My friend has a Roadmaster. We switched rides for a few short miles. He didn't like my shorter windshield, and I didn't like all the noise. I almost bought a Chieftan when looking at bikes. I'm extremely happy with what I have. Just did a 3,700 mile trip. Added Bikers Friend luggage that I took off for the week. I have Rivco Aero pegs that I barely used, and a Butt Buffer seat pad that I might sell because I never needed it. Coming home, I was so in tune with this bike that I felt like riding straight through. I used common sense and stopped for the night, but this is a highway loving machine...not surprised at all that it's still #1. I imagine a full wing would be more awesome....somehow.
I like the 6 without the extra's. Personal opinion from a single rider.
“Gibraltar” 2016 white deluxe has been sold.
1. I considered a used full Wing for a short period of time; there are many out there for sale for $10k or less. However, I am 6'1", 230 lbs...when I sit in a full Wing's seat, I feel like I am in my car with the driver's seat too far forward. The F6B seat is ergonomically perfect for a guy my size.I imagine a full wing would be more awesome....somehow.

2. I agree 100%. Simple, easy and cheap to maintain. Plenty of power with essentially perfect reliability.

How do the Indians handle? I test rode a few recently and they just did not go into the curves like the F6B. The F6B is just so easy to lay over in the curves. You have to force the Indian and it seems sluggish by comparison.
