they really look nice in the package. I don't see how on earth they would ever line up with the luggage rack without some modification to the existing holes. I would be open to any suggestions. |
5 minute installation. Really looks nice. definately worth it. |
Nice, not to hard to install. Laid down masking tape, put it place traced the braket drilled in the center. Really looks nice. |
I'm no knee-dragger, but I can keep up with most sports bikes due to the quality of these tires and the capabilities of the GL1800. I have little to compare to since these are the tires that came on my 2007 Wing, but the tires that came stock on my 2001 Shadow Sabre were nowhere near as good. Operating each of these bikes over the same roads is like night and day. The Shadow always felt like it was slipping out, even with the added weight of a passenger, whereas the 1800 feels like it is glued to the road all the time. I'm surprised these tires can do as well as they do and still last 10 - 12 k miles. |
This is the first set of replacement tire for this bike. (2005 with 11000 miles) Would not use them again. Front end started to wobble the day they were installed. Going back to the Dunlop........... |
Bought a set for my GL 1800 when Dunlop was on strike. Had to replace the rear because it was causing the bike the bike to wobble so bad I thought it was going to flip. Replaced the front because it had cuped so bad it was very rough riding and handling. Both had less than 4000 mi. Wouldn't have another set for free under me! |
I installed the black one, and turned it upside down, just to be out of the norm. The contour is a little off. |
This one is a great new look, and for the moment I am the only one in the great N/W that I have noticed, but as I keep recieveing comments I know it won't last. I have both the tip and the triceptor and, Love it. |
Bought it for a tour in June and must say it was excellent. Very snug fit and the straps exactly where they should be for a little extra security. |
Ok to install and looks like it was always there. Helps to lift the lid with gloves. |
Expensive, easy to install, look great. |
Bit startling when you look at all the stuff you have to remove before putting it back together, hopefully without ending up with screws left over! Very good looking and my wife loves them. |
