You might be right JM. I've got a 2015 B.....14 years after coming out.....I'll wait for the 2032 Wing. All should be good by then.
Will, I would ride more if I could, but with my wife having major surgery on her back last year and the lousy weather lately, I don't get much chance to ride...Hopefully the new year will be better...BTW, what do you mean by "better function" with a $3,000 suspension upgrade??...Just curious and ride safe
That $3,000 is a variable; it would be the full upgrade. I only did the front end...
This has been discussed ad nauseam... The F6B's front forks in OEM form are of poor design with only half the dampening ability that could be afforded by two functional shocks. Traxxion solves that issue.
Watch all three video's. They explain it

I don't understand how the reports of great ride quality from the front end are co-existing with the reports from Traxxion about having 1" of shock travel and the shock bottoming bumper coming into play frequently.
Looked the rubber bumper is part of the shock dampening system!!. The top of the shock hits the damper and gives it that "rubberized road feel". Honda should come out with a rubber bumper like a Superbrace that comes in 2 pieces. Just screw a new one on every 500 miles or so, then hit the next rest area. Parts Dept. will sell 'em with 500 to the case.
OR.....Max says the travel of the shock is 53mm and the bumper takes up 60% of that travel. Maybe the bumper compresses to about 59% of that amount. I'd get the 4 year extended warranty on that bumper......OR.....Honda is going to get real pissed if they have to pay to replace that sucker every so often under warranty if it wears out prematurely. If what I saw had 300 miles on it, that piece might not last too long.
