wind

I have to look underneath to figure out how the dzus fasteners hold it up.

They don't, the dzus fasteners only hold the removable front part of the two piece belly pan covering the oil filter on. Lower OEM tupperware nuts hold the belly pan on.
Tip: wear leather glove when installing the SS belly pan it has sharp edges and can cut you very easy(don't ask).

That makes sense.
Thanks for the explanation guys.

I forgot about that Mr. Big, those edges are sharp!

Speed up a little. It cuts the wind better. Mine seems fine. No different than any other bike. I think better than my 9.

Yep, I run the same one, easy to install and ya got to love the dzus fasteners for quick accesses to the oil filter

Ah, those are sweet. I removed my pan when the screws stripped out. Think I can find those fasteners at ACE?

Yup... it blows me around a bit more than I expected for as heavy as the bike is... but I guess if it can blow cars and big trucks around, a motorcycle is no match. Although you may need to correct for the wind, it should never feel unsettled or unstable.

I have yet to wrap my mind around how a belly pan helps, but I accept the fact that wind dynamics are extremely complex. When wind blows around skyscrapers, it's not so much the direct force of the wind that causes them to oscillate back and forth, it's the pressure differential created by eddy currents. I'd love to see the F6 in wind tunnel testing both with and without a belly pan.

Depends on your ACE; unlike Lowes or Home Depot I believe each one can be different.

Of course... the internet will have any form of these that you can dream of

I am with srt8 on how the belly pan helps in wind.
I am looking into the pan more for engine protection.
It is semi tire blowing season starting up here.
I have seen cars hitting the carcasses of the tires several times already.
Hopefully I will never run over one.
More importantly if I do,I hope I can keep the bike on two wheels.
