| Took about an hour-and-a-half to install. The directions that came wit the rack were pretty good. I followed them closely and had no problems. One change I would suggest, though, is...the directions say to keep the rack forward on the trunk as much as possible, but by doing so, it makes it very, very difficult to wash / wax underneath the rack under the section in the middle that raises up. If I could do it over again, I would keep it back a little further, giving me a little more clearance there. |

Just bought my third one and yes it's for my third wing ! Great to fly our country's flags. Never had a problem with the chrome, while protecting and polishing with never dull. |

OK, will they rust? Yes if not properly taken care off. So when you wax your bike, wax the rack. I liked the design better than the Kuryakyn. It was simply a matter of choice. This was installed on my 2005 GL1800. My bike is metallic blue so it breaks up the color nicely. I guess I would say - it accents it. Formerly I owned a 1996 SE with this type of rack. The small rubbers and washers caused a hair line crack to emerge on the underneath side of the trunk. My son and I fiber glassed over it, then I bought the large flat chromed washers and placed them under the rack's legs. I did the same on my current 2005 when I installed the rack. The larger washers spreads the concentrated weight out over the trunk more. Less chance of a crack appearing. Just don't exceed the total weight if strapping stuff on. |

Just bought my 2014 Gl18 in June and needed the rack for my flags & Tazz. Thanks for the fast service Wingstuff. Fit & finish are great . Installed in 15 minutes. |

| I purchased this brand in 2010 from the shop I bought my Wing from. All is well with construction of Trunk Rack, However it has rusted badly, mostly at the welds. I am going to have it sand blasted and will paint and clear coat. |

| I bought this for my 2012 with the 3rd brake light spoiler. This rack fits perfectly without touching or rubbing the spoiler or the back of the back rest cushion. Take your time drilling the mounting holes. Having another pair of hands wouldn't hurt to hold the rack in place while you mark the mounting holes on the trunk. Make sure you have proper clearance on all sides. Use frog tape on your painted surface while fitting the rack to avoid scratches on your paint. I applied a good coat of wax on the rack BEFORE i mounted it taken care to get all of the hard to reach places coated well. I've put a couple of thousand miles with the rack with no signs of rust or pitting. For those of you complaining of rust on your chrome, I have a product for you; ACF-50. Look it up, order it and say goodbye to rust and corrosion. |

Have had this on less than a year on my 2015. Looking at it closer and rust all over. My bike stays in the garage at home and covered parking at work. The rust is worse on the rack surface facing the front where it would catch the wind. Very poor surface. Guess I will pull off and powdercoat it. Would not buy it again. Michael |

| I've had this rack for about 4 months, purchased just before going on a 6500 mile trip, and it is rusting at every weld joint, my advice, don't buy it. |

| When I got this rack I was leery about the chroming, seemed to have orange peel like a bad paint job. I should have sent it back, it's rusting all over. so I either have to buy another or pay to have this one re-chromed. Bike is kept out of the weather, this rack is only a couple of years old and has never had straps or any hooks on it that might have damaged the chrome. I got it to mount the rubberized flag mast on the tongues with the holes, amazingly no rust there Don't buy it. |

| I have had this on my bike for a year now. I was concerned because some people had mentioned the chrome wasn't good and had rust/flaking. I can tell you that it still looks great. Before I installed it I put a coat of wax on it and I have had no problems with the finish. The appearance is good and I think it looks nice on my bike. The welds all look good as well. I would recommend this to a friend. |
