| The product itself gets 5-stars. It is exceptionally easy to install, with one exception... that being Kuryakyn says, "Remove the grommets in the saddlebags." As if that is easy to do without further instructions? It isn't. For those who buy this, in order to remove the grommets in the saddlebags, you have to push them through the top to the bottom. Knowing this bit of information, it isn't a hard installation at all. Otherwise, you might spend a lot of time like me trying to figure out how the heck to get those grommets out. The bottom of the saddlebag grommet has a steel washer, so you can't pull them out from the top. In my case, I had my wife push them through while I put pressure on the saddlebag (pushing outward so the grommet would clear the mounting bracket). Anyone can do this installation relatively quickly, and it looks and works exceptionally well. I just wished Kuryakyn would have included a one-sentence instruction for removing the saddlebag grommets. Beyond that lack of instruction, great product! |

| I've been riding Gold Wing's since my college days when I bought a brand new 1976 GL1000. Over the years I've had many Kuryakyn products and have been pleased with all of them. I've waited to buy a trailer hitch for my new bike until Kuryakyn developed one. I've not pulled a trailer yet but the product appears to be of the quality you would expect from Kuryakyn. The instructions were easy to follow but I had 2 issues with the installation. First, how hard would it be for Kuryakyn to stamp the parts (for example, left side front, this side up). That would be nice. The hardest part of the whole install was removing the saddlebag grommets. The instructions are written as if it is as easy as removing a screw. It is not. They are very hard to remove and a little guidance would have been helpful. Other than that, I'm very pleased with the product and look forward to using it. |
