    If I am riding aggressive, I'm usually scooted a bit forward and will adjust weight distribution with legs. Usually, having to think about this, I keep my arms relaxed but with elbows more upright.

    I came from riding a Hurricane to my F6B. On the sport bike I had a habit when my toes were pointed down over the front of the peg.
    With the F6 first thing I noticed was my toes touching the pavement. Corrected foot position then started getting to the pegs.
    I figure past that is going to be hard parts and I dont want to get to that if I dont have to.
    If you touch the bags I really think you are going to not have any tire contact meaning you are sliding personally at that point (OH NO!)
    Still have my Hurricane,when I want to get to that and warp speed,I can revert..although I dont ride it as much since I've had my F6B...
    Matter of fact I was going to take it up to the mountains this morning and noticed in my preflight that my tags were expired....so now I had to ride the 'big' Honda..Life is tough

    My sneakers found out the hard way how low she will go...
    I met a guy last week on a ride and noticed how much higher the goldwing was from f6b
    was a mid 2000 but it was 1 to 2" higher?

    You learn fast on this bike, when you want to attack the curves, you'd better get your toes on the pegs .

    Check the rear suspension setting

    I was scraping more than I expected to. A thread on this site recommended I adjust the rear suspension. It came from the factory at the lowest setting, like zero, and I moved it to a mid setting. Makes a big diff.

    Took the bike on a long ride to Calistoga today and I am amazed how nimble and powerful this f6b is...Can some tell me how to adjust the ride to medium?
