Hi guys
I am seriously considering in purchasing the GL1800 Accessories Pakit Rak for GL1800 Without An Existing Trailer Hitch

http://wingstuff.com/pgroup_detail/29386_GL1800_Accessories_Pakit_Rak_for_GL1800_Without/

What i would like to know is, is there anyone out there that has this and do you need to put down pipes so that the exhaust does not melt the bag like i have been reading on some comments . I would like to keep my original pipes and possibly later buy a set of Cobra Mufflers which have a straight ends as well. I dont want to put a trailer hitch and this is perfect for what i want when i go on long trips.
Thanks for any imput

I don't have a hitch or Pakit, but I did buy these for my 09 GL1800. They seem like good quality and I'm pleased withthe way they look.. Installation takes about 5 minutes..

Hey guys, Don't have that one or an 1800 but I put my own together here's a link w/pictures. I love it, don't have to worry about my exhaust but I think if you guys use the turn downs you'll be set.

Thanks for the link fossil, it looks like you have straight pipes on and hopefully there is no melting issue. What i did notice and i didnt think before was that i will need a rear mudflap for when it rains so i wont get all that muck thrown back from the rear wheel.
