It's feels almost cold at stops compared to a Harley.

The F6C is a far superior machine in almost every way--not just with the heat. It corners, brakes better. The lighter weight makes it a lot easier to move around and the 5 MPG more doesn't hurt. I bought a Boulevard Windscreen and it is just as effective as the stock shield and fairing on the B. Add my MRA spoiler and I got a ton of wind protection with a clean, open look up front. It is a true "Power Cruiser" and the B is a "Heavy Weight Tour Machine"
Where the B has the definite advantage is long stretches of riding where comfort is needed. Another area is aftermarket support. The C has NO---and I mean ZERO AFTERMARKET SUPPORT from anybody except Corbin. You can't get average stuff such as bars (cables are custom cut), exhaust, ANYTHING!!!!---Wanted to get Avon pegs to match the grips and they don't even make pegs to fit the C.
Not really fair to compare as they are 2 different bikes, but I never noticed heat issues on the F6B, either.

The only solution is $1800 Corbin hard bags, Honda leather bags for a little more than half that (what is on my bike) and generic bolt on universal fit. I also have a rack for a T Bag, so storage is not a problem. I hate that the bags cover the rear wheel and single side swing arm.

Old Ryder, glad you found the bike you like! Me too!

I guess heat problems are in the eye of the beholder. I just completed a 2000 mile trek up the coast and around the St. Lawrence and the Gaspe Peninsula. It was in the mid forties in the morning and sometimes hit seventy by mid afternoon. I thought the B did a great job and often wished for more heat.
@Old Ryder - I bought torque Loops and the slip on pipes from Jimmy at Torque master - they are wonderful sounding together.
I bought the large OEM windshield from my Honda dealer - I am not sure if that is what you have - but mine is perfect also
corbin glass saddle bags are nice but $1800.00
corbin saddle - just completes the look
I just installed a www.lowerwings.com
1 1/4" lowering bracket on my new F6C and slipped the front forks 5/8" and I am loving the ride and now feel firmly planted at stops.
The two bikes are really different to me - I like to think of my B as a Cadillac and my C as a MOPAR muscle car. GRUNT is good.
