Hello Everyone,
I have done it and would like to join the group as a very happy F6B owner. Dian and I went to Russellville and picked up a signature series F6B. They have very good pricing and the staff was very straight forward. There were no suprises. I was going after a Black Deluxe, but decided on the Uranium Green. I know, I know... this color won't appeal to everyone, but I really like it! The best part is the part you all already know. What a machine! I couldn't believe how light it seems to be for such a big bike. I have been riding a Valkyrie for several years and didn't think that it could get any better until this. Wow!
I look forward to listening to any wisdom on the board and putting my $.02 in now and then.
Thanks in advance,
Blotar

Welcome from another Texan with a Signature Series! :yes: (Illusion blue) The Green does have an appeal, and it plays with the black quite well!!!

I for one love the Uranium Green, if I had made the trip to HOR it would have been really tough to choose between that and the burnt orange that they do.

Welcome to the fold!

Green looks good on you. I like it! You are one step ahead on making your F6B your special own. I'm a Blue color guy. Enjoy your new ride.

Welcome to the forum and the F6B. That is a great color. Bikes in my opinion should be a little crazy lol, that's why Harley does so well I think with all there crazy paint schemes... Enjoy many happy safe miles...

I really enjoyed all the comments from everyone! I run Darkside w/my Valkyrie and may put another ziex (Falken Ziex ZE912) I absolutely love this tire on my Valkyrie. (205-60-16)
it is not edgy like the Triple Tread. No muscling into the turns and no premature front tire wear from too many twisties.
I am hoping to go darkside as soon as practicable with my F6B. I may not like it as much as I do on the Valkyrie, but I have to find out. I haven't even taken a side cover off yet. I am currently preparing to rebuild a front brake system on another Valk that I have, a work in progress, someone put Dot 5 in the resevoir and cause a big problem. Total teardown is in order and about two hundred dollars in cost. I am not looking forward to this, but it shouldnt be too frustrating. I look forward to more stuff from the F6B Forum.
Be Safe,
Blotar
