two things learned today

[jaygollner]

I learned two things today on a round trip ride from NW Indiana to Indy and back
1. 90% of the cars parked in the left lane have Illinois plates.
2. My bike handles much better at 90 than it does at 100, In fact I would rather ride my 97 Valk at 100 than the F6B. I am going to have to look at a belly pan a little harder.

Do you not have a belly pan?

I guess I need to fix mine.

What does the belly pan do?

Many here in the forum say it helps the buffeting at highway speed, I am going to look real hard at that as I am not happy with handling at high speed (100 MPH).

I'm curious, is the F6B smooth as silk through the whole power band, even at 100, or does it have a few rough spots in between?

No bad spots as you head toward and past 100. I'm a fan of belly pan, have one on the 6 and on the 09 wing I had. My 6 is very smooth at higher speed.

Smooth ride on mine at low 120's. Only accessories are kury cup panel, ram mount and gps, 11" C.Baileys screen, and GL1800 cubby spwr socket.

Hit 120mph this weekend (for a few seconds) - felt fine. :yes:

It has plenty of power I would say it jumps even at eighty MPH my best guess is a couple three seconds 80 to 100 but I have not timed it.
Now if I could only get the FIBS (Friendly Illinois buddies) to get the hell out of the passing lane things would be much better.
