Tricks and Kicks
| First the Kicks. The long bolts provided with the risers are, as said before in other reviews too long. All should be the shorter length that are provided with the risers. Simply put a nut on the long bolt and cut it off with an angle grinder or hack saw etc. then work your nut off carefully turning the nut back and forth to smooth out the threads that get a little bugggerd up from cutting the bolt. The Tricks. 1) Buy both the rack and the risers at the same time. Then you can use the smaller diameter "cup washer" that is comes with the rack as the inside "flat" washer. Then you can use the larger diameter and taller cup washer that comes with the riser for the foot of the rack as intended. 32) Yes, use painters tape to keep from scatching trunk lid but also put a strip of tape perfectly down the center of the backrest clear to the "Honda" emblem. Then draw a line on the ridge of the trunk up to the ctr of the back rest with a sharpie. Now you can easily center the rack. 3) Use the tall risers for your template and drill guide. Just let the tip mark your hole then switch to a smaller dia bit, then use the 1/4. The rest is easy. 1 hour max including cutting the 2 long bolts. |

Luggage Rack Risers
| These are exactly what you might expect. Appear to be good quality. Won’t know for sure till after they have been installed for a while. |

Good stuff
| If you are going to put a light spoiler on the trunk definately gat these for the extra clearance.Ideally these would be installed right off the bat, but if added later, new hole positions are needed. The larger base covers the old holes thank goodness.The screws provided were not compatable with the luggage rack. I had to run to Home Depot to get the right ones. |

Luggage Rack Risers for a 2016 GL1800
| The only problem with the risers is the Rack takes a 10-24 fastener and the risers come with 1/4-20 fasteners. You have to buy two 10/24x 1.5 for the back legs and the long fasteners with the Rack will work for the front legs. |

Never again.

Installing these would have been very straight forward had they provided the correct size bolts! I had to cut and file all four bolts as they were about ¼" too long. This added to the install time and the frustration especially considering the cost. I think next time I will go back to the Show Chrome rack, cheaper, better quality and less trouble to install. |

What I needed
| These worked well with my efforts to change my trunk luggage rack to a different brand. Good price. |

2003 GL 1800
| They DO NOT fit without a lot of grinding, drilling and trunk modifications. Especially if you have a spoiler on your trunk. I had to grind them down to mold and conform to my trunk. And I still do not know if the holes are sealed. They are flat on the base and the trunk on the GW's is curved. |

Necessary addition with trunk rack, but.....
| As others have noted, you cannot install these in holes drilled for the Khury trunk rack. Adding the feet changes the angle of the rack legs. I bought these with the rack and still screwed up the install. Thankfully, the large feet cover my mistakes. Good product--take your time with the install, and don't try to use as an add-on to an existing rack. |

wow
| These were tough to install. I already had the Kury rack and spoiler, so the holes were already there. My previous installer stripped the allen head bolts and now I see why, so it started out difficult. What I found was that I had to not just enlarge the holes but enlarge them at the angle of the rack legs, then it got a lot easier. Also be sure to cover your trunk against scratches and put something over your open bike for dropped bolts and risers. Two more hands would have helped. Finally, when time to tighten up I used star head drill bits in my allen head bolts. They worked beautifully. No stripping. |
