I guess my F6 is "Normal"

Welcome to heaven, at around 10k, mileage went up for most of us.

Normal for an F6B maybe but this bike is not normal at all. It is the cream of the crop as far as I am concerned. I just came back from a 13 hour each way trip to Panama City Beach and I am more in love now than ever.

I just went over 12,000 miles since the last week of March.

The bike and my new cruise control on my 13 F6B performed flawlessly. I could have taken a nap on my babies back if it wasn't for the other idiots on the highway.

Still obsessed with my new toy!!!

I too am having a blast with the F6B. I was on a long road trip last month with my old "94" GL1500. Went into a dealership in Ogden, Utah. Just looking. It was a Saturday. I was just staring at this red & black bike. I had seen them in the magazines, but never in person. The owner of the dealership was in on a Saturday and he approached me after about 25 minutes of me drooling on this bike. He asked me if I wanted to take it for a ride. Of course I said yes. I couldn't believe what I was feeling when riding it! When I came back we talked numbers. I road in with a "94" with 150,000 miles on it and I road out with a 2013 F6B with 2.5 miles on it from my road test. So the first thing to go was the stock windshield. I ordered a 14" Flare from Klock Werks in South Dakota. They shipped it to one of my next destinations, Palm Springs CA. It was there waiting for me when I checked in. Easy install. They are sweet. I am now in the process of gathering stock GL1800 cruise control parts from eBay. Everything is available, from the new right handle bar control switches to the servo/actuator to the module and stock wiring harnesses. I am only into the parts for $350 including a factory GL1800 service manual complete with the electrical trouble shooting section. There is detailed information regarding the pin identifications of the (2) 26 pin connectors on the module as well as the servo/actuator. I'm looking forward to doing a clean install this winter with no after-market looking controls and no butchered wiring. The on-off switch for the reverse will be used for the 4-way flashers. Both switches use 4 wires. I will hand paint the control housing to omit the "reverse" wording. Should be a fun job. I will try to post some pictures. I'm new to the site, so I'm not sure if I will have the access to do so. Thanks for listening!
