I was looking at the specs for the F6B and Goldwing and compared them side by side on Hondas web site and found a difference between models. Has anyone else noticed this?

The front suspension is the same for the F6B and standard Wing, BUT for the upper level Wings there is more front suspension travel.

Front Suspension 45mm cartridge fork with anti-dive system, 4.8 inches travel -- F6B and Standard Wing

Front Suspension 45mm cartridge fork with anti-dive system, 5.5 inches travel --- 3 Upper level Wings

Interesting. Service Manual does not show any difference, all models 2012-16 show 4.8" fork travel.

The 3 higher Goldwing levels only add-- XM and Navigation,,,,, XM & Nav & ABS ,,,,, XM & Nav & ABS & Air Bag

Just doesn't seem to be a need for an extra .7 in of travel.
