What did you do to your F6B today?

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.[/QUOTE]

Bike has about 11,500 miles and this is the second rear end change.First was at about 500 miles because I had read on the Goldwing site that a lot of Goldwings were sent of to there new owners with the rear end low on fluid.So I checked mine and it was very low-Great Honda techs at my dealership never checked it so I drained what was in there and refilled with Honda brand fluid.Now I went with Amsoil severe gear as in my Dodge cummins it has served the diffs well and has 50-100k intervals.That truck has 200+K on it with no problems-Also run Amsoil in the engine at 25k intervals.As far as this special Moly in the bike new I call bunk.It's gears spinning and any good synthetic fluid will give you years of sevice.Funny thing is I already have a brand new F6B rear end in the box from a trike take off that I got on E Bay for 90.00.So if this rear end grenades I'm set for a quick change out.Only time will tell if I have done the wrong thing here but a lot of 1800's have gone 100k+ and they changed there rear end early and more often too.

Good stuff Edgeman; I'm sure it'll be fine. It IS Amsoil afterall

Installed my Honda accessory passenger seatback kit. I'd be glad to do it for anyone at the rally now that I'm pretty versed at it. I can probably do it in 30-45 minutes.

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

I have an Escort Solo 3. It runs on batteries so I don't need seperate power. I have it mounted on a Ram mount on my right handlebar. The speaker is also an Escort product around 30 bucks. It needs power so I used the wiring that came with it to connect to a switched wire from the battery. Then ran the aux connection to the handlebar through the wire channel and it just plugs into the detector. I rode with it yesterday and today and I can hear the brap of the detector even with the radio on at a high volume going 90. I wear a half helmet so I'm not sure the noise would be the same with a full or modular helmet.

Installed the Kury Drop Mini Boards in black today.

Will report tomorrow on the ergonomics.

Thanks for the details! Before your original post, I was not aware that Escort offered a powered external speaker. This seems to be a good solution for me as well and have ordered the speaker. Thanks again for the good suggestion .

This weekend I changed my shoes on the 6. 13500 miles on the original stones. Gordon at Wings of Gold said I had another 4k on them. Not risking it for the trip to Ct. at the end of the month. She wants to drop into corners like a nixer now! and I have to tippy toe a little more. The new rubber is conforting under the beast. $318 free shipping from our sponsor vendor. Mounting was $85, I use beads.

Now if Escort can only make a good detector to go with all the goodies...

Since 1994 I have driven over 1,200,000 miles between cars and bikes. I have used escort for every mile and used every escort product there is. Whether it's telling me there is a cop in the median with his lights off and radar on at midnight ( like Saturday coming home from the Lightning loss) or west Texas goin 110mph in an 80 zone, they have never failed me. There may be a better detector out there but Escort is the one for me and my relationship with the Florida DMV...

Which tires did you end up with?
