| Well I had to buy two sets of these until I figured out how to get them on. I ran into an issue with the D clips being squeezed together to much being pushed down into the chrome knobs. Once that happened they were impossible to get out. I have to use my dremel tool to cut them out of the knobs hence buying a second set to try again. The next set I took a round file and filed inside the knob where the D clip fits down in. With a little filing I was able to fit the clips without being squeezed and they fit perfectly. A bit frustrated with this chrome addition but I was not giving up getting them on because it dressed it up nicely as others have stated.. |

| As these knobs to your radio and they change the looks of your bike immediately. Add two more for your gas lid lock and glove box lock. They are so convenient. Look up how to do it on U-Tube. |

| I used this radio button together with a spare fuel door key to somewhat disguise the key being left in the lock so I can open the lid with out turning off the bike and using the ignition key. The keys are different slightly so there is no risk of someone noticing the fuel door key glued into the radio button and trying to use it in the ignition lock - it won’t work. Found this tip/procedure on a gold wing forum. |

| Perfect for gluing onto a cut-off key for leaving in the gas door. Used the other for the right fairing door. Looks clean and OEM. |

Just pull off the black original knobs and push new ones one, watching the orientation. Nice look with the chrome radio accent panel. Works great also as hidden key for gas tank or side pocket lock. Get spare key made from #27 Honda Accord key blank at Walmart, cut the top off and insert into chrome knob. Measure and cut to desired height. Glue with Gorilla instant glue. Convenient not having to take ignition key to unlock gas each time. but can not be used to stat the bike. |

When you pull off the old knob, the D clip is retained on the radio shaft and it is very hard to see. I finally found them and removed them by using a piece of Kleenex to pinch into the hole around the knob shaft. You will pull straight up and have the small D clip. Be careful!! If you drop it, your screwed! To put into the hole on the new chrome knob, I went inside, used a very small pair of pliers and gripped the D clip, oriented properly to the hole, and pushed down. Had the knob on a hard surface on top of a note pad, so as to not scratch the chrome. Then used the curve of the plier head to push the clip the rest of the way in...they fit very tightly. Once flush in the knob, then take the chrome knob to the bike, orient properly and push on..when you feel it is partially on, take the notebook again, place on top of the knob and gently tap a few times with a small ball peen hammer...any small hammer will do...just enough to finish the seating. It took me several trys to locate those darned clips as they are black! And I dropped one but thankfully found it on the carpet I had placed under the bike! Once I knew the procedure the second knob went on in under 2 minutes but that first one took more than 30 minutes...Anywho they are on and they look great. I gave a five star rating because they work and look nice, but if the seller had not helped me with some correspondence, I might have sent them back due to frustration of not finding the clips at first! Hope my explanation helps another biker out there! |
