    Looks like Wings converted to F6B.

    The 2014 wings have color-matched fairing side panels,,, no more of the 'silver for all' fairing side panels

    It is a full Wing that has been converted. Look at the silver wheels, and the CB controls on the left handlebar. That is a Wing, not an F6B.

    Didn't catch that, but that's not unusual. Was never a big fan of the "Murdered out/ blacked out look,other than my x-police Charger, although a fan of black. I like how the wheels go good w/ the bike along w/the chrome accents. That will be what I will be striving for, a good balance of chrome and Black.

    Any idea what years of the full size gold wing wheels fit the F6b and thanks in advance.

    Choptop, the answer is: ALL years of the GL-1800 wheels fit onto an F6B. From 2001 to 2014, all the GL-1800 wheels will work. The only real difference is in the coloring of the F6B wheels. If you do go for different wheels, there are chrome ones available through the aftermarket world, there are powder-coated ones, like I have done on my bikes, and...you need to decide if you want the Tire Pressure sensor units that come with some of the later model Wings wheels. Example, I bought a secondary rear wheel from a dealer that makes trikes. Came with new wheel and new rear tire. Once that tire was worn out...and came off, I removed the TPMS from the wheel, had the wheel powder-coated a high gloss black, and installed a new stainless steel valve stem.

    So, all the GL-1800 wheels will fit a F6B.

    Thanks Miles, I do like the black, offset by chrome look, would be nice to have the tires swapped at the dealer before I bring it home.

    As most know...I am a fan of black and chrome...to me it is b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l !!!!! I also agree there is a limit to either all black or to much chrome...

    As far as swapping out wheels, the rear is a direct replacement.... the front, the spacer on the right side also needs to come from a bike with chrome wheels, our black wheel spacer will not work and I thing one other thing, sorry can not remember what the other thing is. I researched this when I was going to exchange wheels with a guy from TX with a GW....
