    New to the F6B Forum

    Hi Folks,

    I have owned a 2014 Honda F6C Valkyrie for a year and love it so much I ordered an 2015 Blue F6B for my Birthday.
    I always enjoy asking this question of LONG TIME Riders / Old Timers:
    If money were no object what are the best upgrades to the F6B front to back - stem to stern - top to bottom.
    I like personalizing my rides and I always prioritize my upgrades / cash flow for my motorized hobbies.
    My Valkyrie really didn't need upgrading - it is an amazing ride - yes I know - it could be even more amazing.
    but
    I want to put my upgrade dollars into the F6B and leave the F6C more or less stock.
    Thanks in advance!
    Happy Riding
    and hey - who lives in the lower Alabama area?

    Welcome! I'm over to the east, just outside Pensacola.

    Upgrades to the F6B....

    First seat, then Windscreen.
    After that, Traxxion suspension.

    If you've not read the thread for new F6B owners - I encourage it:

    So, out of curiosity, what's the replacement seat of choice for the F6B?

    The stock seat seems pretty good, unlike Harley's OEM which needs to be changed immediately.

    Want to collect some opinions, just in case I decide to upgrade - thanks!

    Ultimate would be my first choice and has been... Hartco makes a seat I hear is good but have not sat or rode one...both sponsors so that's a +.....

    Just a heads up.....Ultimate makes two models for the F6.....Mid Rider & King. They are very different. The King version is widely popular, the Mid Rider IMO not so much.

    There is no better seat for distance than the Russell Day Long - but if your short aka vertically challenged - and already on your toes - it would be too much.
    If your bike were converted to a trike it wouldn't matter.
