Would you trade up for better paint???

[opas ride]

I didn't take any chances and had mine custom painted Brandywine Red Clearcoat before I picked it up last September...Looks great and if, and when, I can figure out to post a picture I will.....Did not like the factory colors anyhow and my wife picked the new color.....

I wouldn't trade for paint issues. My paint is not what I would expect on a bike less than a year old, but it is not horrible either. My problem is that if the company isn't willing to fix a known paint issue, what will they do with any other issues that arise? I am thinking that if I trade it will be for another brand. I enjoy my F6b but have no confidence in Honda in backing their product, which is why I thought I bought a Honda to begin with. At least dealing with HD you know you are gonna bend over.

[Yeahoo Whoyah]

Nope.
If I was concerned about the paint I would much rather just have the bike done with a custom paint scheme other than take a hit on a trade in.

Ditto.

No paint issues here. The bike runs beautifully, no need to change.

No issues with my paint.

Good coat of "Black Box" wax and spray on clear coat works perfectly. No soft paint.

w I'm really confused!
How do you trade up from an F6B???

I think me means if Honda came out with a better painted one.

One of the best paint products I used was the 3M Imperial Hand Glaze. It takes out small scratches and swirl marks. It has no wax or UV protectants in it, so you will need to seal after. But its truly amazing on a black bike. Have to get it at your local paint shop.

I would trade up for ABS and/or cruise control.

Somebody up thread mentioned a 6th gear for fuel economy. Does anybody have a guesstimate on how much improvement you could reasonably expect? I'm thinking a similar ratio differential to that between 4th and 5th.

I would add stuff, but not trade up. I have too many upgrades on this bike now to be bothered with doing it again. If I want another color, I'll just have it painted.

No....But then I am not having any problem with paint. Spray on bike wash ,shammie and some chrome cleaner on pipes and Done...
