What did you do to your F6B today?

I installed a separate speaker for my radar detector so I could hear the son of a bitch at 80 mph. Works great! 105 Db's.

That is cool.

That's crazy

Wow, the wind my gosh. I have to invest in a higher windshield.

...

Lol. For best wind protection try a Madstad windshield.

Call Honda Corporate and talk to them about the warranty thing... I really don't know if it makes a difference

If you're talking about a heal-toe-shifter, I'd try to talk you out of that. I don't think they're good for the bike; our trannies are constant-mesh with square dogs (i.e not undercut) that get worn down over time. A heal-toe accelerates the wear IMO.

Get a good rainsuit... keep good tires on the bike... and enjoy the 6 in the rain! I do

Got the Rivco Highway pegs positioned on the vertical bar instead of the horizontal and is just the sweet spot for me. Attachment 14628

I'd be interested in knowing the components you used in doing that. Also, which radar detector model are you using? Thanks!

I was thinking of making the radar-screamer, but this fits the bill and appears to support dialog in addition to tones. The radar-screamer only supports 1 tone.

I will look into the Madstatd windshield where is the best place to order it? Read the blog about the heal toe shifter and understand I need some real riding boots instead of my black Walmart special steel toes. Went back to the dealer in the rain and they agreed to get me the Honda extended 3 year warranty for the same price as the aftermarket one that restricted me to go to them if my bike broke within 40 miles of them. They will be mailing me the new contract. They removed the license plate from the bike I traded and handed it to me and I installed it. I also wonder what else they did not do on the set up procedures from Honda. Is there anything I can check? Decided I could ride in the rain all day on this bike the faring keeps my pants almost dry, jacket is good, need a better modular helmet. Any suggestions? This is the most awesome machine I have ever been on. Thanks for your help.

Ordered my Clearview 15" light gray sport touring width shield last week. Picked up my Honda accessory backrest and brackets today. Also got my new Joe Rocket Phoenix Ion jacket. Finally riding somewhat protected.
Glad to hear you got the Honda contract. Most aftermarket warranties aren't worth the paper they're printed on, I'm an automotive service advisor, I deal with them regularly.

Found a sweet spot to mount the gps using Velcro.

I don't think Madstad has a big distributor network, if any at all. Best place to get one is direct from them.

Whatever boots you get, I'd suggest getting a pair that provides good "feedback" from the shifter to your foot. A pair that is heavy-weight enough to provide the protection you want, but light-weight enough for your foot to still feel each click. If you want avoid issues that many people experience like ghost shifts and false neutrals, I'd start paying attention now to your shift technique and practice constantly for many thousands of miles.

How many miles on your bike? Have you seen the recommendation from Honda to leave the factory fill in the rear end for a prescribed number of miles? I think it's 20,000 or so.
