A year ago I had sent an email to Honda USA telling them that I love F6b but going away from the brand due to lack of reverse on a 800+ lb bike. They responded back saying they understand my concern. I’m excited to see that have a reverse option now. And it’s fu**ing 1inch more taller than 2013 F6b. SOB. This kind of sux for me. Even at 26 inch seat height my HD is still lil taller. My ideal seat height wud be 25 inch. I’m still riding on my original HD seat. Lol. Would luv to have a comfortable plush seat but they all raise me up by 1 or more inches. I’ve had 3 cross country trips on HD with factory seat. It’s comfortable but not ultimate seat comfortable. Hope u understand what I mean.

There is no way I can drop down 2018 f6b to 26 inch seat height. It just changes the riding dynamics.
The new 2018 has a much narrower profile around the fairing and seat area which you may find makes it much easier to get your feet down at stops..I would wait and sit on one as soon as you can and see how it feels...I am short myself and find the Mustang seat works great for my 2013 although it is a little wide at the front...I had a couple Victory's with higher seats, but they were much narrower in the area next to the tank and fit me great!!....Ride safe
