I bought a set of these a couple of years ago and installed them. I gave a three star rating as the tabs do snap off rather easy in comparison to the stockers. Honda uses ABS plastic but these are more like polystyrene which is more brittle by nature. Anyway, I ended up using a couple of layers of 3M double sided tape to build up the cavity and then put velcro on top of that to hold in position where the tabs had broken off. Works fine and keeps them where they should be. |

I JUST PUT THESE ON. THESE ARE CHEAPLY MADE, DIFFIDULT TO UN-PACKAGE, EASILY BROKEN (TABS) AND MINE CAME WITH NO INSTRUCTIONS BUT THEY LOOK GREAT. SOMEONE SAID TO START AT THE BOTTOM AND WORK YOUR WAY UP (REMOVAL). TO THE CONTRARY MY MAINTENANCE MANUAL SAYS TO START AT THE TOP AND WORK YOUR WAY DOWN; AGAIN I'M TALKING REMOVAL. I BELIEVE STARTING AT THE BOTTOM FOR REMOVAL AND THE TOP FOR INSTALLATION REALLY MAKES MORE SENSE. WOULD I BUY THEM AGAIN? PERHAPS, BECAUSE THEY DO LOOK GOOD BUT THEY CERTAINLY COULD BE A BETTER PRODUCT. |

I think they fixed the package issue or I just have learned to take my time. I bought a lot of Show Chrome stuff. I first cut the item away from the card board like I'm filleting a fish, and then slowly peel away the plastic. Never a problem... I love the look! The instructions for mounting are very clear. Even the Honda shop manual suggests the same procedure. Starting at the bottom for removal and pinching it to the outside and working your way to the top. Install is the opposite procedure. Mine have been removed and reinstalled 3 times. Once by me, once by Hollister Honda for my K and N, and once by Don the WingNut for springs and bearings. NO problems for any of us. |

I'm biker Manny. I'm writing this review not on behalf of the product (GL1800 Chrome Fairing Molding)I recently purchased from WINGSTUFF.com but the customer service I received from them. I received a call from their customer service department immediately as soon as I posted my review of this product. They were responsive, curtious and willing to resolve my complaint immediately. Rick from WINGSTUFF had call the manufacturer,which in this case was SHOWCHROME, to discuss the issue of my complaint. Rick put me in contact with Wally from SHOWCHROME. After discussing the issue with Wally from SHOWCHROME, they were willing to provide me with another set at no charge immediately. This is customer service from both the distributor and the manufacturer. I look for these qualities when I purchase over the internet. However, based on my design knowledge and years of experience, I declined the offer. I believe this product does have design issues with the tabs that can be improved. The current design can induce failure (tabs snapping off) resulting in a nonfunctional item. I provided constructive feedback to SHOWCHROME with the hoped they can address the issue. I certainly will purchased this product if they fix the issue in the near future for mu GOLDWING 1800. I will certainly continue buying products for my Goldwing from WINGSTUFF.com. They are a respectable company that stands behind the products and with an excellent customer service department. Thank You Rick; BIKER MANNY |

Reading the reviews for this product and the rating it had, I decided to buy it with looking forward to adding this accessory to my Wing 2005. I'm an engineer by trade and I know about designs and manufacturing. I can tell you this, as I tried to install it, one of the center tabs just broke off. I was so pissed off!!!! After carefully analysing it, I noticed that the design of the tabs does not provide a stress relief to allow some flexing of the tabs as you insert them into the slots. Not having this feature,like a passive hinge,makes this part very prone to failure. You will run the risk of breaking off the small plastic tabs very easily. They seemed very brittle to me as well. Furthermore, this Part is NOT user friendly when removing from its packaging. I just spend $54.00 in junk. Therefore, for all you bikers interesed in this part, I encourage you NOT to invest in purchasing this item. I wish I could get my money back!!!!! |

I was so looking forward to adding this accessory to my Wing, but ran into trouble with the packaging. The shrink-wrap is difficult to remove, and if not REALLY careful, you run the risk of breaking off the small plastic tabs. They seemed brittle to me, but perhaps it was just my haste to get them out of the package that resulted in the damage that I encountered. Result, un-useable! |

I bought these because I broke one of my stock ones and the honda dealer wanted $60. for one. I got 2 of these for the same price. Very nice, look sharp. Snap in place broke one tab on bottom thats why 4 stars. If you have Baker Built Air Wings BE CAREFUL DRILLING HOLES. |

Great addition to the cockpit drivers area. Install carefully, I broke 1 tab while fitting. Should not have happened as i felt I was super careful. That rates only 3 stars IMO. |

These look nice but be careful as the tabs will break. I have had mine off numerous times and have broken a couple of them, but 3M tape keeps them in place. |

Pretty easy to install and look great. Be sure to line them up properly before pulling the tape to stick them on. If you screw up your SOL. |

Très joli mais attention, les petites pattes d'attaches sont très fragiles.Deux se sont cassées au déballage. A placer avec beaucoup de douceur. |
