Does the belly pan really help?
I was thinking of getting one to protect the engine anyway. Are they hard to take of to change the oil?

Even if it's in my mind, it helps in the wind. If you get the right belly pan, the front part is easily removable for oil changes. It is attached with dzus fasteners and I use a dime to release them. 5 seconds max. You won't be sorry.

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

Have you adjusted the preload on your rear shock ?

Mine does ok most of the time,but I have been caught out in a side gust a couple of times. Thinking to try the belly pan as I have seen countless times on this forum that it helps along with the underside protection..

hifllyer,
What exact belly pan do you have?

[BIGLRY]

I think it handles fine. 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.

Thank you.
Was it difficult to install?

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

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

They don't . The front piece is dzussed to the main part. The main part uses existing bolts. Only the front piece is removed to change oil
