Welcome to the F6B forum. good info here. Exhaust noise is a personal choice. Some like loud, others not so. So, if you don't like the cobra sound, don't blame Honda, just get something different. Also same with seats. Everyone's ass is different size and shape. Just sit on a few different brands. and absorb any info about aftermarket seats and make your choice. Pipes and seats do not define this fabulous F6B. This bike can deliver great rides on the main routes, back roads, twistys, switchbacks, or whatever you feel like throwing at it. The more you ride it, the better it gets!

Agree; I was referring to the specific set-up in the F6B I purchased. I was not clear about that. Another poster told me the drone sound is eliminated with the Torq Loopz mod...I'll do that. I don't mind loud...I do mind a horrible drone noise. As far as seat...I'm still confused as to why the Saddlemen RoadSofa is advertised as fitting only 2014-2017. I even wrote to them and they said no go on the 2013. Add to that posts of some having difficulty with the install.... I could order it and they said they would take it back if it didn't it. Just absorb shipping costs...which are high for such a large item. Despite these two items to address, I really love this F6B and it encourages me to take longer rides.

I’m not an expert but I would bet the seat will fit a 2013 F6B, Honda didn’t change anything on the newer models.
Ultimate, Mustang, and Corbin are also the options

Yes..I've had 4 different Corbins over the years, The Ultimate is a maybe, and the Mustang would be a second choice, but the Road Sofa from Saddlemen looked the best from what I can see...had great reviews. I agree with you...I even told the rep that replied to me that there is no difference on the 2013. I'll try it and wrestle it on there.

You can purchase a set of "tapered seat bolts" which makes installing the seat much easier. Check on our forum venders web site for these. Not expensive.
