    Maybe so, but it is not really an issue for this old "fart" as I will probably never buy another big bike like the Goldwings...Regards

    Hell, I'm 20 years behind you thinking that Isleen is going to be my last bike!

    Started riding motorcycles in the late 50's, quit for several years while college, jobless, other issues, etc. kept me away until 1973..Started again, and rode for a few years until my wife wanted me to stop while we raised our 5 kids..Got back on bikes again in 1999 (age 59) with a Valkyrie Tour and have had 6 bikes since then..The F6B is one of my favorites among the 20 + bikes I have owned...Winding down now, but hope to ride a few more years if my health holds up...Regards

    This bike has the best feeling front end of any bike I've ever rode. Runs straight and true hands on or off the bars, does not shake or feel squirrelly ever. No wobble and carves curves with ease and firmness even while making sparks fly. Tires wear evenly and smooth. I would not change it for anything, if it ain't broke don fix it. In my 60s but plan on wearing this one out and starting on another in a few years.

    At my 12K service I had Progressive Monotubes and All Balls bearings installed, and it's a brand new bike. The front end is much 'tighter' and solid. I'm a happy camper.

    Do you mind sharing how much you paid, Draxsr?

    Parts (same prices you'll find from the vendors online) + 6 hours of labor at the "winter" rate.
