If you could pick any color for you F6B what would it be?
I love my black B would love it more if it have a clear coat.
But I would go with a dark grey.

Is there something darker than black?

I've thought about this too and I think I would go for some shade of white, leaving the matte black lower panels "as is". I have seen an "off white" on some of the late model Ford Edges that I like. It's not snow white at all, it has a tinge of yellow in it giving it a creamy tone. I have seen a similar color on some Caddy Escalades too.

I like the black but if I was doing a repaint it would be Honda Pearl Spencer Blue. Had it on my VT1300 and was always getting nice compliments. Very nice blue with a bit of metal flake. Honda used it on a number of bike models.

Take a look at this 2014 ... Disregard the fact that it's a trike, the dealer says that the color on this 2014 is Pearl Spencer Blue :shrug: could this be the color on the 2015 F6B ?????

Phantom, that does look like the pearl spencer blue but hard to tell in that lighting. The paint on the 2014 Valk is called Atmosphere Metallic blue which has a slight purple hue if I may call it that. I haven't seen the 2015 F6B but I think it is the same. I checked Colorite's website but they don't have a code yet for that paint.

I might go with a matte black but really I am thinking of just painting anything shiny

I thoroughly enjoy my White Goldwing, however my first choice is the 2007 Goldwing Blue. I believe it was the only year Honda used this blue, in my opinion it was a BEAUTIFUL Dark Blue, it was called Newport Blue Metallic. You have to see it in person to appreciate it, photos don't do it justice.

Honda also has a Illusion Blue that has a purple hue to it.

A CANDY BLACK CHERRY with Chrome wheels and chrome bottom accents would look saweeeet in my eyes :icon_mrgreen:

I'm really happy with the black on my bike. Until I see the matte black/grey in person, I'll stick with the black. I originally thought white would look good on an F6B, but now i think it would make the bike look totally different, and nowhere near as badazz as it looks now.

I had mine painted a House of Colors paint called "Brandywine Kandy Clearcoat"..It is similar to the stock Honda color on an older GW..I don't remember the year, but it looks great to me.....I love the new blue although, and I would consider that if I was in the market...

If I paint mine I would like white as I like the look against the other black panels-Plus when I come up on cagers they will part like the Red Sea for me!

If I were to have a bike painted I would go with a product from this company: http://lumilor.com/ and turn it into a fully 'Lighted' bike. It would be one of a kind. :icon_mrgreen:

I love the color of the 2014 metallic blue valkyrie and I'm hoping the 2015 blue metallic f6b is the same.

The Admin at goldwingdocs.com found it and I investigated the product for use on custom trikes and bookmarked the site for future use and to share with others.

Matte gray or black would allow more riding and less cleaning, or a flat color to match the plastic lowers.

If it was a new Street Glide it may have been Amber Whiskey, which is probably my favorite color HD does.

As for me I think I would do a charcoal grey pearl/metallic.

Probably the best looking HD's I have ever seen are the Street Glides...Both of the ones posted above are really nice looking bikes in my humble opinion...If I were going to go back to a V-twin, one of these would be my choice....(Maybe, maybe not)....

I really like the amber whiskey too but the couple that I've seen were a brighter orange . I'll have to do a little more research to see if I can find the color name. that grey is a good looking color to.

I really like the Honda pearl white metallic....stock paint on my 2007 VTX1300C.....would look real good with all the F6B black parts and some chrome parts here and there too..:icon_biggrin:..

besides my wife thinks cagers can see me comin' better than with the total black....maybe so:shrug:

It would be nice to see what the different colors would look like.
I'm thinking about going with dark candy cherry.

Honda has used a Candy Black Cherry in the past. That was one of the 3 colors offered on the Honda Rune

Pearl White. If I keep this thing I might do it. I love the bike but it wouldn't cost Honda much to offer more than two or three colors. Maybe my only gripe.
