I installed Traxxion as soon as they were available and never looked back. Near bulletproof! Good job Chris on the reviews! Thank you for all you do!

[@waynemckey4629]

Wingstuff did it right on the latest design sent to me about 3 weeks ago; the T-Bolt is now provided with that 2nd nut/washer to make the pre-installation simple and easy. The total installation from out of the box was 15 minutes and most of that was hunting my 12 mm socket for the front hanger bolts to remove/replace. The first versions were poorly designed with having to make your own bends BUT they fit perfectly now, and the install can easily be done by anyone that has any mechanical abilities. With all products we always see improvement and revisions made to offer a better product. Thumbs up to the latest version Wingstuff. My 2018 Gold Wing DTC and I are both ready for some more road debris to try and dodge around.......... Happy & safe riding G/W Riders

I put the Wingstuff pan on my 2021 wing. I was not concerned with price but I was uncomfortable attaching a pan to the engine case. The wingstuff pan is more flexible and mounts to frame which I think would offer better protection even if it is less beefy. I could be wrong, but who knows?

Hello Cruiseman my name Is Karl living in Perth Western Australia I started watching your channel about 3 weeks ago Goldwing Vs Bmw very good review. Just watched the engine protection video . many years ago ( 1982) I was on my way from Austria to Australia Via the US and Canada. First from NYC to Niagra Falls In a small $299 Subaru all the way across Canada to Jasper . where I had friends from there I went with 2 Canadians on a gs750 Suzuki and Honda CB 750 via Edmonton to Calgary down to Montana riding mostly Pillion on the Suzuki. Then I asked Fred if I could ride for a while as we are doing mostly freeways. he said yes so we carried on approximatly 30 min later doing about 110kmh( 70mph ) we got thrown for ward I looked down no revs and all the lights on. I pulled the clutch nothing all this time Fred was screaming on the back ( lots of bad words )

I wish I would have seen your video much sooner. I bottomed out and cracked my 2022 Gold Wing's engine case back in June. 667 miles on the bike. What a nightmare. Bike was at the shop for 3 months. Sat outside quite a bit. Not cool. No updates on progress unless I stopped in to check. Got so aggravated by the absolutely horrible experience that I sold them the bike back.

No question about it Traxxion. For what we have invested in our steeds, the quality, engineering, and design is 2022 technology. Wingstuf, markets the same thin pan I had on my 1998 Aspencade. With Honda exposing the casing weakness and another ouch point in engineering and exposure- a given of course- Max accepted our request for help and designed, engineered and funded engineered multi year research to solve a recognized shortfall in need of eliminating a recognized shortfall. Then he did what he always does, he pushes the envelope and produces a winning solution. The cost difference between alternatives less than one bling light we but on our GW to look pretty. Thank you Max for always giving us a choice, and yes it is my choice and money and safety. Just my preference. I’ll get it back in spades when I buy up. That is ROI.

[@dray439]

I went with the Wingstuff pan. The rear T-bolt was longer, and included a second nut. You secure the bolt first, then put the pan in place. Time will tell how many have engine leak problems with the Traxxion pan. I'm also concerned that mounting their pan to the motor would transfer more shocks and impacts to the motor case.

[@Supernaut2000]

I would NOT use engine case bolts to mount the belly pan. If it hits smaller objects, it will stress and apply tension to the engine case. Besides you have to do this at every oil change. No thanks.

[@michaelcadiz1004]

very good report on the both companies products. both products provide the needed protection needed. YOU provided an open honest review of both. Thank you for your help in this needed product for our motorcycles.

[@mikeaho4143]

I went with Traxxion. No issues on the install and it took me about 45 minutes as I took my time. Thanks Chris great review.

[@johnanderson9735]

Great review, thanks for the honest assessment on both products.

[@colinkennedy8523]

Appreciate the strong detail on both Chris!

[@4loyal]

Hello Cruiseman!

[@whatsupeh1]

Thanks for the review. I bought the Traxxion model this winter and am waiting for warmer weather to install it. Looks like a quality product and I’m sure it’ll provide all the protection that I expect from it.

[@gregb.6682]

Thank you for the helpful review. I purchased the Traxxion protection. No problems..Quality construction!

[@gregoryjones3072]

Thank you sir. Informative video. Insightful comments. 2021 DCT here. I know which protection I will go with.

[@mhilde7744]

You can't beat these reviews whether you're "for or against" Also, very good pt about supply chain issues and replacement parts.

[@martypetty9727]

Had a similar problem on my 2018 wing. Sheard the casted gear shift connection to the engind case. Over $11,000.00 to fix and It has been in the shop sinse September 1st 2021. [about 6-months] waited a very long time for all the parts to get in. During the repair, they discovered that they need a special tool that they didn't have and that has been on back order for 30 days now.

[@lindateasley5025]

Traxxion gets my vote. Much, much more substansial than the wing stuff one!

[@billsherrill7768]

After watching videos of the installation of each and reviewing what I thought the sturdiness of the materials would be - I went with Traxxion. I also preferred Traxxion's mounting choices - seemed better thought-out.
