Bear in mind, important point, black is the fastest color.

Taxfree4, I agree. I’ve only seen the other colors in my rear view mirror.

Sorry gentleman. You are both wrong.

Matte Silver is the fastest. Of course the color is not original though; when the factory tests the bike before shipping; the finish goes through a thermally induced color change due to the drag coefficient imparted upon it's surface by the superior speed and acceleration.

Ha! Black? Silver? Gray? Those aren't colors...that's what colorblind people see �� All of you know the Beautiful Blue is the best and the fastest of course... ������

That's a mouthful, I'll need a few days just to decipher that will. This is like asking "Can you recommend a good oil for the bike", and away we go.

I too, am 5'3 and had to adjust the ergonomics to fit me.

Kuryakyn handlebar risers.
Ultimate seat W/ backrest
Kurykyn floorboards
Kurykyn handlebar grips
Each has its own purpose / function, but as a combined solution to address complete ergonomics solution.
Hope this helps!

I am a Harley Road King / F6B owner also.
They both have distinct riding characteristics ..not necessarily good or bad.
The F6 will lift up off the stand with about 1/2 the effort you are used to...
The Harly is about ten times more comfortable.
The riding position just is about enough to make me sell the F6.
The F6 never complains in a corner, whereas,
The HD yells "You better know what to hail you are doing!"
With The HD you pick your line early IF you are hot in,
and you better know all there is to know about counter steer.
The F6 is much more forgiving.
I think we all need a different bike for each day of the week!

I’m 5-6 with a 28 inch inseam. I had Hearco build a seat lower, put on heli bars and got thick sole boots. I can slide forward and flat foot. Oh yea I lowered the rear end an inch .Lower wing makes a one and a quarter lowering bracket too.

we have a Honda dealer forum sponsor in Ark that might have a new 16-17, I understand he gives good deals. Also check "Cycler Trader" & our forums 4 sale. You'll find your B is a great handling bike. It handles nothing like a HD. 100,000 on a HD is good service, don't know what you had to spend for repairs & the like but your B will be trouble free. I've heard of some GW's hitting 500,000 with out any engine, tranny or other major problems.
I had just brought a '16 Chief when I took a 20 minute demo ride on a B, it handles like a 800# sport bike. Brought a great used '13 B & sold the '16 Chief in that order, no regrets.
My black '13 B is faster than the Matte Gray ones. LOL
