Since I have received more than a couple of e-mails about this I thought I’d submit this post. Disclaimers: I don't know if this is good on any other than 2006 model Goldwings. This is for hooking up the modulator to the trunk lights only, leaving the saddlebag lights to function normally. This is for do-it-yourselfer’s who aren’t afraid of working on motorcycles or wiring. There may be a better way to install this that I have overlooked. I take no responsibility for the accuracy of my memory. After removing the rear tire cover (what the license plate mounts to) you should see a good size bundle of wiring with a cover and some plugs. If you look closely you'll see that a smaller group leaves on the left & right side going toward the front of the bike and then upward. Note: I had already traced these groups of wires back down from the trunk lighting by removing the bottom of the trunk but once you know where it is it's not necessary to do this. I carefully cut back the tape on these two bundles to expose the wires inside them. Even in good light it may be difficult to identify the green wire with the red stripe. (hint: there will be only one wire of this color combo in each bundle). I clipped this wire on both sides, verifying one at a time by hitting the brake that I had the correct wire. Now it's just a matter of following the instructions that came with the modulator to tie into these wires. I soldered my wiring using shrink wrap to insulate my connections but you can use whatever method you’re familiar with to make the connections. Just make sure you wrap the bundles back up with good quality electrical tape since this area gets some road spray off the rear tire. This would be especially true for northerners with salt on the roads in fall, winter, & spring. There is plenty of room to mount the modulator back in this area. Just make sure that it and the wiring are out of the way of re-installing the rear tire cover. Enjoy the added safety. |

The grips are great fit my hand without cramping, the heat transfers to the front two rubber just as the stock grip transfers heat (stock grips only heats the front half). If installed with two sided tape not the tape provided and mounted correctly they are fantastic. I am very pleased with this product. Waiting for 6242 ISO throttle boss which only fits this grip. I rate this product a 4 only because of the substandard tape provided. Cheers Bare |
| A must for cell phone recharging and other 12 volt accessories requiring power. I have one in the left fairing pocket (which is powered ignition on only) and one in the trunk (which is powered off the battery) Both were easy installs and the factory bike male part of the connectors were right where I installed the sockets. |
| Installed two in the last week, The first one took it longer but took off more than was needed the second one went very smoothe. He i note there has been a upgrade of these so they work right on our lights, the diffence in the units seems to be the size of the white and red wire which is larger on the right module. looks good. I wired up to the top brake lights only left lowers alone. |
| Great Price and very much high quality item. Really makes a difference in the looks. Obviously it's simple to install, well worth the money. |
| Easy install and a good device to have to make sure charging system is working |
| Very nice looking and strong. The fiber lock nut is just a little bit hard to tighten near the saddlebag otherwise easy install |
| Looks good, A nice addition, easy install. Much nice then the flat black/grey factory ones. |

These are great ONLY if you order these with the rack. Adding after new holes needed. They should have made the rack this high to start. |
| This is not a quality product, I wish I'd passed on them. If you really want to install these grips, throw away the adhesive supplied and find something better at the hardware store. As far as working once you get them on, they are just OK. I was able to align them properly and they feel fairly good, if you have large hands. But I have a feeling I'll be taking them off eventually, because the poor fit of the mating surfaces will cause them to work loose. |
| Put these on 10/06. My wife loves the comfort of the folding pegs. Wouldn't leave home without them. However, the chrome is starting to look like it has the pox. Unlike Kuryakyn. I expected the plating to last more than 6 months. |
| Even if you're not a chrome freak, these vents accentuate an area of the bike that needs it. Easy install. |
