wind up pantlegs

Post by doodaday »



Does anyone else think too much wind blows up pantlegs on 2018 Goldwing. If so, is there a solution that does not involve hip boots or inside the boot with pantlegs.Thanks .My # 1 complaint with the wing .

Perhaps some of the aftermarket lower wind deflectors?

I may have to give the wind wing lowers a try.

Thanks to Rambozo for the reply. My manners are suffering in this shut down.

I ride with a pair of Diamond Gusset jeans that have a built in velcro closure at the bottom to make your jeans tight around your boots so that won't happen.

Thanks jimmyd, I have Diamond Gusset jeans but have not tried the ones with velco closure.That will do the trick.

You can get some Velcro straps one or two inches wide and strap them around the lower leg area to keep wind or bugs from blowing up your pants legs. I never had a problem but the suggestion came to mind after you described your issue. JMHO

I use snow gaiters during the winter months. Excellent for keeping out drafts.
