Hey guys just had the F6B out riding the back roads over the weekend , normally I ride sport bikes or supermoto bikes but want to get some seat time on the big honking sport bike ... LOL
For a big girl she handles pretty good , I was dragging pegs and have to get use to the bikes lean angles ... Got a little carried away , the bike got some respect holding its own on the back roads even managed to out preform a few of the sport bikes ... Think it was the rider ... LOL
I'm a goldwing guy now , just have to add a few mods like exhaust and do something about the red ...

Hey Mad,
I Just traded in a Concours 14 for my Bumble Bee Yellow 6, so I understand where your coming from. It never ceases to amaze me how agile 800+lbs can be!

Once ya go Wing theres not turning back!:icon_lol:

I was actually thinking change the ride compartment area to black and may not bother me as much , the bike performance and got a great deal on a 2013 , Honda's are suppose to be red so I'm ok with that . I had a yellow fatboy years ago my girl called it the taxi … LOL
Never thought I would ever have a goldwing , I don't think I would ever do the full wing , I have seen a black full wing with a tail conversion and that was a sharp looking machine , I may just do exhaust I don't want to get to carried away as I usually do with my bikes .
I wish honda would have done a power windshield like on the connie 14 that would have been awesome , I like the low wind screen on the local roads but at highway speed the wind beats me up being a taller rider , I may pick up a full wing wind screen and try it out .

Get the adjustable Baggershield. I am constantly going from "high" to "low" about every day.

On another thread, Phantom had an idea about making a clip-on windscreen that integrates with the stock shorty. I think that's the best idea out there, I would love it. I'm on the lookout for some mounting hardware to get it done McGyver-style, if anyone finds something that would work, hook us up!

Consider the Madstad windshield. Lots of us on the forum have them and are more than satisfied. Some don't care for the look. Others of us think that the technical and aggressive look is great. They are a Forum sponsor and have a link on the home page.

The camera is the garmin virb elite, it has gps and wifi. It also works with the new zumo 590lm. The bike handles like a dream.
