| Purchased hitch last spring and installed on on my 06. Pulled a trailer from Cleve., OH to Billings, MT and back. (5,200 miles total). No problem at all! Installation was fairly easy but pictures on instructions are worthless. I like the hidden hitch idea. Mine fit perfect though I had to pry here & there to align bolt holes. Good product at a good price but I would pay a couple bucks more for better installation instructions. |
| Looks good fits good brings out the color on my metalic red wing great product |
| The look is great BUT, the teeth use to adjust the position is a little weak, and can be broken if you ride at speeds above 80mph often. So needless to say the one I have is broken. I'm not sure if I will buy another one or not. |

See the install video and detailed instructions here: https://www.goldwingfacts.com/1800Utopiabackrest.htm This backrest looks almost factory OEM. Installation was easy, but it was a little nerve racking cutting a hole in my seat. It felt awkward at first. It took me a few hundred miles before I started forgetting it was there. However, I can say that I used to have back and shoulder and neck pain after a few hours riding before. Now I can ride all day and not feel any strain in the back, neck, or shoulders. |
| Nice quality product. Allows the whole plate to be read, unlike some other manufacturers frames. Get the reflective wing nuts at the same time. |

These were already on the bike when we bought it & @ 5'10" they work great, very comfortable, easy to adjust. They are several years old & still look like new. A very solid & heavy duty product. |

Very easy to install, perfect fitting, beautiful chrome, look great. This is a wonderful CP addition. |
| P.S. Nope, sorry...can't get the rubber portion of the grips off the Hondaline grips to get them painted to match the bike (see my previous review) I'll keep watching the website to see if somebody comes up with something for a color match for the comfort package. As usual, will let you know. |
| Need a bit more storage space for stuff? This will do it. Large enough inside to store a small first aid kit. Well made hard leather with a quality zipper. Made to fit over the left fairing pocket door and won't interfere with access to the left fairing pocket. Clips on so you can take it with you. Re-attaches easily. Waterproof? Seems to be. Maybe someone else can review that issue. If not, I'll include a P.S. later. |
| P.S. You'll have to notch out the fairing molding at where they attach to get them to fit right. No problem! You can do it! Just take your time. On a recent trip I dealt with 60 mph cross winds for awhile. They sure can help with the buffeting in conjustion with the lower set. The adjustments certainly aid in stability. |

Small, functional and fits into a compact case with my air compressor. Learn how to use it before you set out on a trip. Practice on an old unservicable tire if you can find one. You never know where you'll be and what the weather will be like when you need it. A heavy downpour on the side of a dark highway is not the place to learn how to use it. Consider keeping it in the right saddlebag for safety on that Interstate with a soft shoulder. (Keeps you further away from roadway and traffic when you're trying to get at it. |
| You can't drive on a military base without one. (No, I don't wear one when I'm not on base) but, for the price it'll be what you need to keep the MP's and SP's off your back. Good item to use at an accident scene. Folds up nicely into my tank bag. |
