To me thats a lot of effort for very little if any gain, looks no real different to me, plus cables on show looks amateur. Any bar change on a Harley you can see a difference and look more refined

I have that bag that i connected to a sissy bar on my Honda Rebel 1100T. It was perfect for a 10 day trip. Being a Nelson-Rigg fan boy, I'll be getting the smaller one for weekend trips on my '22 non-tour Goldwing. Nelson-Rigg makes the best gear!

Main design flaw of this unit is the on/off levers are hard to get to and activate once the bike is on the stand. Since the wheels move 360 degrees, the levers are not always easily accessible. And u have to use your foot, not hands, to push on/off levers. (My levers do not move so easy with fingers like on this video). I wish there was an update or better design for the levers.

@WingStuffcom 20 күн бұрын
No problem at all! 10W30 Full Synthetic is fine to use in general, however we recommend you double check with Honda's requirements before using. Some oils may include additives which should be avoided, but we don't know enough about that particular brand of oil to say one way or the other. We highly recommend using Honda brand 10W30 Full Synthetic oil (and so do many of our customers!). You can browse their reviews and purchase here: wingstuff.com/products/22888-hp4s-10w30-full-synthetic-oil

Hi Cruisemen, I sit with the same problem. Myself an electrical engineer, came of with a simple solution. The sidestand has a simple on/switch connected to ground to have logic 1, it is ok. I now there is a microswitch at the handle which gives the handle bar the display which disable all gear types if selection. I have'nt opened up the cover where the switch sit but interlocking wiring will be done when get there, this is a basic mod and not rocket science. I will surely update you with the outcome.

Hey thanks for your question. It's hard to know for sure until you have the backrest installed, but I would imagine if you are a taller rider you shouldn't have an issue when the seat is down. We haven't heard any feedback to this effect from any of our customers. The jacket in this video has unfortunately been discontinued. It's Rick's favorite jacket and was a popular seller for us when it was available.

Hey Fred, I have a 2020 1800 DCT Tour... I had new tires put on and my guy balances tires by the bead method... I then found out about the Centramatic System, soooo I ordered up a set... I went back to my guy and he installed the Centramatic System... I noticed that I picked up a low speed wobble around 41 to 49 mph... Should he have removed the beads ??? Thanks for the work you do for us riders !!!
@WingStuffcom
@WingStuffcom 2 ай бұрын
Hey Peter, yes with the Centramatics installed there is no longer any need for the beads. They aren't necessarily the reason for the wobble you're describing, but the optimal setup is to only have the Centramatics on your tires and nothing else as they do all the work that's needed. I hope this helps!

Hello, Centramatic used to make their product for the GL1500 in the past but no longer do, unfortunately. As far as tires, have you used the Dunlop Elite 4 tires for the GL1500? We've had some great feedback from customers about them. Alternatively, we also carry the Metzeler 888 Marathon Tires.

Just bought some stuff for my 2024 GW a few weeks ago from this guys. The website is very complete, yet still easy to navigate. You can simply input the model and year of your bike and whenever you are trying to buy anything from the store, it will say if the item fits for your bike or not! That’s really important, specially when you are shipping outside the US, which is my case because if you order something wrong, it’s a pain in the a** to return it. Overall, I was really satisfied with the entire experience at Wingstuff. Good job! J Horst

Thanks for posting. I ordered one for my VFR1200F and it works fantastic. The very little trouble that I have using the dolly is dismounting the bike (almost no trouble). The brakes on the casters are ok but I find that it helps to wedge an HF tire iron under the dolly to keep it from moving when dismounting the bike off the center stand.

@Bags2723 I had installed a Puig windshield as well and came back recently from a trip to (almost) the east coast & back to the midwest. I like the extra width and all, but I wish it wasn't quite so tall, the lowest position can't be use as it distorts the view at my sitting height as you're looking thru the very top of it back and forth over and thru the shield. I may just look into a stock height but wider width shield if it gets too annoying, haha!
