Possibly new I the F6B club

[mohnolith]

It looks like I'm getting rid of the VTX. I found a 2013 F6B at a great price, and I'm going to look at it tomorrow. My question to you all is, I'm a big guy (6'2" and 290lbs), and I've heard conflicting stories about how well this bike handles us "big-boned" fellas. Thoughts?

[Dirtstiff's F6B]

There are some big and bigger guys here, very happy with the fit. But like your VTX and mine, the F6 also will take some tweaking with mods to make your fit. Don't they all.
I'm 230 at 6', 35" inseam and I've made mine very comfortable. It was not, bone stock.

YMMV,

Jim

I'm a little out of touch, about how much is a great price?

I'm 5'11" 315 and the B fits pretty good. I also had a VTX. It fits a little different, but otherwise no major changes from my VTX. I think a different seat is the only major change I plan.

Big guy like you needs a couch rocket like this!

I,m 6ft4 380lbs. A must for me was Hwy pegs and a Masstad shield. An the bike is just as good as any V-tiwn I have owned.(BETTER) as far as Handling an Power.

$12,500 with only 715 miles on it. The guy hurt his back and can't ride it

What kind of seat are you getting? I have had a Mustang Racing seat on my last 2 bikes. They have to be the most comfortable seats I've ever rode on.

I still have an '08 Fatboy that my father left me when he passed. I am getting the F6B, because I want something I can put a lot of miles on. I'll never get rid of his bike, but I also don't want to wear it out...it is a Harley after all.

The bike handles just fine for the XXL crowd in my opinion. I too am 6'2" and 290.
I did add highway pegs and an ultimate drivers backrest plus a F4 Custom shield to enhance the experience !

[Navvet]

I'm somewhere between 6"6" and 6'8" .... 300 Lbs (sometimes) ......

I added a tall windshield, Airhawk, Ergo II's, and Roadsmiths comfort controls .....

All of that makes this the best bike I have owned in 41 years of riding ....
