Looking at buying a new GW but once I rode the F6B that's what I want! How does the F6B work as a 2up touring bike? Wife likes to go part of the time so I would like her to be comfortable and enjoy not be miserable. Love this forum tons of great info...
Thanks
It's perfect. It's three hours of driving and then a fuel stop, walk around, drink, eat, repeat. My wife loves the higher backrest much better than the butt chock. She is quite content on this bike.

My wife hadn't ridden in years because of the Harley vibrations. She absolutely loves the F6B. She's with me so much now I'm thinking about trading for another Harley...BSEG.
that's funny!!Originally Posted by hoglaw
You guys are not going to believe this, but the wife says the stock seat is by far the most comfortable he has ever sat on---and she has sat on a number of Saddleman, Corbin, Mustang and Drag Specialities seats. After having the Mustang tuck and roll on for a few weeks, SHE IS TICKED OFF AND WON'T GET OVER IT. She says the stock is much better. She wants me to switch them out when she rides and you guys know what kind of job that is. But I am having a hard time convincing her that the $540 add on is better than stock. Go figure---this has never happened on ANY other bike.

Had a similar experience. Rode over to Daytona and tried an Ultimate seat. I liked it, but she didn't...so I saved $1000.You guys are not going to believe this, but the wife says the stock seat is by far the most comfortable he has ever sat on---and she has sat on a number of Saddleman, Corbin, Mustang and Drag Specialities seats.

Ditto, my wife enjoys being a passenger on this bike. Very comfortable stock seat for us. Wouldn't change a thing. I have read and heard that some co pilots that are used to a standard wing, prefer the F6 seating and say it's roomier.
My wife says that the stock seat is the most comfortable she has sat on. I watch my tire pressure and keep the preload down for her. We like it and have done several 300 plus mile days.
Passenger backrest extension is a must! One of our members sells them on e bay.
Other than that a taller windshield and Baker Hand Wings.
(wings reduce buffeting on passenger)
I do have the stock seat... but added a taller shield, and hand wings... passenger floorboards and backrest riser. And now my GF gets so comfortable on the back that she d*mn near falls asleep! How's that for an endorsement?
When she's happy, I'm happy.
So now it's like Stroguy said "...three hours of driving and then a fuel stop, walk around, drink, eat, repeat."
