| Wow, this lights up the trunk and the area around the rear of the bike. In a parking garage or in the early morning when getting ready to go to work, this is a must. This light provides a bright white light that lights up the trunk and surrounding area on the ground. The position is much better than the pre 2018 models. In the lid of the trunk the light is shining down into the trunk and not into your eyes. |
| This was easy to install, but make sure you pay attention to the routing of the wire. The instructions are specific to how it is routed and it may not seem intuitive. The inside liner of the trunk lid has a specific fit, so the wire must be routed where the instructions tell you. The lid is marked with lines to show the locations and direction of the wire and where the corner of the tape is supposed to go. |
| I added this when I was installing the rack. I chose this model instead of others because I wanted a light that went from off to on and present a significant change to the back of the bike when I applied the brake. It is dark here in Washington state 9 months of the year when I go to and return home from work. I have seen may other Goldwings with the running/brake light functions and it looks great, but the sudden change in lights from dark to bright makes the cars behind you take notice. |
| This was easy to install, just take your time in the removal of all the various parts to get to the trunk lid. If you are going this far you should also install the trunk light and brake light at the same time since the disassembly is the same amount of work. I used RV silicon spray on a paper towel to lubricate all of the rubber parts that the instructions said to use soap on. It worked great! The rack looks great and is very solid. It is a must have install on your 2024 Goldwing. It makes a great handle to open and close the trunk because of the shape of the holes on the rack. |
| The lights were easy to install with the help of the video from Gold Strike. The cables could be a few inches longer, as I was barely able to reach the distribution block placed next to the gas tank and directed by the gold strike installation video. Lights look great |
| The Gold Strike Distribution Block makes connecting lighting to the bike a breeze and doesn't add any load to the bikes electrical system. |
| The covers were easy to install with the help of the video from Gold Strike. |
| I like these so far. They perform as advertised however, I did not have an easy time with installation. I used the tape and the screws. It was pretty straightforward except the top holes were not properly aligned. It was so frustrating b/c the angle is just very difficult to reach repeatedly; turned a 10 min job into over an hour and a lot of sweat. If the top hole was anything like the bottom hole, it would’ve been a breeze. |
| light works great and looks great too. When installing it one of the critical items is to use blue splice connectors on 5 wires. The splice connectors are made for trailer wiring and are therefore best used on wire gauges like 16ga found on a normal trailer. But the wiring harnesses you are splicing to on this kit are more like 20 gauge. The splice connectors will still work but you really have to crimp them very hard to get a connection. When I first wired everything up, the only part of the light that was working was the brake light. After a few hours of disassembling to check things I finally flashed on these small gauge wires and I put my pliers to them harder than I had ever squeezed on an electrical connection in my life. After that all but the running lights started working so I took the running light wire back down and squeezed even harder when re-crimping. Now everything works. Nothing wrong with this kit if you know that one little thing. I called Show Chrome in the middle of all this and they were as helpful as possible and quickly offered to send a new unit out so no complaints on them. Just put on your Man Panties and crank on those blues splices harder than you think you should and you'll like the result |
| This light is bright enough to be useful. Expensive but useful. But what you need to know when installing it is that the bike basically has to be back together 100% or it won't work. The light comes on if the trunk (or saddlebags) are open and it stays on for a few minutes. After a few minutes it goes off and it won't come back on unless you close the trunk and open it again. When you want to test it before finishing re-assembly, you will also find that it won't come on at all if the seat and backrest are not plugged in. So you think your trunk light is broken but it's not. Put the bike completely back together or else be creative in having it back together enough to test. Took me HOURS of reassembly, disassembly and reassembly to learn this little quirk. |
| I was excited to have a solution for being ignored early morning at traffic lights. This little magnet did hot improve my luck at all. Maybe 4 or 5 of them strapped to the bike would help. |
| I have a 2023 Touring in black and these look so nice. Install was easy. Only issue I have that I need to at some point look at is the left side doesn't flex all the way up like my right side does. It has to do with the kickstand. I like the position it is mounted in, so that is why I haven't changed it yet. I haven't taken any extreme curves or turns that put me in jeopardy of hitting the floorboard on the road, but I do worry in a left lean or turn I won't have the flex that is needed. Just an observation I wanted to share in case this is something you run into. I recommend installing the left board first to see if you like the position with flex, so you then install it on the right side the same way. I started with the right side and didn't want to have to redo it or have my feet not in the same position on each side. Regardless, I love them and find them to have elevated my comfort greatly. |
