I just traded in my 2006 Honda VTX 1300C for a 2013 red deluxe. It was hard to see it go. It hauled me to Alaska in 2013 and got me home again. Great first bike for me. I've been reading about the F6b for 2 years now and had to have one. The ride home from dealer was 110 miles and I must say you are all correct. I ordered the Madstad that night. The power is so much more than I expected. That is a good thing. The riding position is something I will need to get used to. My arse was a little sore on the way home. I'm hoping the stock seat breaks in. I had a mustang on my VTX and loved it. Anyway thanks for all the info from you guys I've been lurking for a year13467

Congratulations on your new bike. And yes the stock seat does get better with a few thousand miles on them.

.welcome20., Sierra, from NC :039:. Regarding your seat comments...in my case, I found the stock seat breaking down rather than breaking in and replaced it with the Ultimate Mid Rider. Particularly if you want the seat to move you slightly forward, that seat is a great choice.

From another newbie...how long is a newbie a newbe???? I'm over here to the right , in Minnesota, close to Twin Cities. I'm making changes, it seems every other day, so feel free to stop by anytime, just check to make sure I'm not on the road. I like the bike so much, I wake up daily think of where I can ride...then I see the grass will need mowing. Got to get rid of that lawn or let it grow. Welcome, I've found many helpful and good people here.

Good luck with the bike. I was stationed there in the mid 70's....have they reduced the bug population yet? I couldn't imagine cleaning them off a motorcycle like I saw on my car back then!

Lol. No bugs yet. I'm sure it will be soon. I need to get some liquid glass on before the bugs come out.
