Top 10 (5) Accessories

[tinkerman]

I know this has been covered somewhat in about 1000 previous threads. And of course it is totally subjective and depends on riding style and expectations and for that matter if you start with a standard, or a deluxe and perhaps even in what country you purchased the bike.

I just remember when I joined this site about 12 months ago and people were in the process of making it their own their were the normal issues of finding items for a new model.

Now that we are into our third year of production and we have had a chance to try different products and in some case discard them I am wondering where everyone is in the accessories discussion.


I started with a standard model in Canada that came with linked antilock brakes and a tool kit. I have installed, not in any particular order of importance:

Center Stand - Great
Honda Touring Windshield - OK
12 V source in left cubby - Great but expensive...go aftermarket
Honda luggage rack and passenger back rest...works for me and for her
Kuryakan Passenger boards...good
Kuryakan Highway pegs...ergoIII I think...good
Bike MP3 960 Led cowl lights....great
Set of hardwired mike / speakers for the two helmets....wished I had gone Bluetooth...still might

Where is everyone else in the accessory discussion....I think if all the folk that are a year or two in here chip in like this it would be helpful for the people just coming online with Their F6B.

My Top 6 Accessories:

1. Vstream Windshield
2. Helibars
2. Rivco Aero Pegs
3. Mustang Seat
5. Kury Fork Brace
6. Kaoko throttle lock

I've been through 4 other windshields and a set of MBL Risers. The accessories listed above are the ones that are staying put, at least for now. If a better windshield or low seat comes out I'll take a look at them. The Helibars, Kaoko, Rivco pegs and fork brace are staying put for sure.

Mine are:

Baggershield windscreen: great
Brakeaway throttle lock: great
Kury mini-boards: very comfortable
Honda fog light kit: fantastic, but very pricey
Honda passenger backrest: kind of useless without an aftermarket extension, which now makes my wife very comfortable
Honda luggage rack: too small and crazy expensive for what you get (might sell it). I suggest the Show Chrome smoke chrome rack, much bigger and cheaper
Honda centre stand: an absolute must if you want to do any kind of maintenance, including just checking the air in the rear tire
SoCalMotosports LED kit: great if you hate incandescents like I do
Honda factory cover: fits perfectly (even has a cutout for the stubby antenna), looks great with the white "Honda" on the front and white "F6B" on both sides, and reasonably priced

To be added between now and Spring:

Healtech digital gear readout: I like to know what gear I'm in without having to analyze the tach and speedo
Healtech SpeedoHealer: my speedo is 6% optimistic. I like to know exactly how fast I'm going without doing mental subtractions on the go
Fenda Extenda: I'm tired of cleaning off the lower cowling and front of the engine after almost every ride
Kury fork brace: slowly coming up the sloped curb of my driveway puts an awful twist/bang through my handlebars. Hopefully the brace will fix this flaw

Until one of you guys comes up with the next latest, greatest gizmo.

It's a disease.

[Random Factor]

It's a disease.

It's called MAD (Merchandise Acquisition Disorder). There is no cure. You just have to let it run its course and hope your financial reality can cope...

My symptoms included:

Helibars (Sooo worth it!)
Madstad 13" Windshield (love it! have 2 others windshields I should probably sell)
Mustang Seat
Belly Pan
Kury Fork Brace

That's around $1800. Did the installs myself.

My Honda $1000 was:

Fog Lights
Luggage Rack
Accessory Socket
Tall Windshield

Glad I bought a Deluxe. I'm starting to really like the Heated Grips this time of year!

[Texas TC]

Taller Windshield
Belly Pan
Grips
Highway pegs
Seat
Cowel Lights
Radio knob keys for console, gas tank and saddlebags

The brands are numerous and left to the descretion of the rider.
