    A year ago I had sent an email to Honda USA telling them that I love F6b but going away from the brand due to lack of reverse on a 800+ lb bike. They responded back saying they understand my concern. I’m excited to see that have a reverse option now. And it’s fu**ing 1inch more taller than 2013 F6b. SOB. This kind of sux for me. Even at 26 inch seat height my HD is still lil taller. My ideal seat height wud be 25 inch. I’m still riding on my original HD seat. Lol. Would luv to have a comfortable plush seat but they all raise me up by 1 or more inches. I’ve had 3 cross country trips on HD with factory seat. It’s comfortable but not ultimate seat comfortable. Hope u understand what I mean.

    There is no way I can drop down 2018 f6b to 26 inch seat height. It just changes the riding dynamics.
    Two things I have for you.1 There is a company that sells a piece that is bolt on that changes
    the tail section of the frame of your Harley that sets you down in the frame and not on it.
    2 If you do want a Wing you can go to Lowerwing.com and get their ,lowering piece
    for the rear.It will cut down some on cornering, put no more than the Street glide that I had .
    Also a different seat for wing.
    So there is always a way to get what you want if you have the cash.
