Materials are high quality. That being said there is one thing that I did not like. The back bolt, which fits into a slot in the frame, was very frustrating to install correctly. The bottom of this bolt has a slot in it to thow the correct orientation. I do not have a lift to get my bike up in the air. So it was impossible to see the slot. It would have been awesome to have that slot be deep enough to fit a slowed screw driver into it. This would serve 2 purposes, it would be a good way to control the bolt and it would be easy to get it correctly lined up. I ended up using a Dremel tool and a cut off disc to cut a very shallow slot into the bottom of the bolt and that did the trick. The right side bracket was no problem. The left side is way to hard unless you take the side bottom cover off. Once that was out of the way, it was easy. One thing I was concerned about was that the left side bracket where it bolts to the engine guard was not sitting flush against the engine. Dont worry, once you tighten the 12 mm bolt to the side of the engine, the soft aluminum bracket arm will confirm and sit flush. I pushed the belly pan as high as it would go and tightened it. Be aware of your hoses that come out near the center stand... Don't let them get smashed between the exhaust pipes, slide them over towards the outter left side of the bike. Over all it's a quality product and I expect it to last forever. |
This holder is great! I have 3 of them total on different bikes. Very durable and well made. Recommend to anybody. |
Added to both sides. Nice to rest hands on longer rides, especially when using cruise control. These are high quality and easy to add to the end of the grips. |
I like the look as well as the added comfort due to the larger diameter than the smaller stock grip. You can tell a big difference after longer rides. Good quality and a quick simple install. Highly suggest adding the larger grips. |
What else is there to say that others having already said complementing the Utopia Backrest. In my opinion this is a must buy. Recently purchased for my new 23 trike and what an improvement in the ride. This is my second Utopia backrest. I had another brand that was already on a bike I purchased that was no where as comfortable. Highly recommend. My wife likes the pocket and doesn't have an issue getting on or off with the backrest in place as it can lower down. |
I wanted something to operate the garage door without having to rig up a place for the remote or get my phone out. This works from several hundred feet away. The installation instructions now incorporate the shortcuts that are shown in the videos for the top shelter. They still want you to take the entire back of the bike apart, so follow the instructions from the video. I used RV silicone spray to get the gromet to pull through, don't get stingy, soak the gromet and the hole and wipe up the excess after you get it pulled through. |
Love this trunk rack. The reason I bought this was to mount the Honda OEM LED Brake Light. I did not want to drill into the trunk lid with the aftermarket LED lights. Somewhat expensive, but like the looks and quality of the rack. Thumbs up to WingStuff for fast shipping and a great price!! |
Twin Rail’s upper surface presents a flatter contact with rider boot, compared to original. Feels sturdier and looks good with matching highway pegs. Plus their angle adjustment feature offers another improvement over Honda stock. |
Wheel weights can fall off. Ceramic beads can play hell with the tire valve. Centramatics just work. Five stars! |
I’ve always liked them for each of my 3 Gold Wings, past and present ‘18 Tour. Superior ride with superior tread life. |
I do like that the unit for ‘18-‘20 mounts to the right or left lid hinge and does not require any drilling; nor does it mount on the plastic trunk body, which can crack over time. One other minor point: the bracket comes painted black, not chrome as illustrated - one star deduction. |
As another reviewer notes: it mounts with bars, not Velcro as shown such that it protrudes, limiting space for helmet storage ( 3/4 size OK but NOGO on modular or full face). Product description doesn’t include that unit comes with a very nice tool pouch, that I like; good for me since Honda does not provide one on the U.S. units. |
