I'm envious... my red 2013 is still on a truck somewhere between Kansas and California.
I'm really hoping to see it before the next weekend (not likely). I have Friday and Monday off, and I'd love to spend a four-day-weekend on the bike.

Sweet, thanks for the fix yellow rex. The name is appropriate. I call mine Godzilla.

JMartin - ha, patience is a virtue. I once did a trade with a guy up in NY. He shipped a Sprint ST out to me and the shipper would call me every other day telling me where he was. I was like a kid on Christmas waiting for it. Hopefully it will come by Friday. I read the thread on your rental.

I might look to add some highway pegs and maybe a Vista throttle lock before I go ride on a weekend trip. Weather is nice here so I will probably take the Interceptor out tomorrow. It is feeling neglected.

won't be able to back out of an incline.

It's heavy, but most of the weight is down low. If you've got boots with a good tread on them you can lean a little weight over on to one side while holding the bars to dig your foot in a little harder. If your foot slips you'll need to be quick to get it back in place to keep the bike up, but if it falls over it'll probably just land on the generous tip-over bars.
OTOH, your original idea is best, this method will work in a pinch though.
Warm enough to ride here but the roads are a salty mess! Still piles of it at intersections after crazy ice event a week ago.
Have a blast!

Ha, you are quite helpful. I like it better than the stock one I rode on a test ride. Trying to decide if I need something more or if it is good enough. I need to ride some more to decide.

I'm 5'4 and know the Mustang seat is lower but I found the OEM seat pretty comfy and didn't think it was too wide so I'm gonna keep it. I also saw the Rivco Flip Out highway pegs online and really like the looks so that might be a future purchase. I asked the wife about floorboards and she said she was happy with the pegs or putting her feet on the crashbars, go figure.

hello Sharkey. I am 5'4" as well. Just as an idea, it is easier to move the f6b while standing beside it than after climbing aboard. Fortunately I haven't needed to yet.
