My 2016 F6B -- Lots of additions

[F6Bster]

I picked up my new 2016 F6B Deluxe at Honda of Russellville at the end of March 2017. I have a thing for Orange and Black bikes (my high school colors were O&B), so I had the matte silver painted Jupiter Orange Metallic (2003 Gold Wing color) before I picked it up. They did a great job with the paint and I am very pleased one year and 6700 miles later. When I purchased the bike I knew that I would make a few additions/changes, but the list has gotten much longer than I ever expected. Only things that I might add in the future are a different seat (RDL, Corbin [had one on my FJR1300], or Ultimate), and Garmin 395LM with TPMS. Several week-long trips planned this summer with friends -- should be lots of fun!!!!

My additions over the last year:

• Ergo III Cruising Pegs Black
• Gorilla 9000 Alarm (mounted in right fairing near cruise control unit)
• Clearview Medium Sport Tour Dark Windshield with Vent and recurve (great for me; looks great also)
• Put on a TAKA LRS 11" Windshield for a year -- was too short, but still nice
• Baker Hand (Mirror) Wings New Generation
• Grip Puppies
• Sena SR10 Bluetooth in left cubby; CB PTT button on left grip
• Sena 20S EVO Headsets
• HJC IS33 II NIRO 3/4 Helmet
• Midland 75-822 CB in left cubby
• Firestik II 2-ft FS-2BK CB antenna in place of OEM radio antenna (works great)
• OEM radio antenna laying flat under rear top cover/seat
• Mpow Ground Loop Noise Isloator (3.5mm)
• Electrical Connection Battery Connection Extenders
• Wiring for Battery Tender and Gerbings
• Hyperlites 32 LED Running/Brake Lights
• Dual LED License Plate Frame Running/Brake Lights
• Pathfinder LED replacement tail/brake lights

If I see that B on the road, I'll know it's you for sure. Russellville has always had some great aftermarket paint jobs and yours is one of the best looking.

Thanks. Am looking forward to the gathering in Cortez and meeting you and others. Should be a fun time.

I wish I had those replacement covers. Honda doesn't make them in matte white, and I'm not paying someone to paint the non white ones...

Damn pretty country in those pictures.

Nice bike and it reminds me of mine in a way..Had mine painted Brandywine Candy Red by House of Colors before I purchased it...Looks great in the sunshine!!..All those "extras" are nice, but unfortunately do not add one dime to the re-sale value of the bike, so enjoy them while you can...Ride safe

All of the "extras" were added for my enjoyment; nothing about my bike was done with a "re-sale" consideration. I'll ride it until it dies, I die, or I just give it up from old age. I loved my 2002 Wing and enjoyed it for 154,000+ miles. I'd still be riding it except for an accident.

That Brandywine Candy Red is beautiful. Ride it as much as you can opas.

".All those "extras" are nice, but unfortunately do not add one dime to the re-sale value of the bike, so enjoy them while you can".

Isn't that a nice thing to say to a guy who is obviously proud of his bike and wants to share with the group.
