This is CRAP

This is a cheap piece of crap. One of the tangs broke off when I turned it to lock in place. This is the second one of these I have purchased never again. I would not buy this piece of junk. I would to the oem part and not this cheap piece of plastic.

Broken Fibula

I was given information about this deer whistle after relating an accident I had on the Pacific Coast Highway. I'm not sure which is proper, do you hit a deer or does a deer hit you? Anyway, I had the auto store plastic deer whistles (2) on my Victory Vision while doing a 6,000 mile road trip. About 3,500 miles into the trip, just after going through Big Sur, a deer hit me. I wound up with a damaged bike and a broken Fibula. So the store bought plastic deer whistles DON'T WORK. This deer whistle from what I understand does get their attention!!! I'll buy one, just because I have had the unpleasant experience of a deer hitting me and living through it. If you like to travel back roads which are frequented by wild animals I would definitely recommend anything which can deter them. The life you save may be your own.

Wingstuff customer service 5 stars

My windshield (-2) just arrived and I will comment on that in a later update when temps get above freezing. I wanted to comment on the customer service of Wingstuff. I had ordered my windshield about 2 weeks ago and with my typical luck as soon as it arrived I was browsing through the website and seen they were selling it for 10% off. I figured what the heck and contacted them. Since I had literally just ordered the same thing a week or two prior and was hoping I could still qualify for the discount. That same day Rodney had emailed me back saying that they would gladly refund the difference and credit the money back to my account, which they had done the same day. Yes I know this is only $30 difference but it is more the point that they were willing to honor the sale, even though they could have just as easily said NO and been done with it. I just think this speaks volumes of wingstuff and the staff taking care of us the customers and wanted to give credit where credit is due.
Again thank you Wingstuff for the superb customer service that you have shown me over the last few years. It is the small things like this that keep people

Player Worth It; Software not so much

I purchased the player and the software combo and will review them seperately.

The Player:
Arrived in a timely fashion, as has been the case for all of the products I order from Wingstuff. Very, and I mean very, easy to install. I chose to install it, using the provided velcro, on the left side of the trunk; however I installed it so that it angles up at 45 degrees so you can easily see and access where the SD or USD installs. Remove the seat, plug it into the ONLY plug it will fit on, route the cable as seen in the video, and connect.

The Software:
Save your money; honestly. You download it from this website and then unlock it using your email address and a code emailed to you (if you are lucky; mine never came and I had to email Wingstuff to get it). The software asks you what player you have (MP3 V3 in my case) then it asks you what year range your bike is in (2006 to 2011 > Mine is a 2007). This is so it can determine how many CD folders you will get on your SD or USB Flash Drive. My bike gets me 9 folders according to the software x 99 tracks per folder. So after spending an hour of loading up an 8 Gb card I installed it and the MP3 works like a charm.

Here is my issue with the software and why I think you should skip buying it. On your SD or USB it simply creates CD folders (i.e. CD1, CD2, CD3, etc) and then 99 tracks in each folder....that's it folks, that is all it does. Format, or blank out your SD or USB, create the number of folders for your bike's age (again mine was 9 folders)and then simply move music into each of them being careful to make sure that each folder is 99 tracks or less). If you are not comfortable with doing this on a PC then send me an email on here and I'll be glad to walk you through it. I do agree with another reviewer, if this software converted formats, or offered the abilty to rip to CD, then the price might be worth it.

Summary:
The MP3 player was probably the best aftermarket component I have installed to date. Having access to 800+ songs on those long rides where the radio just does not do the job is worth the $109 (non ABS). The software: save your month and apply that to some more chrome!!

I Can See Clearly Now...!

Had the bike at the dealer for some general maintenance and they installed the F4 Custom (4") shield for me in around 45 minutes. This was two rainstorms, a windstorm, and 5,000 miles ago (three weeks in real time - literally).

What an amazing difference this shield makes for the passenger as well as the rider. I can actually see through the shield without hindrance and have significantly improved vision for night riding (which I do A LOT of).

The rain rolls off as advertised, and the F4 custom cleaner is worth every penny.

Be aware, this will affect handling in high winds slightly and the bike has a different feel to it than with the OEM shield in place - even at its highest point. Additionally, this shield, while wider than the OEM, has a little more curvature to it and rain drops now catch the wind between the edge and the mirrors and blow back at your legs rather than catching the slipstream and blowing past your legs as with the OEM. Not an issue if you are wearing rain gear... just a little more water on the tank and saddle than before.

5 stars all the way. I am thrilled to be running this F4 shield and highly recommend it (particularly the vented one).

Needed Equipment

I brought a set of these for my 2012 Wing to have on hand. I had my left side fairing box out and thought how small these thing were and easy to loose. So I said to myself "Rob you should order some of these to have just in case" So as not to get in to an argument with myself I did..

Nice Addition

Added this to my 2012 Wing! Looks great on the front fender. Adds a very nice look without being to much.. Make sure before you set it down on the fender it's were you want it, because it's not going anywhere after it sticks.. Great add on! Try it I'm sure you will like it!!!

Needed Equipment

I just installed this on my 2012 Goldwing,I installed it in the left side faring pocket. Very simple to install I did have to drill hole 1/2 inch because of contact ends to fit through. The rest was running wire to battery very simple. I felt that it was needed because as I add light and whatnot to my bike knowing the health of my battery is very important. When bike is not in use for winter it's plugged into battery tender all the time. So battery stay good.. Get it!! You won't be sorry!!

PS: It does have a light so you can see it at night if you have to look at it. But this one also has a beeping sound when your battery is in trouble.

these are no made for a 2000 gl1500

I got these for a 2000 gL 1500 se goldwing
i had to pull side and fornt of faring to get them to fit some what, they should stop saying they are for goldwing 1500 2000. because they are not,,I also told took several hours to finish the job
In short you would be better off buying universal pegs then these. only reason i am giving one start is because there or no zeros.
