Couple days ago was up in the Texas panhandle and got caught in a dust storm with crosswinds in the 35-40mph range. I have been riding over 40 years on all kinds of bikes and I think the F6 handled the "breeze" quite nicely. It was no major drama. For the record I have an OEM Goldwing windshield cut down enough for me to see over it when sitting on Mustang seat.............good combo!
One of the big reasons I want a heavier bike than the Mighty KLR is the problem with crosswinds. The wind in Nebraska can just throw a lighter bike around. And I won't take the KLR across Wyoming. So I think the F6B could likely deal with this well. Glad to hear your good report.
Try it with a KLR-250.. :shock:
The San Diego Bay Bridge is quite the experience in Santa Anas!
I grew up in the TX panhandle, if you can fly, play golf, or ride a motorcycle there, you can do all three anywhere.Quote:

Wow! What a difference. We have had some striking wind the last couple of weeks and barely a bobble. I am very pleasesd with how the belly pan does that part of it's job. (yes, I did see a little blood during the install)

+1 on the difference AND the blood. I knew I should have worn the shop gloves.Quote:

I can see no reason to leave sharp edges or pointy corners in place.
