Once again, i thank the other guys for their reviews,this tool makes oil changing easy and fast. thanks Lynn |
Highwayboards were the first things I added to my 'Wing. The installation is not a problem and the brackets have lots of adjustments. An installation tip: Set on the bike with your feet in about the right position while a buddy makes adjustments. Once you are dialed in, lock down the hardware. I have had some of the fasteners loosen; use Loc-tite and there should not be a problem I scrape the tips when doing tight street turns, but they have always folded up, no big deal.

I purchased two sets in Spring of 06. Installation is simple and they look great! However, during my annual 6,000 mile coast-to-coast-to-coast run I lost both of the mini-masts. The first fell off after about 4,000 miles and the second sometime between my last gas stop and home - found it wedged against my day bag and luggage rack. I have just ordered a new set - they look that good - but will do things not in the instructions: 1) install hardware with Loc-tite and 2) peen the threads. That should keep the buggers in place!

OK ... I see 17 ratings of "5" Stars and now you see mine at a lowly "2." Here is my take on this floor board/shifter set: + Look Great + Comfortable + Fold up - you don't have to straddle the floor boards when your feet are on the ground for extended periods (and is required to lower the side stand.) - The shifter sucks: - it can not be tighened fully - it rattles when underway - the spread between the toe and heel must be for someone with a shoe size smaller than a 11. (I wear a 12 - no room!) The Honda dealer advises me that they have not found a single person who likes the shifter. Folks love the floor boards and tend to re-install the original toe shifter. Not pretty, but better than having the heel-toe version fall off in the desert. I also ride a H-D FLHTCUI (Electra Glide Ultra Classic). If only the Kuryakyn could relicated that solid feel they would have a winner. Hammer "Until they are home ... " |
I love mine. My wife loves not having to stand up to get off the bike. I went to a Diamond Seat and backrest and was glad to finally get the stock seat padding in the front adjusted for me so I could get back to this backrest. It looks better and feels better. |
Ditto with all reviews. Compact, easy to put on and off, felt lining over windshild. Protects my money pit perfectly. |
A must have item if you purchase the shark gills. Solid and dressy. Glad I have them now. Didn't want them at first. |
I'm 5' 11" and 375 lbs. This little puppy is perfect for the added girth wind deflection. Would recommend caulk or rubber cement for metal slide caps, mine keep popping out and I have to remove the nose panel to fix. |
Love the look. Wanted color matched but wife vetoed choice. Immediately noticed radiator heat hitting legs. Had to purchase wind wings and leg wings to correct air flow again. Still like em tho. |
When I added the shark gills, I noticed an increase of radiator heat rolling back to my knees so I found out that this product pulls the heat out into the side air flow and away from my knees. Excellent product. |
I purchased the Met Silver color matched dash and this, along with the chrome key hole cover really made it pop with class. Chrome in cockpit is usually avoided by me due to sunlight glare but these don't reflect back due to angle and location. |
Great buy. Don't recall having problems with instructions but I don't don't usually read ver-batum anyway. Have found it less hassle to remove rear tire by jacking bike up 3-4 inches above center stand height and sliding tire out side. Cross member is too tight to mess with. Pulled Hannigan Sierra trailer from KC to West coast and back (4900 miles) No problems. Love it. |
