She has already had me add a KW dark tint w/s & an MP3 luggage rack. Still deciding on what seat but she has already determined the stock seat aint gettin' it. :shock: Highway pegs are going to be a must with her 34" inseam.
Would like to try a Mustang seat but there isn't a version with a backrest which she definitely requires. She says the B feels lighter & more nimble than her '98 Valkyrie. :yes:
i just bought mine today . . . i will have to ride it to see what changes and additions that i will be needing on it. . . . so excited to be part of the F6B family!!Quote:

Saddlebag bag liners (for traveling)
Saddlebag carpet kit
A seller named "themonogrammingqueen" on eBay makes F6B saddlebag mats for about half the price of Honda. I have a set... and I feel good about saving money every time I see them :icon_biggrin:

I even had a travel bag that would sit on the passenger seat if I needed more space, but I didn't need it for this trip.
i like the liners - i will prob look into that a little more and maybe get some. . . . . thanks for the info. . .Quote:

I have so many questions. I never rode the F6B, but I am pretty sure I would really like it. The 2 bikes take up so much space, I think the F6B would be take the place of the V-twin and the Gold Wing.
I just can't afford to make the wrong decision. I like both my current bikes, but am trying to simplify my responsibilities and work.
Just wondering. Is it possible to add reverse to F6B ?Quote:

I too have a VTX 1800 and if you can back this up you should be able to back up with height modifications the F6B.Quote:

Even being 5'10", I would have trouble backing up the slightest incline. And, on gravel, I'd just as soon not. I'm always thinking ahead to avoid any of those uncomfortable situations. In those rare instances where either you got careless or really couldn't avoid it, you usually can find someone to give you an assist.Quote:

Next step is to find a dealer that will let me test ride the F6B.
