    Wonder if there will be Switchback turn signal options.

    Also see people buying the bagger version and putting aftermarket trunks on it.

    Thanks for the pictures.

    Heck or, you can buy the Tour version and remove the trunk. It's a little expensive, but buying the Bagger version , you could buy the Honda trunk kit in their accessories.

    I was aiming for a trunk with more room.

    I have gone the small trunk and small saddlebag route before and don't want to repeat that decision.

    With the new closer fitting rear Tupperware, it maybe hard for aftermarket suppliers to make a hidden hitch (if the frame can support one).

    It would be very hard to imagine Honda engineering the bike where it made it impossible to put a hitch on. I'm sure vendors will figure it out. But it does look like it would be difficult to make it stealth like it can be on our older models.

    Two things stand out...

    ..from a styling point of view. The instrument panel/dash board seems quite high. This (to my eyes) takes away from the low and long bagger look that makes the F6B look so good. And from the rear, the bags look added on, as opposed to the integrated look of the F6B. Don't get me wrong, I sure like the new bike, but it does look more like the BMW than I would have liked.. just like the 1600B, it's a bit too much "sport tourer" than bagger.

    Just noticed, different tires on the Wing, vs the 'Stones on the Tour.

    Thanks for the pic's...

    ...Circle-5

    Looks like the moved the coolant reserve bottle away from that vulnerable spot under the bike. And seems that you can adjust the linkage for the rear shock. Don't know off hand if that's available for our current F6B's
