Welcome Cheesy. :039: I'm sure you'll be adding a lot of mods to the bike in no time. Impressive you're already at 1200 miles. :)

Thank you everyone

1.) Coming from a bike with no fairing (Triumph Thunderbird), the level of wind protection feels like heaven (but I did order a taller windshield as part of the incentive program)
2.) The paint is a little soft

Congrats on the new F6B! I had the same reaction after getting rid of my BIG TWIN and getting the BIGGER and FASTER F6. What really blew me away was how great this beast handles. It took a few accessories like the Mustang seat, Rivco highway pegs and tall windshield, but now the F6 is a perfect fit too.

Yes, the paint is soft and scratches easily. A lot of folks have used Liquid Glass to harden up the paint and have reported great success. The Honda paint is definitely not up to par with the other H companies paint. .batman-smilie.

4,000 miles in my first month of ownership. You might be on track to beat that.

Thank you everyone-am going to Iowa to meet up with the Midwest Motorcycle Rally people

Without any mods I am happy with the F6, tho' will pick up some Iso Grips at J&P cycles. I was thinking of Debadging the front to give the front a darker look
