Does the wind blow you around on the F6B?
My F6B seems to get a little strange when its windy.

Crosswinds can be a handfull but generally I find the bike to handle the wind fine.

A little,but nowhere near as bad as my Yamaha Royal Star Venture was.

The B has a lot of mass. Also, cooler air is more dense and will have a greater effect that warm air.

A belly pan will help.

Why does this help?
I am not familiar with this.

Yes, my F6B blows around more than my Valk EVER did. (Cross winds) I think it is because of all the Tupperware, which makes it more of a solid mass. The Valk does not have all the plastic so the wind can blow thru the bike somewhat. Plus the fairing on the F6B adds to it also I believe.

I think it handles fine. Had a BMW K1200GT that was like a sail, and in highway traffic turbulence, the F6 handles way better than a bike with a fork mounted fairing such as an electra glide or a victory.

I agree 100% although with me, 400lb on a 700lb+ scoot, I have over 1/2 ton of rolling mass, it takes a really big wind to effect me and the F6B.

+1.I ride in the Northern Nevada high desert and wind is something we deal with more often then not.I can't explain why it helps but it did on my F6B along with the peace of mind that the bottom of the engine is protected.
