Belly Pan...Is there a need?

[Hornblower]

The main thing that keeps me from adding this is that it adds more steps to changing the oil. I already added a Fumoto Qwik Valve to make that as easy as possible and, in addition, I've found that I don't have to remove the lower cowl. To put something else on there that makes me get out tools to change the oil is just something I'd rather not do.

Yep, that was me earlier talking about how I didn't want to add a belly pan. Well, it looks like I changed my mind since I ordered one of these today. The two-screw-removable front panel makes the prospect of extra work in changing the oil more acceptable for me. Mainly though, I like the idea of protecting the plastic coolant tank and adding an extra layer of protection for the otherwise exposed belly.

Many outside influences are draining my bank account and yes, you are one of them When I first bought this F6B Goldwing, I had no idea there would be so many ways to spend money on it. It is fun though, isn't it?

I was not going to buy one, but after seeing all the pic's of damage and the water bottle " right " there...why not ?

I received a PM on this belly pan and here is a pic and the eml address to order one...they were on Wing Stuff....I'll look in a min and post if they are. As belly pans go..this is a nice one and very thick....I use it to lift the F6 off the ground with my lift...perfect. For those who do not care for the chrome...the maker will paint your black!!!
