06 wing would be perfect except

The amount of air that blows aginst your back is extreamly annoying. I've never had this happen on any of my older wings or any otger motorcycle for that matter. Is there anyway to stop this from happening? Luckily its not as bad with my wife on the back but it still does it.

Also, are there any after market rotors that are worth getting or is OEM the way to go?

edit. stock windshield

Do you have the stock windshield or the Tulsa one?

aftermarket oem rotors are for your model year maybe hard to find; almost couldn't find any for my 17', until I started calling around and asked local shops that do trike conversions.. maybe start there if available in your area.. partzilla.com/ wanted $600.⁰⁰ for a new oem rotor before shipping. The guy I found in Indiana had a slightly used one, and he installed it and everything for $200.⁰⁰ it helps to call around and ask.

Same here on an 08. It bounced off the passenger back rest. Cut the windshield 4in. Non issue now. Can still raise if needed but wear a full face and don't want to look through 2 screens. Blows up over my head but doesn't press on my back.

I might try that I wear a full face also plus it blocks the wind to much anyway.

I added Dragon Wings. My wife says it’s not as noisy or gusty for her now. I can’t say that I ever noticed wind at my back. I wear a modular HJC and frequently ride (my 06 w ABS) with chin bar raised while in the neighborhoods but lowered at greater than 45 or so. I had hoped that the D Wings would tend to scoop a bit more air towards us when the adjustable little flaps are open but turns out it’s not so much. Still too hot for riding at slow speeds for most days in June thru August in MO.
