They have their place, but as I said in an earlier post, they're horrible as commuters.

Oh, I don't know about that. I commuted 40 miles into downtown Boston for a number of years on the Wing and and found it more enjoyable than the the same commute on my cruiser.

Boston is a long way from Texas. What kills you here on a wing, is that the traffic barely moves, and it's incredibly hot. The full fairing and lowers means you get exactly zero airflow over your baking body. I never put my windsheild on in the Summer unless I'm riding 100 miles or more for that reason. I can only imagine it with lowers.

I can see how commuting on the Wing wouldn't be so bad in a cooler climate, or in an area where traffic wasn't so backed up during rush hour.
