Dorjet Landing Gear

[tuntavern]

Has anybody used their product or dealt with the Doorjet company?
They seem to have the nicest landing gear for Goldwings that I've seen. They are pricey, but I'm interested now that I'm in my 60's.
The company is in Turkey, so naturally I'm a bit leery spending that much money without knowing their reputation.
Thanks for any info.

Not to be punctilious.... but it is spelled Dorjet. Makes it easier to google if the spelling is correct

From Vito on the GL1800 site:

There was an engineer in Florida,I believe, that started making this type gadget and initially I was very interested. I read that there were real doubts about how well it really worked, but for me the reason I stopped considering it was when despite asking about it on numerous motorcycle forums I never found a single rider who had bought and used it. The logistics of riding to Florida to get it installed were a bit challenging, and I was also concerned with essentially losing one of the side cases to house the mechanism. I decided on a CanAm Spyder instead.

He'll also be in hot water with Honda lawyers if they discover the fact that he is using their trademarked Goldwing logo on his product....

Perhaps that is why it is manufactured in Turkey...

But seriously, it looks better than anything I have seen so far.

Since the 'dealer locator' on their web page is a bit fouled up, it's not clear if there is a dealer here in North America for the product.

Three large for the product and at least another thousand dollars for installation?

Yeah, it's cheaper than doing a full-on trike kit to a bike, but...

If I was the manufacturer, I think I'd be working my a$$ off to get something developed for the current-model of GL1800. I think they'd make up a much better market to put it om something that's available.

Yeah, I tend to do that from time to time. Fingers spasm and I double hit keys. Oh well.
