    ATTENTION GETTER

    I have had a number of people ask questions about the bike. One at a gas station wanted to take pictures, I think he took about 7. Rode up to a little town north of where I live and went to a bike bar, mostly HD's. I Must have had 15 of these guys checking out the bike and a couple took pics, three came over to talk and ask questions. I am use to this however. I still own a 1997 chromed out Honda Valkyrie that turns heads and prompts comments and pics from almost everywhere I go.

    Loud pipes and Ape Hangers

    People in my neck of the woods only seem to respond to LOUD bikes with Ape Hangers. Does anyone make a set of Ape Hangers to fit the F6B ???

    Ape Hangers

    You do not need Ape Hangers. You are riding a superior bike. I am on a Honda 1300R VTX. I catch flack for not being a Harley rider. I tell them, I do not need a Harley nor VIAGRA. Once, I honored another motorcycle group by playing TAPS for one of their members, at his grave. I had to ride at the back of their ride to a cookout after the graveside honor. They have 'American' made bikes. I told them, my VIN was 1H. My bike was made in Ohio, USA. I say, BE YOURSELF! screw others. Be happy with what you have. You are riding a Honda that will outlast any of the APE Hanger bikes.

    F6B Intervention- it don't get old

    Yes brother. I saw The F6B and was saved, as in saved from Harley cultism. I had an Electra Glide Classic. I liked it much. I commenced buying it all kind of pretty things to put on it. By now I was deep in the Harley Kool-aid. I started riding with other cult members and our ending destinations was always the local Harley Dealer shrine. We'd always ride to the shrine and pay homage, and buy stuff. The last ride was about our ride to the shrine. The next trip was to go to another shrine and buy another $60 tee-shirt that proved we had been there to worship. Soon it was the boots, then the chaps, then the gloves, do -rags, hats, tin signs, the pins, more shirts, shot glasses, underwear, anything Harley. Nothing but Harley oil, Harley cleaning stuff, and Harley magazines. Then one day while at the shrine, I was about to pop on a $500 coat when my wife just up and slapped me. I saw stars. Then I saw a bunch of overpriced merchandise and they same bikes I been seeing for 50 years but with different tank badges. As I was recovering I started looking at other bikes, and riding them and then I went full circle from my early Honda 175 Scrambler, XL350, 450 twin, and CB750 back to this F6B Honda. I like it much but I don't worship it. I don't have anything that says Honda, but I might get something. Things change, times change, Harleys don't. We've all changed. You don't meet the nicest people on a Honda no more. Bout damn time them othe a-holes know that. It don't get old. later....
    What was this thread about anyways?

    That's some funny stuff there because I know what you are talking about since I own a Street Glide.

    Double Dog Ditto! While reading this my last few riding years were flashing through my head. So glad to be free from the shrine and the worship. Now I just worship the road. Anyone wanna buy some Harley gear?

    Oh yeah, and so far my bike has been confused with a Victory Vision, and someone thought it was a BMW. I think it looks like a two wheeled Cadillac. Thinking about some caddy badges front and rear.

(I've removed all of the honda logos, etc ...) I'm like dude ... do I know you??? You can't just walk up to a man and grab his leg ...lmao ..WTF!!!

    I felt like I worked for Honda after the 3rd group of folks walked by ...
    How does the front circle Honda badge come off? Is it glued on as well?

    Reach up behind the badge or down through the pocket and you will feel a hole behind the badge use something blunt to push the badge off I tend to warm it first with a hair dryer its glued on with double sided tape

    I take delivery of my F6B Weds-- my daily bike has been a 99 Valkyrie for 4 years (also own a hayabusa)-- Did a ride not too long ago with a bunch of Harley guys -- the first thing was it made even a road king look small -- then when I fired it up jaws hit the ground (Cobra 6 pipe) at our first stop I had to wait for them -- the quote was "that big assed son of a bitch hauls balls" I expect more of the same from the wing
