Brought the F6B Home Last Night

[lgjhn]

I bought Pseudo-Fed's '15 Deluxe and went to pick it up yesterday.
BTW, Pseudo-Fed is a really nice fella and great to do business with.
We got back from Ft. Worth around 10pm and was too tired to do anything other than unload the bike and roll it into the shop.
Today, I got her registered and a plate. Got the state-required inspection sticker this afternoon.
Rolled on about 50 miles just to get used to it.....I LIKE this bike....A LOT!!!

Welcome to the club!

The more you ride her, the more you will like her.
Around 5,000 miles, your spouse will accuse you having an affair.....

Welcome!

What size is that Madstad windshield?

[Az Wingrider]

Congratulations on getting a great bike. I am sure you will grow to love it like the rest of us. I notice it has a Windbender windshield which is a great addition, I certainly love mine.

Welcome

Welcome!

Willtill,
I believe it is the 13" dark smoke.
This has gotta be the most butt-ugly looking shield I have ever seen on a motorcycle, but after 130 miles of riding today, including 2-up with the wife, we both agree that really does the job. My initial reaction to it was to immediately change it out, but now, I think I'm gonna leave it on there because the darn thing works so well.

Thanks for that.

My "jury is still out" regarding the Madstad (due to the aesthetics of it) but if I ever would get another windshiled... it probably would be the Madstad.

The dark smoke looks good on your bike as well. :icon_cool:

:congrats: You're going to enjoy that ride, and + 1 on the windshield. I like the looks of it and it make the blue stand out. Ride safe :039:

Well, here in a few minutes, I'm gonna ride her up to Renegade HD in Alexandria, LA to their 13th Annual Crawfish Boil.
I'm gonna park that big blue thing right in the middle of a whole big bunch of mostly black Harleys and go eat my weight in crawfish...LOL.
This will be about 160 miles round trip and I'm sure I'll be heavier on the way back. :icon_lol:
We got lots of rain coming in here next week and I want to put a few miles on this bike beforehand.
I also have a list of farkles about a mile long. I didn't realize how much "stuff" I've added to my trike over the years.
I must have $4000 worth of "stuff" hanging off that thing and now need most of the same items on the F6B as well!
Appreciate the warm welcome and comments from all you guys.
Everyone ride safe and have a good weekend.

Willtill,
I measured it today and it's the 11" and the real dark gray. For one-up, I have it set all the way down and almost parallel to the inner one. I'm 5'9" and that setting lets me look over the top and keeps the wind off me. For 2-up, we found that raising it about an 1" and increasing the angle a little gives both of us a wind-free ride. All of this is done with a single short ride. I'm sure we'll be experimenting with it some more as time goes on. I put almost 300 miles on her today and that lowest setting worked fine for me.

[Dirtstiff's F6B]

Beautiful.
Many great miles ahead.

Congrats on the new bike and .welcome20. from not too far away in New Orleans, LA

[choptop]

Congrats and welcome.:yes:

[CopperMike]

Sweet! Congrats. That blue looks good!

[WIRED2]

Congrats ... By far the best bike I ever owned in my 38 plus years of riding ... You will enjoy it ...'gw-smiley'

[jburns3239]

You will like the ride a bit more each time you take her out.

[Rob41]

Congrat's on the new bike! I agree, there are better looking windshields out there for sure, but I can see being easily swayed by the function. It is on my short list of windshields. :yes:

[wiggy]

Congrats on the new B...and welcome to the group!

[Fla_rider]

Congrat's, and as you have found out there is never enough hours in a day to ride the 6.
