    That is a true test ride for the modification's, I will add a throttlemeister as I hate the sloppy throttle and I know it is a cure to the no feel grip.
    Have to say that was the smoothest 1200 miles I did in my life. Can't wait for this round of work to be finished as I have no return schedule. Can we say Shenandoah and Natchez trace in one week.

    Installed a set of Helibars on my 6 . Difference is night and day. Still some tweaking to get them perfect but well worth it. Took me about 4 hours taking breaks and going slowly.
    2013 F6B in black of course

    Just means adding a tour pack involves some paint. Know what you mean.

    What panel is that?

    I already had a LED voltmeter installed on the radio control console... but was still yearning for the analog gauge (it just seems to match the rest of the instrumentation better).



    I do like the OEM analog gauge due to it's real time feedback, as opposed to the LED one. When I have my Headlight Modulator running, you can see the needle fluctuate very slightly in tandem with the modulation. Other fluctuation is visible as well depending on what you're switching on and off.

    I'm probably going to leave the LED voltage meter installed for now... just for the coolness factor with the different colored LED's and the way it dims in low light and increases in intensity during bright.

    I'm getting ready to install the MPL handlebar extensions next... think it'll happen today due to the rain

    Is that the panel from Wingstuff? It is not clear on the site if it is compatible with the F6B. Also, is it plug and play or did you have to splice some wires.

    It is from Wingstuff and it does fit the F6B. If you have the Deluxe model F6B it is plug and play, as long as you buy the accessory cable splitter that connects under the left side of the fairing (under the left storage box). You have to route the cable over to the right and then you can plug it in. Wingstuff has that cable as well...

    I believe that if you do not have the Deluxe model, you can connect directly to the connector on the right side that would be normally used by the heated grips switch.

    You also can not see this in my pictures that you found, but when you are installing that Voltmeter, you will see that the threaded positive terminal on the back of it comes dangerously close to contacting the radiator. So just get one of those wire terminal connection twist plugs (the kind you use when your're connecting house wires together) and twist it on to the threaded terminal in order to keep it insulated from the radiator.

    Not today, but last weekend my son and I rode our motorcycles to a campground located in Winona, MN along the Mississippi river. It was my first motorcycle camping trip in over 25 years and my son's first one ever.
