Subject: Review of Balancers on GL1800
Lee,
It's been a few months since I rode the goldwing to your facility in Alvarado and bought the balancers for my goldwing. I'm the engineer that works for LINK Flight Simulation... we talked for a while and you asked me
to let you know how they worked... here goes.
I've been upgrading the bike in stages and noting what the effect was. I initially changed the rear wheel over to a "Car Tire" and added your balancer to that with no additional weights and it worked fine. The next
step was to upgrade the suspension to a full "Traxxion" suspension, which helped a lot with the ride and suspension issues on the Goldwing. Last week it was time to replace the front tire and add the balancers at the same time... and the results were SPECTACULAR!!! The bike now feels like it is on rails, smooth, solid, precise... everything that I've hoped to have on the goldwing. My wife wasn't with me when I took a day off and got the tires and Centramatic balancers installed. Later that night when we went out for a ride, she asked me what I had done to the bike... the handling was that much better!
Bottom line... you have a customer for life and I'll tell everyone I know about these things. Also, you really need to make these for any heavy touring bike from Harley Davidson or BMW and market them. This has been the
biggest bang for my buck that I've ever paid for motorcycle accessories and you folks could sell these to the motorcycle community, seriously!
This got a lot of interest at the Flying Tire motorcycle shop in Fort Worth where I got my front tire and had the balancers installed. Really, you folks could sell these to the motorcycle community.
Carl M.
