Used for the first time at this years Rolling Thunder. Carried a cooler with water bottles and ice. Really worked very well. Only time I knew it was there was when moving bike forward off the center stand. Suggest not putting cooler on rack when on center stand. |
Just received my backrest, and had it installed in less than 30 minutes. Tools required: drill, 9/32" drill bit, searated knife (to easily cut a "slot" in the foam of seat), a couple of adjustable or socket wrenches, and a hex key (to tighten the angle of the backrest to a comfortable position for me.) Easy install, looks great. What more could you ask for? |
I thought, and stated in another review that the shark gill fairing accents was the best looking accessory to install, but I don't know. They are both very nice looking. |
Installed in June 08, still looks new. Cleans up good, and looks very good. |
Fit good and looks great. Fender looked very dull without it. |
I installed these lights in June 08. I run them day and night. I have the switch to turn them off but do not. Have had no problem with them. You need all the lights you have on bike left on. I KNOW, I have been down, big time, and hurt very bad. My family tells me I'm crazy for riding again, but I love it. I believe if a horse throws you, get back on. |
Have had these on for about eight mo. and like them very much. Think they are one of the best looking accessory you can install I also installed the crome radiator accent grill's and that makes it look even better. |
Easy install and one thing that you need. On the 08 with ABS you would have to cut an opening on one of the pocket doors for any other type guage that I have seen. I mounted it on the fork like the picture shows, next or after the Model # and run the wires down under the left pocket. Took my VOM and found a hot wire with switch on. It is very easy to see even on a bright day. |
Easy install. I installed the light smoke on my pearl white 08 and they look great. They sure help in the hot humid state of Florida. Trying to make up what mind I have left on getting the Hand wing or blind spot mirrow. |
I orderd this scoop trim about a year ago. When it arrived with other parts I thought it wouldn't look good. Yesterday I installed it, and I was wrong again in my whole life. That thing looks very good. I guess you can't always believe yoursalf. |
These were not hard to install. greased the shifter with lithium grease and it has not hung up. Brake side had too much tilt in the floor board for me. Had to tweek it a bit to get it where I wanted it. Took 3 tries to get brake peddle where I wanted it. Overall I like the floorboards and feel the bike should have came out with them. I don't like a heel shifter but I am trying to get use to it. Seems the heel shifter is too high. Still find myself shifting wrong. I am trying to figure a way to keep the floorboards and shift with the toe only. May have to do my own engineering |
I love this rack. I hardly ever go anywhere without it. Last year I took a trailer on our annual 3 week trip. This year I am going to put 1 carry-on luggage on it and that's it. Done with the trailer. I do wish though that they made a locking mechanism to lock it to the hitch. |
