adds bulk to the remote making it feel more robust. Also keeps it from making noise on bumpy roads. |
Nice little product at a reasonable price. I like the added protection and the piece of mind it provides knowing that my bike will not be scratched up by my remote. |
