Hi Tom,

I can't begin to tell you how much my wife loves her new F6B "Low Wing". She's much more comfortable and confident at stop signs and traffic signals now that she can easily plant her feet flat-footed. It makes all the difference in the world and she hasn't had one issue with dragging the belly pan anywhere. Great product Tom! And I like the fact the 1.25" drop and Baker center stand raise the rear tire off the ground so I can easily check pressure and clean the wheel. It's absolutely perfect for the vertically challenged!

Hi Tom,

We spoke on Monday about ordering your lowering kit for my F6B Goldwing. Bought it from you on Monday and it arrived on Wednesday, very quick turnaround Description: Image removed by sender. :-)!

I installed it on Thursday as per your instructions, however I did not remove the rear-tire. It did take about 3 hours including lowering the front fork tubes half-inch.

Rode bike Thursday night and I must say it works great Description: Image removed by sender. :-D! I purchased the 1 inch drop kit and my feet are much more comfortable when standing at a light. I'm only 5' 6" and it helps when riding this bike. I also like the stance on the bike, the lower ride gives the bike a nice look.

Not a big twisty road type of rider so I must say this will work great for my use. My bike has floorboards so I am sure they will hit before I ever bottom out.

Great product and glad I had the opportunity of speaking with you.......it's not every day you get to speak with the designer of products you may purchase. You gave me great insight and that helped in my decision of purchasing your lowering kit!

Hello Tom,

I had the lowering kit installed by Contra Costa PowerSports. They made comments that the shim for the kickstand way brilliant!!! also the parts for lowering the bike was Outstanding!!!. The Goldwing goes up on the center stand much easier even with the load levers all the wan down. The 2008 wing does not scrape when going around corners but I am kinda new on this new wing so I don't lean really hard into it. Beside the tires on the wing isn't the best so once I ware out these tires I will get good ones and then we will test the clearance. Laura (the wife) and I plan to join the local chapter of the Goldwing club GWRRA (Goldwing Road Riders Association) who has been established ever-sense I had my first Goldwing in 1987? or around then. Thank You again Tom. see attached Goldwing in my garage and my Rottweiler checking it out in the lower left hand corner.

Hi Tom,

The Wing Lowering Kit 3/4" lowered the bike much more then I thought it would and I still have the 400 LBS carrying capacity T. he handling is better and I feel much more assured in riding it and carring my wife. It was very easy with the directions to install. My dream of owning a newer wing and ridding it with confidence has come true, thanks to you and your engineering and willingness to help others. Your recommendation to try the 3/4" rather then the 11/4" was right on the money. The cost of the material is fair, the quality of the material used is of the highest quality, packing and shipping was outstanding, and delivery was very fast. Thank you for all you do Tom.

Installed the bracket, the center-stand the shim for the side stand,and lowered the front forks, 8-5-14. Less than 2 hours by great Honda people in Austin Mn. Even looked different just sitting there when done. Been looking to lower a 1800 since 2007. Best thing in the world. Even found some speed bumps in a apartment parking lot, NO SCRAPING! 100% Satisfied all around. NEW BIKE and RIDER!! Thank you

Hi, Tom
Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. Back in the frozen North now (Canada). Put on almost 2000 miles since lowering and love the fact that I can put both feet flat on the ground. Most of my riding is with my wife Colleen on the back and the bike handles wonderfully now. Have had a few instances of hitting the center stand but nothing that bothered me. Only one incident of floorboard scrape when cornering. Wonderful product and would highly recommend it to anyone. Easy install. Have not dropped front forks yet but will do soon. Thanks again for the wonderful product. Not sure how to post comments on your website, but feel free to move this comment to your site. Again thank you.

Hi, Tom
This is Dennis with the 2012 goldwing. I think it was Tuesday 2/19/13 that I called you and ordered the 1" lowering bracket - got it Friday, but didn't get to install it till yesterday 2/26/13. It wasn't that hard to do, it took me about an hour and a half. It was actually easier to install than the center stand, and I did not remove the rear wheel. I set my preload to 8, which is what I use when riding 1 up and sitting on the bike I'm 95% flat footed 2 up preload set to 20 100% flat footed. To add to this, I'm 5'7 195 pounds 28" inseam. Did not get to ride, it was late when I finished but will send more feedback when I do.

Thank you for answering all my questions and the fast delivery. I belong to the GWRRA and have already passed your web site along to my chapter. I was going to put this on your reviews page and couldn't figure out how. Thank you very much.

Had my kit installed for more than a month now. It's fantastic. My only regret is that I didn't do it a lot sooner. In combination with the Baker centerstand, it makes life a lot easier. Thanks for a great product.

Well your lowering kit worked out great. I found the Quality of your parts to be excellent. Bike does seem to handle better with the CG lower.

Bike doesn't feel too big now. Only one issue, it's really hard to get it off the center stand. No big deal I don't use the CS much.

Thanks Tom!

I have tried your lowering kit and am amazed at the performance of the bike and the confidence it has given me because my feet can touch the ground, no problem. I have recomended this kit to others and have heard that they have purchased it from you. I wish to thank you again and it is nice to know that there are people out there that can engineer a good product like this. It's too bad that Goldwing does not make use of people like yourself , because with your expertise you can be an asset to that company. Anyway's thanks again and I wish you all the best in the future.

After several months of reading the customer reviews, and several conversations with you, I finally decided to order the 1" bracket. I received it yesterday, and had it installed today.

When I went to pick up my bike, it was parked at an angle and I didn't notice any difference. As soon as I attempted to put my leg over the seat, I noticed a significant difference. My boot did not hit the seat anymore. I was even more surprised when I sat on the bike. At 5'6", I'm now approx. 95% flat footed. On the ride home, I didn't experience any difference in handling, but I must admit that I was being extra careful on curves. I rode home at '0' preload, not knowing where to set it for riding single. Any recommendations for riding single and double. My wife and I are approx. 35 lbs under the weight limit for a 1" link.

Thank you so much for your product. I'm just sorry I didn't order it sooner.

Good Morning Tom just geting back to you to let you know the 1-1/4 lowering bracket works with the ride off stand and stainless steel belly pan. My wife and I just got back from a two day trip to St Louis from Columbus pulling a trailer 1100 miles Know Problems with less wind turbulance from all the Trucks on Interstate 70 what a difference in handling also both feet flat on the ground and knees slightly bent. I will personly recomend this to anyone. Also did not remove the rear wheel just jacked up at rear drive housing with jack and two small boards installed in less than one hour easy for a 60 year old.

Thanks Again

Tom:

Just thought I would check back with you after riding my Goldwing with the kit installed for a while. It is everything that I had hoped it would be, and more. While I could reach the ground before, I always felt unsure. After the Lowering kit was installed, the difference in the way I can handle the bike is significant. I can now ride two up with my wife and feel like I am in control. My only regret is that I didn't order the kit long before I did. I would recommend your kit to any Goldwing owner. Thanks so very much not only for an awesome product, but for the communication and concern during the whole transaction. I was really impressed that you followed up to see if I had gotten the kit installed shortly after I had received it. Service like that is extremely rare these days.

The service manager at my Honda dealer was also impressed. I gave him your information and I would expect that he will give you some referrals. I know if anyone asks for my opinion, your product will get rave reviews.

Thanks so much,

I receive the Brace on Monday and I had it put on this morning based upon your directions. I cannot beleive the difference it is so wonderful to come to a stop and actually be flat footed. I now beleive that I can control the bike 100% better. I cannot thank-you enought for making this bracket.

Thanks-again

Tom: Just back from a long test ride and I can report that I am thoroughly impressed with the handling and safety of the bike. I wouldn't take a new wing off the show room floor without your kit unless I was over 6 feet tall. At 5'10 inches, It has made all the difference in the way I handle the bike and my confidence at slow speeds is just like riding my cruiser, vtx. Thanks for the product. I'm a believer and proponent of your fine product.

Thanks

Hi Tom. After using the lowering bracket for 4 months I've decided to leave feedback. All I can say is thank you. I bottomed out a couple times before I installed the new center stand but now everything is great. So much better to be flat footed.

Thanks again!

Concerning the lowering Kit - Works great. I had the Honda dealer install. They said it was the first they did. They were very impressed with the quality of the new link. Dropped the seat height just as you advertise. What I also did was get the MUSTANG seat. This also helped in lowering the seat height. For me with a 28" in-seam, both your lowering kit and the MUSTANG seat were a lifesaver.

Hi Tom: Received the lowering kit and had it installed! I am very pleased with the results ( I ordered the 1 1/4"). I am more confident now that I can place my feet flat on the ground! Thank you for a great product!

Hi Tom Just wanted to tell you that your product and you are top notch. Went on vacation over the 4th of July. With the kit I was flat footed on stops, the wind didn't blow me around like before and the confidence it gave me in driving the bike with my wife on was great. Where we went there was lots of curves, stopping on hills and never had any problems because of the balance and being able to have my feet solid on the ground. Installation with a friend and the instructions you sent, anyone can do it. I had a dealer lower the forks 1/2 inch.

Again thanks and God bless.

J.B.-

Tom; They installed it today. I am amazed at the difference. The bike feels more stable and I can put my feet flat on the ground. I can not thank you enough. I gave your card to the dealership service manager (Eastside Honda). Thanks again.

Tom, I installed the 1" lowering kit on my GL1800 about two months and 2K miles ago. I am VERY pleased with the result. I am 5'4" with a 28" inseam. I had 30K miles on the GL1800 prior to installing the lowering kit. I have gone from my tip toes to almost being completly flat footed. You provided me with the center stand with the modified pedal arm. It works great and looks fine. My only issue is with aggressive speed bumps. I have only found one so far that I have scraped. I avoid all that I can now. Thanks for a great product.

John

Tom,
I installed the bracket on Friday and all I can say is - THANKS! It works as advertised. Feet firmly on the ground and much more in control. I put a set of Bridgestone tires on at the same time and boy the combination really woke up the bike. My wife, who is by far no motor head, even mentioned it was a much better ride and she didn't feel leaned over so bad in the corners. I'm totally a fan.

Thanks again!

Mike-

Tom;

All I can say is your “Bracket” is the greatest confidence builder I have ever experienced during my years of riding tip toed on Honda Goldwings. Bob * and I installed your 1 ¼” Lowering Bracket on my 2005 GL1800 and lowered the front forks ½” as recommended.

The end result provides the effect of having a much lower center of gravity and allows me at 5’ 5” tall so much “flat footed” control that I am able to back the bike without the use of the reverse gear. Also, when coming to a stop or holding the bike up I am flat footed with the rear shock set at the max height setting of 25.

After, seeing the ease of installing the Bracket as described, and test driving my Wing we installed the 1” lowering Brackets on both Bobs and George's Wings.

Hi Tom, I want to start by apologizing for my previous e-mail to you about your product. I failed to properly diagnose my suspension problem and thought it was due to the installation of your product and it turned out to be the front forks going bad on my bike. I have since rebuilt them and everything is like it should be so once again I apologize for blaming your product and wish to convey my complete satisfaction with it.

Dave

I had my lowering bracket put on today and the minute I got on my cycle I knew it was lower. I feel much safer knowing I can reach the ground better. I will sing the praises to all I know. Thanks so much for providing the lowering bracket.

Hello Tom,

My bike has full Traxxion suspension. I lowered the front about 10mm and set the rear pre-load between 5 - 10. It works out great for me (I always ride solo). I already installed the shock arm on Sunday with the help of my wife. The installation was straight forward, but it takes time due to limited space down there. I test rode the bike, and it was great. Now I feel more control over the bike. I can put both of my feet flat on the ground (I have a 29" inseam). I usually put my left foot down at stop, but now I can put down both feet. It's easy to walk the bike in stand still traffic or rough area like sand or grass. So far no peg dragging in corner/turn yet. Went through a few bumps at work, and it did not bottom out. As far as putting the bike on center stand, I can no longer do it. Now I have to drive the rear wheel up on 1" thick board, then rock it on the center stand.

Overall, I am very satisfied with the bracket (wish I could have done this sooner)

Trinh-

The installation was not difficult. I installed a Progressive spring on the rear shock at the same time and the stronger spring keeps the bike from dropping too far when encountering dips and bumps. The instructions for modifying the side stand were right on but some people might not get it just from the picture - I would suggest a short note along with the picture.

I found that by setting the preload to the max I was able to get the bike on the center stand but it is a little tuff and not everyone would be able to so the ride on center stand is a good idea and if I get some extra money I may get one just to make life easy. I have a 28 inch inseam and with the preload set at 5 I can sit my but down in the seat and my back against the back rest and I am able to flat foot both feet. The only way I could do that before was to slide up and lean forward.

I measured the difference in height to 0 preload and 25 preload before I installed your bracket and it was ¾ of an inch so with your bracket and my preload at 25 I am ¾ of an inch lower than the stock setup at 0 preload.

Thank You for making this product. I wish you had done it 5 years ago - I would have saved some money on aftermarket seats trying to do what your bracket does.

Greetings my friend! The unit is installed and doing great. Cost of install was $131. No problems with installation instructions. I have not put the bike through too many curves yet, but I have ridden it some and it seems to be doing nice through the cornering. Thanks again my friend and I know God is going to bless you in every way.

I just wanted to let you know how much I like the lowering bracket. It really is a wonderful improvement. I can now stand flat footed over my bike with a 27" inseam. It has given me more confidence in riding my '02 GL 1800. It has changed the feel of the bike but only by making it feel more responsive in the steering. I have to be more careful going over the speed bumps, but I have only scraped once in the last two weeks of having the bracket on; even with two up riding. I would recommend this bracket to anyone wanting to get their feet on the ground. I have taken the bike over to my mechanic for him to try and he loves the effect. He said that is enough to make him want to go back to two wheels and is willing to stock this bracket for other height challenged riders.

Thanks again for such a great product. I will keep you up to date on my experiences with your lowering bracket.

Sir, I bought your lowering kit and had it installed in Tulsa. The following are comments you asked for good and bad!

1. I own a '06 1800 GW. I have dropped it twice because of my inseam of 29" (and being stupid ). The 1800 was lowered 1" on the front forks and 1 and 1/2" on the rear.
2. After the modification, I can now touch the ground with both feet flat. The bike handles better and has a lower center of gravity. I had considered several other options before your modification which range in cost from four to eight thousand dollars. This is my 3rd GW and my 8th cycle.
3. I will need to do the kick stand grinding at the "V" because I like a little more lean on the stand. This is the only problem I have found other then it is much harder to get it on the center stand but I fixed that problem by rolling the back wheel on a block of wood. I intend to have the center stand shortened.

Thank you for inventing a life saver, it has meant a great deal to shortys like me.

Hello Tom,

Well I had the lowering kit installed today. Our local Gold Wing professional installed it and adjusted the triple tree and ground down the side stand in two hours it cost $126.00. Ivan "the technician" said it was the nicest after market part that he has ever delt with. Ivan worked on my 50cub when I was a kid,( I still own it 45 years later). Anyways, I'm so pleased with the outcome, I plan on taking my bike and the info to our next chapter meeting.

So if I had to describe your product it would be FANTASTIC !!! Thanks for your help

Ron-

So far I have customized my seat, lowered front end by 3/4 inch and now installed lowering kit. To make system work I had to adjust side stand and remove center stand. I now probably have the only lowrider Goldwing in Michigan. Feels great to have control of the bike, to feel safe at stops and etc. I had to make an emergency stop and I was able to keep bike under control. Not sure I could have done so without lowering bike. I have had several individuals check out bike at ralley. Told them where to find information on bracket.

Leonard-

Had my bracket installed today. Could tell the difference in handling and now my knees are bent slightly when coming to a stop. The mechanic, Tim of World of Wheels, is also short and was very much impressed when he test drove my bike. In fact he wanted the information of source so he can tell his friends and cutomers about it. It is not often one runs into a mechanic that knows Gold Wings but he is top dog, just short.

Hi Tom

Yes it was a good ride about 800k (500 Miles) I did catch the stand when I arrived at my destination going up a driveway however the dip between the road and driveway was a bit deep pre load was at 10 with only me on the bike. 4 of us are going for a trip up the north island of New Zealand next month probably about 1500Miles with my wife on the back now I am a little bit more aware hopefully I will not catch the stand again I will let you know.

I fitted the bracket myself with the rear wheel on I found it very simple. It may be a good idea if you mention in your instructions that the (don’t know there proper name) metal tube are to be removed from the original bracket and fitted into the new bracket, I was a bit confused when I saw that the new bracket did not have the tubes inside it.

The bracket did give me a lot more confidence on the bike

Cheers
