A GW seat will not fit on F6B. Without even looking under the seat to see what needs to be changed, the first problem would be that the rear deck cover would have to be removed and replaced with ???.

The seat, or should I say seating position, is one of the reasons I chose a F6B.The cheaper price, the styling also played a role, but the regular trunked version of the GoldWing has me sitting in a more bunched up to the tank feeling. I'm perfectly happy with the Corbin seat I put on.

The riding position on my 2012 GL1800 with the MBL kit was the main reason I traded it. The F6B is much better.

The f6b seat is about 3 inches wider than the gw one the bikes have the same frame but the seat pans are different and have different spacers so they work with the handles properly
I asked my Honda Sales manager about this a cpl months back, he said because the way the seat tapers and the side bag release handles wouldnt line up and work.
Hadnt done the side by side, just taking his word since he has upgraded a cpl of seats on the floor model F6B's
No it will not work! The seat pans are totally I own two Goldwing and a F6b the pan on the B tapers at the rear and has more
bolts to hold it on. Have you ever had the seat of your F6 if so did you look at the bottom of the set pan?
I will post a pic of a Goldwing seat pan in a few days when I go out to the garage if you like.
I realize that the F6B hand rails would not fit using a goldwing seat. And the two seats differ in the rear.
But, I gotta believe that the frame/mounting holes are the same. That is, the four main mounts - forget the two rear ones. I have mounted a goldwing backrest that uses those four bolts. I use it on long trips.
So it seems that a goldwing seat would set on an F6B frame and bolt on, and leave a gap at the rear. Will it do that? If not, why not?
This is just a curiosity itch that needs scratching at this point. Thanks.
