Hello...New F6B owner

[RTaz]

Just picked up my new F6B today...I'm a long time rider and still have one of my six Honda Valkyries left. I was riding with my wife Devl (she has a Spyder) in the U.P of Michigan when for the second time I had a Honda valve stem fail me and left me stranded. Anyway when I got back to civilization I took the wheel in to our local Honda shop to fix the valve stem....wouldn't you know it, they happened to have a f6b sitting on the floor I couldn't resist sitting on it and it fit me well. The salesman told me he had 2013 demo bike still in the crate he would make me a deal I couldn't refuse ......he was right I couldn't refuse! So here it is my New 2013 crated F6B I love it.

Welcome, I feel your pain, had my front valve stem go out on the last ride of 2015 and my back one go out the 1st ride of 2016, replaced them w/metal.

I now have a half dozen metal ones sitting in my parts bin, you can bet they will be installed at first tire change!

We need to meet up again and have some blueberry pie.
If you liked your Valk you wil love your B.

I was just up thru your neck of the woods about 3 weeks ago, I came across M55 to Tawas and ran 23 up thru Oscoda to Alpena and then took 32 back across thru Gaylord and down 131 back to my home in Cadillac. Always liked that ride up the coast as I was a delivering freight up that route before I retired. Its nicer on the B instead of a truck though.

[F6Dave]

When I bought my F6B I was surprised that Honda was still using those same rubber valve stems that my Valkyries had. I had one mess up a trip, too. Needless to say my old Valkyries and new F6B all have metal stems now. I even added Show Chrome TPMS to the F6B. It's nice to see the tire pressures and temperatures as you ride.

Welcome and nothing like a bike out of the crate. Same way that I got mine.

[Dave Ritsema]

Sweet Ride Bro,

Got mine right out of the crate as well.

Let the aftermarket accessory binge begin! :icon_biggrin: Great group of folks on this forum, much like the VRCC. Welcome and congrats!

Welcome, RTaz! I bought a 2013 out of the crate last summer from a dealer in Oak Creek, Wisconsin. Got a pretty good deal on it also.

Former Valkyrie Interstate owner. I totaled out two but neither was really my fault---wrong place at the right time. Bought the B after the second total out and haven't looked back. LOVE the B.

I was wiggydotcom on the VRCC but just wiggy here.

I also have tire pressure monitors but have the FOBO brand..I really like them for piece of mind---especially since I'm running a Bridgestone Driveguard runflat and want to know if it loses pressure.

Welcome from PA! Nice ride!

I am a long time member of the Valkyrie Riders Cruisers Club and have been blessed with a lot of good friends from that group. I'm glad to see many of the people over here too, Dave, JackB, Wiggy, sixtogo and I'm sure there are a lot more. Seadog next time your coming through this area let me know maybe we can hook up and ride. I wonder if their are anymore F6B riders here in Michigan?

[Nightwing_67]

.welcome20. To the forum- from NY. This is an awesome bike and the peeps in this forum are very helpful if you have questions, they love to ride and the banter that goes on is very entertaining...lol

There's Seadog in Cadillac.
Opas Ride in Oakland County.
There's a few others scattered around the lower peninsula.
We had one rider in the UP, but he traded his F6B in for a trike.
I'm in Macomb County, only seen a handful of F6B's in my area.
