New F6B Rider

[seadog]

Seadog here, Just thought I would jump in and introduce myself, I am a retired trucker that just likes motorcycles and am in the process of purchasing a 2015 Silver F6B Deluxe. I traded in the war horse, a Red Suzuki Boulevard M109R for something with a lot more comfort and the ability to not beat you up so bad. I liked the M109R but after 300 miles I was just whipped from wind and ride and I am not getting any younger. Turning 66 years old in May this year and am looking forward to a nice smooth machine. I live in Cadillac, Michigan

Looks like the Grey color is selling well. Quite a few on here already. Good luck with your new machine.

'welcome gang' young man, from Sunny Tampa, Fl. Post some pics when you finally take her home.

See you at the Rally on Labor Day Weekend!

Welcome to the (it's not gray) Metallic Bullet Steel club.

Here, I'll remind the others of how good it looks until you get some pics.

Ah self gratification. It still feels a wee bit better in the shower.

You will love the F6B - but order a windshield NOW. I'm 65, ridden fully faired BMW's for the past 15 years and was not used to the wind when I got my F6B last year. First aftermarket purchase was a 13" shield from C. Baily, but there are many good products out there. If you don't want to be beat up from the wind, replace the shield.

Ride safe.

Welcome to a great bike..I am in Michigan and retired from Ford. Got my bike a while back at Central Motorsports in Mt.Pleasant. Ride up by Cadillac occasionally..Perhaps we could "hook-up" later in year for a little ride...You will love the F6B, but a taller windshield will be something you want to check out...I have the 11"-19" Baggershield and it works great, no wind noise or turbulence and very quiet...Rice safe....

I already told the dealer to take off that 10 cent windshield and put a two piece Bagger shield on it. I had a tall windshield on my M109R and am to old to change my diet to eating bugs on the highway....

Welcome seadog!
For smoother ride....
1. Evaluate, procure seat to proper fit. Many find stock just fine, others like more of a "bucket" feel.
2. Once seat is procured, get proper windshield
3. Add lights for visibility
4. Add farkles as required
