| Great protection and easy to install......feel a lot more comfortable riding and knowing engine case and oil filter are protected. Great product from WIngStuff and reasonably priced. |
| Wingstuff.com's customer service? 5-stars all day long. They're always VERY fast to respond to emails and they're pleasant on the phone. Great people. Stuff is always delivered super-quick. Absolutely love this company. This is the first place I come for Goldwing stuff; that's not changing for the foreseeable future. I've used other websites in the past, but WingStuff is one I'd trust the most. This actual product is probably 5-stars in quality, if it's manufactured correctly and such. Color match was spot-on. Finish/base manufacturing seemed really nice. So why 1-star? Because this situation put me in a rather unpleasant position I never want to be in the middle of again. Your mileage may vary. WingStuff is great. Corbin... is "OK". Being on the middle-outside is awful if anything goes wrong; something went wrong. As clearly stated in the description, this is a custom-order product that's specially manufactured when ordered -- no big deal. I received the product within the expected timeframe (1-month after order). However, the product I received was defective. The holes to attach the lid were misaligned, so it could be attached in an upright position, but it would absolutely not close. You could see on the shell exactly where the holes should have been drilled (there were divots for indicating the hole center) -- the holes were all offset, some worse than others. One hole wasn't even drilled? Apparently some questionable QC practices? The installation is arguably very simple. Corbin's instructions are... kind of awful. Most of the instructions revolve around installing their aux lighting and trunk rack? I'd have rather had dedicated instructions for the lid + some supplementals for "if you have these other components". Either way, upon realizing the issue with the holes, I emailed a bunch of photos to WingStuff -- they replied very quickly, and said they'd forward my email to Corbin, and recommended also reaching out to Corbin since logically Corbin should handle their warranty stuff? Made sense to me. I sent a message through Corbin's website on a Monday. Friday rolled around, no ability to know they got my message, so I sent another one. Finally got an answer from the 2nd message after a couple hours. Basically a "Start a warranty claim directly with the company you purchased the item from. You can also call our installers." OK. I called Corbin installers - maybe I was doing something stupid? Installation SEEMS stupid-simple. I'm very handy, but I'm also human. Talked to their tech. Explained my situation. Nice guy. When I mentioned I bought it through Wingstuff, it became sort of an "Oh... You're probably going to need to go through the vendor then..." But, I was asked to email what I'd already sent to WingStuff to it could be given to someone else in Corbin. Did that. ...No response for a week. Sent a follow-up asking if they received my email -- turns out there email system had deleted the first email. Great. Manager was out though, so had to wait 2 weeks for them to show up. Eh', I can appreciate people taking vacation. Eventually he got back. I ended up getting a return label provided to me on 8/21 to send it back to Corbin. It arrived back with them on 8/29. And then there was radio silence. I figured the product requires 4-6 weeks to make, so I'd be waiting again. I'm a patient person. After 6 and a half weeks, I reached out to Wingstuff (10/16) to find out if I could be expecting a replacement soon? They were wonderful enough to reply within 24 hours, letting me know they'd reach out to Corbin and that I could also reach out to Corbin since the warranty goes through them. Given Corbin's prior apparent stance on vendor vs direct customer, I decided to wait a week to see if Wingstuff got an answer. I guess they didn't. I called Corbin to try to ask about the situation since I had the RMA number. Perhaps unsurprisingly, their official response was basically that they can't really help me because I was going through a 3rd party on the order. (The person on the phone was really nice. Even if she couldn't help me per company policy?) I followed up with Wingstuff again on 10/31 to ask them to check with Corbin again - now 9 weeks after Corbin had received the returned item. Again, they were super responsive - polar opposite of Corbin. End result? Apparently Corbin's organization (much like their email responding) leaves something to be desired. Sounds like confusion occured. Apparently it was concluded they could get the trunk started/finished in 1 week and then shipped immediately after if I wanted. Kind offer, but given the situation up to this point, I asked to have this saga just ended instead. I didn't want to deal with an extended saga if the replacement was also bad. I find myself inclined to avoid Corbin at this point. Wingstuff made me whole - which I appreciate. So... Long story short, if you'd going to deal with Corbin, do so at your own risk? And you should probably do it directly, since they won't really help you with their products otherwise? Although, if you go through WingStuff, I guess I have faith in them making sure you'll end up 'right' in the end - so maybe you should stick with Wingstuff even on this? Either way - it's a potential headache of a situation for a rather expensive product that gains a little bit of extra space. Not worth the headache to me, in the end. Additional note: I have a 2018 DCT Airbag model. Apparently when they say "Passenger Armrests will not fit", they also mean the stock ones from that model? So... Not a "great" fit for a DCT Airbag version of the goldwing in that respect -- leaves gnarly holes in the passenger backrest basically - you'll need to find a nice way to cover them (I 3-d printed some covers.) |
| I bought the Rivco floorboards for my '08 model because my neuropathy in my left foot would complain immediately with my toes pointed down on the stock pegs. I am very happy with them. Less room to move around than my former cruiser but I do have Mick-O-Pegs from the original owner for a stretch out option. We'll made. It shifts better I would say but you do have to really move your heel back to upshift. All in all, it is far better than the pegs for my needs. |
| Bought this harness so I could have my driving lights and high beam lights on at the same time. Installation took about 20 minutes. Works perfect!! Differently worth the money and completely plug and play. |
| So I thought I'd wait till I put some miles on these new Road W GT tires before I reviewed them. I mounted them the end of June on my '14 GL and have put about 7500 miles on them. 4000 of that was pulling a 500lb Roll-A-Home from Idaho to Arkansas. (with about 80lbs on the tongue) The rear new had 10/32nds of tread and the front had 7/32nds. They seem to handle the curves real well. But if you've got on a grooved freeway, they didn't like that very well at all. The bike would move around somewhat, a lot like the turbulence you experience behind a semi. So ya, even worse if its grooved and your behind said semi. After 7500 miles I still have 4-5/32nds tread (depending on where you measure) on the rear and about 5/32nds on the front. But like I said most of that is pulling a trailer. So at that rate I should get 18,000 out of the front and maybe 12,000 out of the rear if I don't pull the caboose on any more long trips. That is wearing them down to 2/32nds. Before this I rode to Pennsylvania back in June on a set of new BRIDGESTONE'S, 9,000 miles total, and got home with cords showing on the rear (whew...) and about 2/32nds remaining on the front. So I'm gonna say I'm going to get about 25% better tread life on the rear and maybe 40-50% better on the front. As I recall Michelin claimed 25% better life out of this tire. Ya, they are a little more money for a set and you don't get the rebate card, like from Bridgestone. But so far I'm happy. Oh ya, and they did feel pretty sure footed in the rain. So you choose... |
| Put these balancers on along with new Bridgestones and the bike is smoother that new. 8K miles later, same smoothness and NO tire cupping. I also feel that I'm getting better tire mileage than previous tires. Easy install, but wish I'd known that my front brake rotor bolts were red loctited. After stripping the head of a couple of bolts, I heated the rest with a heat gun and they came right out. Had a week riding delay while I waited for new bolts. |
| I pull a Bushtec trailer frequently and these mirrors are very helpful as well as giving a slightly panoramic view to the rear/sides. Also I feel that vehicles along side can better see my intentions when changing lanes. For those who have concerns about the vertical line in the mirror, you cannot see it when riding. |
| I camp alot from the Goldwing. Many times I've walded to the bike and fumbled around in the dark. I love it that theu illuminate the ground around the bike automatically when I walk up to the bike. Also help finding things in the sidecases in the dark. Lovem, and an easy install. |
| I decided to purchase this flag even though it was more expensive for it appeared to be of better quality. It was. It shipped very quickly and the flag has double-stitching which is excellent. I took the post apart and applied thread-loc to secure the threads/post from vibrating loose which is what happened to a different flag that I had previously purchased......and of course lost on my first trip due to the post loosening and losing the flag. This one is way better and worth the extra dollars. |
| The lower air deflectors I put on my 23 GW are AMAZING. They take the engine heat from the radiator exhaust area in the hot weather and direct it away from the bike. In the cold weather, you turn them so the engine heat is now being blown inward onto your legs. It actually feels like you turned on the heater in your car... If you have a Wing, BUY these air deflectors. |
| Well, I already own one but the wife wanted one as well. They don't make this for women so she order one after trying on mine. She loves it. She and do I wish there was a front pocket however. |
| These pads in my opinion are just as good as the OEM’s how the fraction of the cost. |
