Best/Worst of the F6B

[mike neal]

The good....handles like a sport bike after you dial in the rear shock. All day riding - no problem and tons of torque which allows the rider to improve his/her riding technique with minimal effort.

The bad...paint is poor quality for the price of the bike, color selection sucks and needs a cruise control option.

The UGLY is the windscreen. Simply too short to be of any useful value for serious riders. Replaced mine with a National Cycle aftermarket. Added the air vent and chopped out the center slot. Used the stock screen for a template to drill new mounting holes to lower the screen 3 inches lower than the previous lowest position. Now the visual is "over" the top of the screen and it is high enough to move the bugs and air over my body but the helmet and rider view is unobstructed for more spirited riding. The air vent was a must in the summer heat of Texas.
Ride safe my friends.

I don't see a windshield for the F6B on National's website. Did you buy a regular Goldwing windshield and drill it to fit?
