Possibly new I the F6B club

[mohnolith]

It looks like I'm getting rid of the VTX. I found a 2013 F6B at a great price, and I'm going to look at it tomorrow. My question to you all is, I'm a big guy (6'2" and 290lbs), and I've heard conflicting stories about how well this bike handles us "big-boned" fellas. Thoughts?

[Dirtstiff's F6B]

There are some big and bigger guys here, very happy with the fit. But like your VTX and mine, the F6 also will take some tweaking with mods to make your fit. Don't they all.
I'm 230 at 6', 35" inseam and I've made mine very comfortable. It was not, bone stock.

YMMV,

Jim

I'm a little out of touch, about how much is a great price?

[3Chief]

I'm 5'11" 315 and the B fits pretty good. I also had a VTX. It fits a little different, but otherwise no major changes from my VTX. I think a different seat is the only major change I plan.

[BEIST]

Big guy like you needs a couch rocket like this!

I,m 6ft4 380lbs. A must for me was Hwy pegs and a Masstad shield. An the bike is just as good as any V-tiwn I have owned.(BETTER) as far as Handling an Power.

$12,500 with only 715 miles on it. The guy hurt his back and can't ride it

What kind of seat are you getting? I have had a Mustang Racing seat on my last 2 bikes. They have to be the most comfortable seats I've ever rode on.

I still have an '08 Fatboy that my father left me when he passed. I am getting the F6B, because I want something I can put a lot of miles on. I'll never get rid of his bike, but I also don't want to wear it out...it is a Harley after all.

The bike handles just fine for the XXL crowd in my opinion. I too am 6'2" and 290.
I did add highway pegs and an ultimate drivers backrest plus a F4 Custom shield to enhance the experience !

[Navvet]

I'm somewhere between 6"6" and 6'8" .... 300 Lbs (sometimes) ......

I added a tall windshield, Airhawk, Ergo II's, and Roadsmiths comfort controls .....

All of that makes this the best bike I have owned in 41 years of riding ....

Went with the Russell-Day Long custom seat build on my 2015 deluxe as the stock seat wasn't up to par for me. Being old didn't help either as I am 66 this year and if I had been 22 I think the stock seat would have been fine. Also added highway pegs and those also helped. 36793680

That's a Great Price :clap2::clap2:


Well Done :cheers:

[edgeman55]

I'm 6'5" and on a good day go around 370 now(depends on what kind of lunch I had that day!) I have added a 19" Baggershield windscreen and the Baker hand wings.Also Kury mini boards and ergo111 footpegs.This setup with the stock seat and I can run tank to tank fillups around 200 miles with no real problem.I am going to get a Russel day long saddle done this year with a ride in service and that should really make my kester happy.Only other thing I could add later would be Helibars.Just crank up the rear shock and enjoy the ride.

[mohnolith]

Ok. I picked her up today and rode 205 miles home. That was the smoothest ride I have ever been on. I have a feeling there will be 1000's of miles of enjoyment ahead. There are a few mods I may make (thicker saddle, highway pegs, and maybe GPS), but that is all.

[gandydancer]

6`3--260---taller windshield--seat that backed me up 2"--no problems---picked up a 2013 last month for 13,200 with 8000 miles on it--now it has alot of extras like custom pipes, grips, etc--got a good deal---but you got a great deal!!!!!! ride safe and be blessed--

I'm looking at either a Mustang or the Russel Day Long...Haven't decided yet although I'm beginning to lean towards the Russel will ride in service since I have to go that direction on my way home in a month or two.

Funny, that's what I told my wife $2K ago. Famous last words!:money1:

Yeah. It never quite works out that way does it? This is why I can't afford a nicer car. My motorcycles take all of my money....and time!

[BobR]

6' and 292 lbs. I added Kuryaken Ergo highway pegs, Madstad windshield, and Corbin seat. I did add a Super Brace which helped keep the bike from flexing on spirited driving on the twisties in the mountains. Put on 10K miles since last June. This is my 119th bike, the best I have ever owned, it just does everything well.

[mohnolith]

Any suggestions on being able to increase the load capacity so my wife can ride? I have the Harley we can ride, but I'm sure she may want to ride this at some point.

[Hdnvn]

Lol, man I'm the little guy here. 6'2", 215 I love the stock seat, no problems with it at all
