Not.
Unlike many other bikes, there is very little power to be gained by swapping pipes on a Wing. Or a Valkyrie or an ST1300 for that matter. And most cruisers don't need or want any additional noise.
How many miles you got on your F6 now, Cabbie? That's what impresses Wingers. A lot more than what your bike happens to look like.
Re-tired, or Re-tard. Depends on your attitude.
I'm liking the new colors and black pipes and loving the cruise! That's the only disapointment I had in the F6B.
Now I know, sooner or later there will be an F6B in my future with cruise control.

Having owned a few Harleys I think it's safe to say that going to an aftermarket pipe is all about the sound and the look than for performance. If a new pipe improves performance, that's an added bonus. There will be many buyers for the 2015 F6B who don't care for the blacked out exhaust and prefer the look of chrome. I would like a wee bit more growl and I like the black pipes so I'll be looking to swap my stock chrome pipes for the black when the "take off" sales begin.Not.

I am a little disappointed, I would have liked the new paint, the cruise, the reverse, and the black pipes. Although it doesn't mention that ABS will be an option, I wonder why

Yea,
I too am a little depressed reading this. Love the blue, cruise, reverse. I hope it's real expensive so I don't feel so bad.

Has never been an issue for me and would add too much extra weight to the F6B. At that point you might as well go for a full Gold Wing.
No ABS option is surprising though since after cruise control that has been the other most requested item and is already available in Canada.
During my Franklin ride last week-end, I was grateful I didn't have to listen to that loud crap. I reeled in and passed several Hogs during the ride so I wouldn't have to listen to them.Not.

Sure see a lot of talk of pipes being replaced right here on this forum. Granted, there are plenty stay stock too. But of those that get replaced, a decent amount of oems will be for sale.Not.

Oh and I don't give a d*mn about mileage. 1500 in 3 weeks. I know, I know -- you do that before lunch. Whatever. The day I'm out to impress "Wingers" will be the day I start seeing how much chrome crap and lights I can stick on.
