It is my understanding from a very reliable source, that Honda assembly for Goldwings, F6B, etc. is returning to production in Tennessee in 2015...The local government made them a huge tax incentive/deal to move there.......Guess we will see what the future brings...
Kinda wondering if the overall market for such machines is actually right here in the USA anyway. Why make 'em 1/2 way around the world just to ship most of 'em here?
I can see why they wanted Maryville for cars,,, Its all about the $$$$$.
So,,, If moving to Tennessee,,, there might not be a 2014 F6B,,, Just like there aren't any 2011 Goldwings,
I looked my shipping box and in read, Made in Ohio. Never made them in the USA. lol...

If I can't fix it, I will fix it so no one can fix it.
My 2007 Goldwing built in Ohio had a much better build quality than my 2012 built in Japan.
An old buddy of mine, that used to work for Honda, was told that they had some issues getting the production up and right for a short while after they moved back to Japan, especially on early production runs on the 2012 GW's...Don't know it to be true but perhaps it might explain your build issues compared to the Ohio unit???
