    1 Heli bars: I was thinking I could pull the bars back to relax the reach;
    2 Ultimate seat (King): I know the RDL is much loved, but Ultimate is a 4 hour ride up 95 here in FL. The King moves me back an inch or two.
    3 Ridesmith? or Kury mini boards?
    4 Kury Ergo III or Rivco?
    5 I have a Bagger shield, but think I need a bit taller for a long ride. Maybe Klock 16"?
    6 A really hot chick to sit behind me and .....

    I'm 6'2"
    You can get pull back for a lot less $ with risers and it helped my feel. Not that the Heli Bars are not a fine addition but changing grip angle and firming up control is foremost I think.
    I tried the Ultimate and did not notice much improvement over stock which I have come to like (don't think you will realize two more inches of room, the King eliminates the angle/slope of the stock seat which I sit on anyway so the rearward part is about the same.) . If alone I can move my rear to the back seat to stretch out a bit for a rest and change of leg position.
    The pegs I have also decided I like, for sure do not want reduced cornering/lean ability. Installed the pucks to protect from wear.
    Have the Ergos and they are OK. Have not tried others but any change in leg position is a good thing
    I wish you were closer to me you could try out the Klock Works I have in my spare/junk pile. Mastad for me.

    Thanks for your thoughts. I happen to own a scoot which can transport me to anywhere I want to go. Maybe a trip to G Breeze would be a fun ride...

    Would be happy to meet and ride with you. We do have a few nice roads around here. I'm also planning a trip westward in the summer like yourself. Was in the planning when this F6B rally came about so will try and add that meet to my trip. So much out that way I wish to see and ride. Give me a yell if up this way.

    TPMS is a luxury. The B requires you to do a burpee to check the rear. Great for the health conscious but I try to avoid much time with my knees on the concrete.
    Bluetooth is all the rage but I prefer a hard-wired system that doesn't rely on a phone.

    This is the upgrade to the original, there were some lessons learned that were fixed in V2. I've used Orange on the B and my previous ST1300 with no issues at all.
    V2 has battery monitoring and lots of other useful functions. Also nice that replacement sensors are easily available now.

    Considering your humid location a beaded seat cover might be nice. I can ride all day on mine with no sweat issues.

    Thoughts on seat

    JerryC, I am a big guy(no butt left) with 2 spine surgeries. That lead me to the F6B and to the decision to buy the best seat I have ever owned. A Hartco. Those folks are in Florida and will custom make the seat to fit your needs. Well worth a call.Talk with Mark. Good luck. You will absolutely love the B. F6Broy

    Will definitely check this out. I was thinking Ultimate, which is just down the road, but will talk to Hartco first. THX

    Not sure of the size, was drilled so to be lowered one inch so maybe 16 and 15 now. Original Owner put it on. It was not a good shield at all. Buffeting was terrible on the lowest setting and not much better up an inch, not worth boxing up to sell. Maybe someday I will cut the bottom off and bolt it onto the stock shield and make my own two piece shield.
