So far I'm enjoying the bike, the little I've been able to ride this week. I come from riding Sport Bikes and a smaller V Twin Cruiser for years. This is a great site for the F6B and glad to be part of it.

    Ya Papa, live down in Bayside Lakes in Palm Bay. We ride up to Cocoa and Port Canaveral quite often, was up at Fish Lips yesterday, but not on the bike. We frequently bar hop the entire coast of Brevard County. Ride with several Harley riders and some metric cruisers. We are snow birds so we go back to Michigan normally in June, but this year mid May as we have a Grandson graduating this year. Will be back in Sept. We should try to meet somewhere one of these days if it ever stops raining, definitely into the summer weather. Met another guy on a blue f6b couple weeks ago in Sabastian at the Tiki Bar, he had just got his.

    Matte paint finish issues?

    I currently have a 2008 FJR1300AE and looking to get a 2015 F6B Deluxe. The guy at the dealership warned me about the fact that if you scuff the matte finish paint with your boot or something there is no getting rid of it without creating a bigger shiny spot. They had to buy a customer a new panel for some part of the bike already due to this issue. Any of you have this issue yet? in some of the other posts there is the discussions about the poor paint jobs and the paint rubbing off a bit. I am currently just gathering information but these are important issues to me. I hate it when I am forced to live with something that started out appearing to be good and it goes to shit. I cant trade in every year for a new paint job...
