Nice job, as always! Looks like WAY more light cast than the HONDA fog lights. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
What a great job. I am glad there are people like yourself that takes their time to provide videos for everyone to use. Thank you!!
I like a driving light installation video that starts with, 'remove driving light covers', rather than, 'disassemble the entire motorcycle'. Easy installation, plus super bright. Rivco it is!
I bought the hemostats. Heavier and sturdier, longer and bigger than I expected. Great! They're a better value than I expected. Many thanks for that tip.
Again a very clear and nice review thanks Cruiseman's Garage
Thanks four month later, it works really good !! and the installation was as easy, as shown by you ;-)
EHHXcellent! I was skeptical of having a switch that was not the OEM button but the switch placement is out of sight yet convenient. Not that I'll actually use it anyway, because, if I had the Ricvo driving lights on my '18 Goldwing, I would never turn them off anyway. Thanks for another great video Cruiseman!
just bought it, greetings from Hamburg, Thanks ;-)
Another great video. I installed these lights three weeks ago and they are great in the daylight too. One note however. The GoldStrike Tiedown brackets use the same horn / fog light boss to secure the lower arm of their bracket. If both the tiedown bracket and lights are used, it pushes the lights off center to the plastic cover opening by the thickness of the GS bracket, 0.162". In my case, the RH side was okay. The LH side was too far off center. I knew that and talked to RIVCO before ordering them and discussed options. For the time being, I'm leaving the lights centered, and the LH tiedown bracket off.
As always great instructions.
Nice instructional video. Honda really got cheap about pre- wiring for accessories.
Great installation video, lights seem very effective. Checked Rivco link, $299.95 seem very high for simple kit, maybe cause it's new model Wing.
Hey Chris I like you videos for years. On the Driving light installation @ 7:12 is that a stress crack on your frame below the weld? Please inspect that close maybe it was the lighting on the video.

The install looks pretty straightforward and well described. Great job. I do have a couple of question. I did not see the switch. Is it an OEM or similar switch? And where it is exactly is the switch located? Thank you Alf 🇨🇦
Great instructional video. I like the coverage that those fog lights give. The only thing I wish Rivco would use the Honda fog light switch. I am not fond of the Rivco switch. Santa purchased the big bike parts led fog lights for me. Unfortunately they are on backorder.
An OEM-style switch may be a future option offered by RIVCO.
How would one go about wiring these as to have them trigger on with the high beams? I currently have a pair of aftermarket lights on an FJR, and am powering them thru a Skene Intelligent Controller. I would like to do something similar on my 2018 Wing, which would give me a final setup of 10% power on low beams, and 100% when the highbeams are activated. Given the CANBUS system of the wing, I suspect that wiring would be different.
This appears better than the OEM's
Great video as always. I like the light these Rivco's put out but don't like the Rivco switch. Santa bought me the Honda fog lights and spent almost all day installing the darn switch in the console.. I was surprised you did not install the fog light switch it at the same time you did your HondaLink switches. I referenced your Hondalink install video a number of times to help me though the the fog light switch install.
I think RIVCO may eventually offer an OEM-style switch for the console.
Amazing difference in light. Will the hi-beam wash out the driving lights? Also, is there an inline fuse in the power lead coming off the fuse block terminal?
No, the high beams throw the light down the road while the driving lights provide a lot of fill light between the bike and where the hi-beams start illuminating. There is no in-line fuse (easy to add one). The ACC terminal is fused (3 amp, I think).
i love gold wing
Mrs. Claus was kind enough to give me a set for my new sleigh. They are so bright, I've let Rudolph go.
Hi my friend , when are you coming to Aruba for an vacation?
Ones you are here i have a job for you, to install the home-link and fog lamps bottoms or me.
I installed the fog lamps already but waiting on the home-link to install together with the bottoms from the home-link and the fog lamps.
Let me now. Best regards from Aruba........................One Happy Island.......................
Cruiseman- Love these lights. Can these lights be wired so they operate with your high beams using the OEM handlebar high beam switch? (If I’ve got to send a message to a vehicle about to turn left in front of me I want to be able to give them a full on frontal blast of light). That is in addition to this new Wings great horn.
If you use the RIVCO wiring harness and switch, then it bypasses the Honda switching altogether. That means the fog lights will remain ON when you hit your hi-beams. However, there is no way I know of to have your hi-beam switch turn ON the fog lights.
You light up my life😂
Nice job Cruiseman. How many lumens are these Rivco auxiliary lights?
They are rated at 6,000 lumens and 6K temperature.
I heard that the Rivco lights draw more power then the factory LED Driving lights, with that being said, I understand why Rivco is using a relay and external connection to the battery. But, what I don't understand is, instead of using the switch, why don't they use the factory headlight connection to actuate the relay? This way you can install the factory switch and everything is neat.
Hey Cruisman, I installed the rivco driving lights on my 2018 wing. The installation went good as I followed your installation video. They are super bright at night and I love them when I can use them. I mainly put them on for better visibility in the day time so oncoming drivers can see me better. Now when I use them in the day time I have some drivers flash their lights at me. They probably think they are too bright and are shining in their eyes. Lately I have not been using them because I don’t want to annoy other drivers. Any ideas on how maybe I can dim them during the day time? Smoked lenses or maybe a dimmer switch?

You might try adjusting the angle slightly downward.
@@cruisemansgarage thanks, I will try it.
Hey Cruisman, another great video. Question, does the main power dial kill the lights when you power down or do they stay on. Either way think I'm going to invest in a set. So much brighter and the install looks sooooooooooooooooo much easier than the OEM version. Tks
Yes, when you turn off the bike, it kills the lights. The ACC terminal on the fuse box is a SWITCHED terminal, so it only gets power when the bike is running or in ACC mode. The lights are SUPER bright.
thanks much, must be popular, out of stock currently
@@rtt3114 Really?
yes sir
Lights work good. We just got the rain you got late yesterday and it was a lot of rain...
BTW; Those horn bolts are not 12mm, the bolts are probably an 8mm that takes a 12mm wrench.
While I can't argue against your statement, I would only add that most of us only are concerned about the tool that is needed to do the job, not the specifications behind the fastener itself. For example, when I'm removing the bolts that hold the seat in place, I know that I need to reach for my 5mm hex driver. Knowing the thread does me no good.
@@MotoRideswJohn That's because you are talking about a wrench and not a bolt...
@@MotoRideswJohn I think you meant 6mm Allen.
@@cruisemansgarage Yes, of course you are right!
Cruiseman's, I already have the OEM Honda fog lights installed on my 2018. Do you think I could splice the Rivco lights into the OEM Honda harness and use all the stock components?
Thx,
Greg
I am afraid that question is above my pay grade. You should probably talk to Rich at RIVCO about that. Probably could be done.
FYI, Rivco says that I can use all the stock Honda wiring and switch, just swap out the lights.
Greg@@cruisemansgarage
@@ibhandlebar Cool!
@@ibhandlebar hello sir, have you done it by now? I was wondering if I can just cut the leads off on both sides and just install the Rivco fog lights insted of the OEM lights. Do I still need the relay provided by Rivco?
Nice but I did not see the switch its self... Is it in the kit or is it already installed by Honda. Thx
I show the switch installed at 8:16 in the video.
Ok, I see now. Blended in so good I did not notice it. Thx.
Chris, I am installing these lights with the intention of keeping them on at all times. I don't need the on/off switch. Is there any reason I cannot simply clip the wire and remove it? The other wires will go to a Show Chrome Isolation Fuse Block. Thank you.
You could.
@@cruisemansgarage thank you.
Hi, there is a Polish flag behind you
"Hemostats"??
So that's their real name......
