Almost 23K? Check:icon_doh:

Still, I pondered this direction myself. There is a Honda dealer in Indiana that is doing similar, but asking more I believe. I said asking, I didn't negotiate in that direction. One of the reasons I like the F6B is the seating ergonomics compared to the Wing. Of course there is also the $7K difference in price compared to what I paid to what HR there is asking.:yikes: But I certainly could see one choosing that route.

I like the look, but not enough to change.

I don't know, maybe it is just me, but I still like the look of the F6B three radiator hole fairing

over the two radiator hole GL fairing!

The back end looks odd; kinda stumpy looking. The F6 flows, that one in the picture looks like they are forcing it. :shrug:

I never picked up on the difference, I just never noticed the two were different

Lotsa folks unhappy that the 6 has no cruise,,, Maybe a few unhappy about the lack of reverse. (???)

I believe others have morphed a GL into a 6 for those same reasons, but,,,,,, not for this price,,,

With that being said,,,, I wouldn't buy it as the 6 has all I need.

The lines of the 6 are much sleeker, no doubt about it.

That's pretty sweet. I like the rear spoiler. I have no need for reverse or heated grips though and don't care for the look of the passenger backrest. Not a bad deal though for a fully accessorized Goldwing.

The lower rear 'verticals' of the fairing on the GL's flair out a little more than the 6 as well. :icon_wink:

Wonder who makes the 'rear adapter w/spoiler?

Maybe a different version of the MBL with a spoiler added?????

and I'll bet most guys haven't as everyone thinks the F6B is just a GL with the same faring...it's not. The fairing was one of the first things that drew me to the F6B:yes:
