Easy to install
Got this today and 20 minutes later it was installed, tested, and working. Go to YouTube and search for Goldwing Accessory Socket Kit Installation and watch the video on how to install it. If you're not comfortable drilling through the fairing pocket, look up the price for a replacement fairing pocket. It's like $20.. I figured if I messed up too bad, I'm only out $20 and I get a second shot at it. ... still cheaper than what the service department would charge I'm sure. Why an accessory socket isn't standard installation on a GoldWing, I'll never understand. |

Incorrect Polarity
I have a 2008 GL-1800 and I like the item. It is a fairly easy install, however, the one that I received blew out two of my phone chargers before I realized what the hell was going on. It turns out as a result of some meter testing that the polarity was incorrect (not sure if it was the device or the motorcycle harness). It can only connect one way so there can be no installation error. Anyhow I was leaving for vacation the next day and so I just reversed the polarity on the power socket and was on my way. Working well ever since but I would not suggest plugging in anything expensive until you are sure it is working correctly. |

ATTN: DEALERS--make this a standard installation
Honda is too cheap to include this as a standard--inexplicably. Dealers should add one to every Goldwing sold, as a service. Good grief. The product is foolproof, and very handy. There is simply no excuse for Honda to wire for this, but not to include it as standard equipment. There is even less justification for a dealer not to install. HELLO, FOLKS----we are dropping more than $25,000 on your business. You can afford a $30 accessory. |

12v DC GL 1800 Fairing Power Socket
Sure it's a good product and a good addition to any GL 1800..However, the socket is fused at only 3 amps and the bike circuit that it plugs into is fused at 5 amps.First time I plugged an air-compressor in to fill a buddy's flat tire..the fuse blew ! It's ok for I-Pods and Cell phones but pretty much worthless for anything else like a compressor. I'm going to add a heavier duty socket somewhere else that will handle the compressor load. That's why I'm only giving it a 3 star rating. Paul |

Can't beleive it's not stock
Really! This should be a stock item on Gold Wing. If you're spending a good amount of time on your ride this is a must have item. Anyone can install this in less then 30 minutes. The most difficult part is drilling the hole, use a 1 1/8" driil if no 30 mm is on hand and just use the same file you use to create the notch to open the hole slightly. |

Power Plug
Why is one of these $25.00 bucks more than the other? Just installed this on my 08 model and man did I miss out for the last 4 years. Easy install and worth the money. Don't know how I survived without it. Oh yea, I let the phone go dead......................... |

Easy to Install
I drilled a 1 inch hole which allowed me to thread the socket in with no slack at all. No more dead GPS. |

Honda Faring Power Socket
Purchased this and installed it, works great and does what it's supposed to. Only thing I had a problem with was finding a 30mm hole saw, but finally did. I'm a perfectionist and it calls for a 30mm hole, and thats what I drilled. Fits snug as a glove without any movement from an oversized hole. Great addition to bike. Thanks Wingstuff! |

A must have! Requires drilling a 30mm hole in the pocket and I drilled a 1 1/4" hole as advised from another installer. It was okay, but a little big. 1 1/8" hole would have fit the socket perfect. |

Like other reviewers, wish this was standard from factory but was a great addition to the bike. There's an awesome video to help with easy install I linked below. If link does not work search "Goldwing Accessory Socket Kit Installation" and will come up. https://youtu.be/COuTOlXT0tU |
