    How does the F6B work for 2-up touring?

    Looking at buying a new GW but once I rode the F6B that's what I want! How does the F6B work as a 2up touring bike? Wife likes to go part of the time so I would like her to be comfortable and enjoy not be miserable. Love this forum tons of great info...

    Thanks

    It's perfect. It's three hours of driving and then a fuel stop, walk around, drink, eat, repeat. My wife loves the higher backrest much better than the butt chock. She is quite content on this bike.

    My wife hadn't ridden in years because of the Harley vibrations. She absolutely loves the F6B. She's with me so much now I'm thinking about trading for another Harley...BSEG.

    Ditto, my wife enjoys being a passenger on this bike. Very comfortable stock seat for us. Wouldn't change a thing. I have read and heard that some co pilots that are used to a standard wing, prefer the F6 seating and say it's roomier.

    My wife says that the stock seat is the most comfortable she has sat on. I watch my tire pressure and keep the preload down for her. We like it and have done several 300 plus mile days.

    Passenger backrest extension is a must! One of our members sells them on e bay.

    Other than that a taller windshield and Baker Hand Wings.

    I do have the stock seat... but added a taller shield, and hand wings... passenger floorboards and backrest riser. And now my GF gets so comfortable on the back that she d*mn near falls asleep! How's that for an endorsement?
    When she's happy, I'm happy.

    So now it's like Stroguy said "...three hours of driving and then a fuel stop, walk around, drink, eat, repeat."

    I think Steve0080 is close to selling the last ones he has on hand... he said these will be the last ones, but idk, he may have to fire the kiln back up

    It is always possible...but this time would require some pre-sales....
