    First Trip

    Ran over to Stanford to visit Steve on Saturday. Used manual most the way. Things I discovered.

    1. All audio fading in and out? Maybe 3 Bluetooth items is too much. Will check this week. Note to self check battery terminals too!
    2. The seat is a pain in the almost ass, upper thighs.
    3. The windscreen is about 3” too short
    4. Goldwing Nav sucks

    I stayed dry the entire trip so that was great! However when I got back and washed her up I noticed the cover over the emergency key slot was missing? Dang it!

    John - What windscreen did you have on your F6b?

    On my old F6B I had the two piece baggersheild. I may go with Slipstream on the new 2020 Wing.

    JackB - Agree, sir. I was just curious as to which shield John ran on his prior F6b...to get an idea of the type of coverage he's looking for in his new ride.

    So my thought process hasn’t change much since the F6B. The bike looks the best with a small screen, but small screens are worthless in rain or long rides. Baggershield could change height in a matter of 2 minutes or less. But now we have an adjustable height screen and the normal stock is just a few inches off perfect!
