Works like it should
|
I have bought k&n products for every vehical I have owned. They have yet to let me down. My 2009 gl1800 deserved no less. I have never owned a wing before, and just getting to the air filter was time consuming. I watched the video and it wasn’t near as bad as I thought. Some people say they had to cut this to fit, not so. The raised lettering on the rubber goes up! Perfect fit. Very happy with k&n, and wingstuff fast delivery. |

Good find after attempted rip off
|
After my local dealer tried to rip me off by trying to charge me $40,- for a OEM air filter i found this baby on here, ordered and installed it.Lots of stuff to take off to get to the right place but its an interesting experience to do some things yourself instead of paying someone an outrageous amount of money for it. I love this air filter....my wing feels like it got a bit more "get up'n go" power because it sucks in more air now. Also....this filter is washable and should last a long time. Well worth the money. |

K&N
| Been running K&N in my Valk since 99 with no issues. After the 12,000 Wing service pains, I dropped in a K&N filter in my Wing. At least now I don't need to pull all that Tupperware every 12,000 miles. |

good stuff.

I've run K&N on all my vehicles. ALL. So, my 1800 got one as well. Easy install (as easy as it can BE on a GW 1800). Fit nice. Only thing I do notice is you HEAR the intake now, where you didn't before. NOT that it's a bad thing, there's just more/noticeable noise on accel. Normal cruise, no noticeable noise. There are alot of K&N haters out there. (just go to the GW boards). Personally I think this is a great product, and will continue to utilize them. |

Awesome! but not for the mechanically timid
|
Replaced my original OEM filter yesterday with the K&N, rode today for about 200 miles. A noticable engine performance boost. I have the Torqloopz exhaust mod installed and this filter made the exhaust and engine in general growl a little more and very nicely indeed. Having said that....what the @#*^%@&@ was Honda thinking burying that air filter so deep. Jiminey Christmas, the intake engineers must have been on LSD the day they whipped out that design....that or marketing decided it would be a built-in paid dealer visit to get the job done by the majority of owners. Anyway, here's a very good Youtube by Steve Saunders that demonstrates how to pull off this job. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0mrauHy9uk Even with this, it took me 5 hrs to complete, being my first time in that deep. I imagine the next time I should be able to cut that in half. I will admit, I did learn a lot about my bike in the process...and, I installed some LED lighting while I had access "under the hood"...;-) |

A good investment
| With as time consuming as it is to replace the air filter on a GL1800, this filter is a must. Here in the desert filters take a beating. K&N leads the way in performance and value. |

k&n filiter
| So far so good. I have the loaded 2008. Very time consuming, but took my time. When I have to clean, should take 1/2 the time. I now know a lot more of my bike. |

This is my 3rd GL (1st 1800) and I currently own 2 other bikes. I consider myself an adequate mechanic and don’t shy away from most challenges. I own a factory shop manual as well and hence my deciding to install this filter. If you can do this in 4 hours as some have proclaimed, then hats off to you. My recommendation, have the dealer do it on the next full service. Here’s why: First off, plan on 6 hours at least and plan on doing the project the same day unless you have a superior memory. In addition, take some digital pictures of the wire routing around the ECM and ABS. This is going to be a problem later if you don’t. Yes, I lay parts and screws out in an array to reinstall later and even number screws where there is a large successive order to install. I have a fully loaded GL (sans airbag) and there are a number of additional components to remove/disconnect. Another thing, there is a myriad of tabs, grommets, pins, fasteners in addition to the unending number of electrical connections. If you are not familiar when to push, pull, pry or hit it with a larger hammer, you are going to be frustrated. There is nothing in the factory manual that descriptively tells you how to disconnect the myriad of parts. This is why it takes 3 hours alone to get to the air filter. On my GL, I could not get the ECM fully out as I could not determine how to disconnect what I believe was the cruise control cable. Issue number 2. Honda, rightfully so, built the top of the air box to maintain the mounting screws in the lid. Great design so you don’t lose one in the bowels of the beast. Horrible issue when installing the filter. Here’s my complaint on the K&N design. A stock filter is hard plastic and has a seal ridge top and bottom. It stays completely seated as it’s milled specific to the air box. The K&N is rubber and only has a bottom ridge seal. You have to manually push the bottom ridge in the air box to seat it correctly. The fun starts when you try and replace the top air box cover and those fixed screws catch the filter and then unseat it from the bottom air box. Being a rubber filter, it doesn’t stay fixed in the bottom air box guide and you get nervous that it’s not seated correctly prior to mounting the top. Yes, I thought of using tape to hold the screws up but worried that it would compromise the overall seal of the top. Typical Honda, and I say this out of experience, it’s easy to strip the air box screws even without over tightening. Mine stripped on the extracting not installation. A common experience on some Honda factory parts. So the reinstall is just as fun. If evolution hasn’t gifted you with a 3rd arm, call a friend. The Top Shelter is much simpler with a holder and another to push connectors together. Remember the part about knowing how all the ECM and ABS wire cables went. This is when you find out you didn’t route them the same way. The top shelter will never lay flat if the wiring is not routed correctly. Not sure I would tackle this again just to get this filter installed. I own K&N filters in all my vehicles but this one does not seem the best thought out given how you need to ensure it is seated correctly in a space you can’t see into well. And unless you were gifted with small hands, everything is a challenge to perform the various disconnecting/connecting on. Again, I am a fairly competent mechanic performing some pretty major projects. These full fairing bikes and complex systems and space management just don’t lend to easy installations this deep inside the beast. Good luck all. Hope this helps. |

| The filter fit fine, I didnt have to trim anything. The installation however is another story (though its not K&N's fault). Just take your time and be ready to remove a LOT of screws and disconnect a LOT of connecters. I picked a rainy day and spent 6 or 7 hours putting it in.Glad they only need cleaning every 25,000 miles. Having a fridge nearby and stocked with beer helps. |
