May the 2014 nay-sayers bite their tongue!
We just got word of a Mustang seat, and recently developments of a MadStad shield system and a KlockWorks shield all specifically for the F6B.
Do you think other aftermarket manufacturers will invest in F6B specific accessories if it's a 'one and done'? HECK NO!!! What ya see now is all there will ever be, and even then, it'll turn into something no one stocks or a 'special order' item, IF you can find it.
We NEED the F6B to hang around for at least a few years. (I predict it will)
Unless, of course, you like bare-nekked bone-stock bikes!!!!!!
Who is "We" as in we got word. I want a KlockWerks windshield and all I can find out is that they are working on it and don't know if or when it will be out. DickieMay the 2014 nay-sayers bite their tongue!

For what it's worth (not much) the sales manager at my dealership told me he should have info in November and to expect the new model to hit showrooms in March. He did say he did not expect to see any changes other than paint options for 2014. This is a long time dealership with 'Super' dealer status and a long track record (+20 years)
Great prediction, and I can easily see that happening.
JMHO, I think the Black could be the better seller of the 2 2013's. Unclear if they would kill it off in 2014.
Maybe they'll add a color to what's available for 3 choices total, but I expect no 'real' changes otherwise in 2014.
November 4th they will be released.
I Just want to wait and see if at least it has ABS. Also I am selling my HD, so until I dont sell that puppy, there is no place in my garage for another puppy......

Thanks, Jeff. You're the one guy in this thread in a position to have some info. on this.
And I'm eager to get that new adjustable backrest mount. Will post some pics.

NONE of those items I mentioned are 100% out on the market available for purchase. (with the possible exception of the Madstad,, maybe,,,)
That's the entire reason behind my post indicating 'developments'. Not so much that you can buy it TODAY, but there is NEW stuff 'in the pipeline' being made specifically for F6B's.
If Honda kill's the F6B after one year, future aftermarket 'developments' will die before they ever get close to becoming a reality.
HD accessories are virtually unlimited. (Due to the 'inter-breeding' of models.) 'Metric' owners are never as fortunate, and worse yet, up until a year ago, "Sporty/Bagger" and "Goldwing" were never mentioned in the same sentence.
There really aren't a lot of 'sporty/bagger' options for G-Wings, unless you think stick-on chrome and LED lighting are all ya need!
I think we all would like something a bit different than a full blown Goldwing, or, we would have bought one.
The more choices I have to 'make it mine' the better. =)
(Heck, if I wanted something with ZERO aftermarket potential, I would have bought an INDIAN!!! LOL!)
I got your point..... I was just hoping you knew something that I don't. I'm trying to avoid the purchase of a bunch windshields that really don't quite do what you want. I've owned Klock Werks and want one for the F6B.Keep yer britches on Dickie!!!
