New owner looking at options

[zekepa]

New owner as of yesterday. Picked up a 2013 black standard model. Went back and forth between the deluxe and standard. In the end it came down to the price difference being to much for what I was really gaining. The dealer was $1500 different between the two models. Honda has $1000 in free accessories for buying an F6B so I went with the heated hand grips, center stand, rear carrier brackets plus a bunch of the lower priced accessories for the saddlebags. I figure I will end up putting a different seat on anyways so the passenger back rest wasn't a big deal for me. I think I really wanted the self cancelling turn signals as I'm terrible about not tuning them off myself. I do notice them much quicker on this bike vs the VTX1800 with them down on the gas tank.

Ordered a bagger adjustable shield last night.

Looking for more goodies I'd like to add.

Looking at the instructions for the heated grips, looks like that will be a winter project, so I have time to collect accessories and put them all on at the same time.

Love the bike so far.

I got mine last Saturday from DFW Honda. I would like the Crobin Smuggler Seat for my bike. Its a really nice ride isn't it.

If your forgetting the blinker, your new best friend should be the "Blinker Buddy". Had one on my Valk. A friend added a second one to the passenger seat so his wife could have the bennift of the Binker Buddy.

Tell me more about this $1,000 in free accessories thing. Was that a dealer offered incentive or from Honda. I just picked mine up a couple weeks ago and there was no mention of it. If it's available then I can surely spend it.

That's why I bought mine in June. Didn't want to have to worry how to spend the $1K. Happens every time I purchase a new car too.

HUH??? I'm trying to figure out how this is a bad thing?
