First the Kicks. The long bolts provided with the risers are, as said before in other reviews too long. All should be the shorter length that are provided with the risers. Simply put a nut on the long bolt and cut it off with an angle grinder or hack saw etc. then work your nut off carefully turning the nut back and forth to smooth out the threads that get a little bugggerd up from cutting the bolt. The Tricks. 1) Buy both the rack and the risers at the same time. Then you can use the smaller diameter "cup washer" that is comes with the rack as the inside "flat" washer. Then you can use the larger diameter and taller cup washer that comes with the riser for the foot of the rack as intended. 32) Yes, use painters tape to keep from scatching trunk lid but also put a strip of tape perfectly down the center of the backrest clear to the "Honda" emblem. Then draw a line on the ridge of the trunk up to the ctr of the back rest with a sharpie. Now you can easily center the rack. 3) Use the tall risers for your template and drill guide. Just let the tip mark your hole then switch to a smaller dia bit, then use the 1/4. The rest is easy. 1 hour max including cutting the 2 long bolts. |
The accents look great -- they break up the "lumpy" look of the fairing between the upper and lower portions of the fairing. The only criticism is the dependability of the tape used for bonding. One side seems to be working fine, but the other side not so much. I find this true of other chrome accents and have had to find other bonding tape. I have found the Loctite brand to work well -- especially if heat is an issue. |
Had the Elite 3 and was impressed now I got Elite 4 on expectations are high! |
Haven’t ridden a lot of miles yet but am impressed so far! |
Quick shipping Great price And the LED’s do what they claim. Although the brights are pretty useless. Just having them on is way more like than the stock bulbs ever could offer. |
I like that the compartments are sizable and varied to accommodate different sizes and shapes of things. LOVE that they're made in the USA! Take your time, and practice positioning and fitting them into the saddlebag lid, and you should be fine when installing them. |
These liners are very basic - no pockets, cubbies, compartments, etc. But to fit as much as possible in them, that's probably a good thing. That's what I wanted, and that's what I got. Makes it much nicer to carry your items to and from the bike when on a trip. Seem to be pretty well made - again, don't want them too thick, otherwise you'd lose packing space. Definitely recommend! |
I’ve got a 2021 GW Tour Airbag with Centramatic wheel balancers. This is my third GW and I’ve used many different brands. I always run the recommended air pressure (41psi), ride one-up and usually 45-55mph back roads with occasional interstate. At 8100 miles the tire is cupping so bad, at 40-50mph it sounds like a 4wd truck. The cupping is so bad that the sides of the cup is frayed with fuzzy rubber. I bought this tire just to try something different, I won’t buy another one and I definitely don’t recommend it for a 2018+ GW. Note: This is the rear tire only, I don’t have one on the front. At the time I bought this tire there were no reviews on Wingstuff, but other sites did and it has great reviews. Every review I read was from a Harley rider and they wouldn’t be able to hear the tire or feel the vibration over their bike, LOL. |
I removed the after market heated grips from a 2005 GL1800. The voltmeter was easy to install and looks/works great |
it's good quality but not for riding because the material so light |

Great piece of kit, blends in nicely with trunk lid. Printed instructions are good but advise watch youtube video as well, then fitting is straight forward . The only scary moment is when you get to drill the holes - yes check twice then drill - phew! |
